SeanGecko Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I am wondering when to progress to single-arm dead hangs. Currently I can dead hang double overhanded for about 1:40 at a bodyweight of 86kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track your 3 or 5 second max effort hang with whatever load you can bear. 2 hours ago, Stephen Anderson said: Adding weight to yourself by belt, backpack etc... I have no idea why but it never occurred to me to hang for sub-max times with added weight. I do weighted pullups so the concept isn't foreign to me, but it just never entered my brain. It makes perfect sense now that I hear you guys say it. It reminds me of the difference between doing a 3 minute elbow plank versus doing a 10 second all-out RKC plank, TOTALLY different. Thank you for the replies! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
