Friend,
I dont know why, but I felt compelled to post this video - again.
I just love dead hangs like nothing else - they are one of the BEST isometric movements you can do for the upper body - bar none.
Often times I'll start my day with a 30 second dead hang even before my beloved Squats.
With good reason, along with clubs (which are great to do with pushups, btw - a GREAT movment! They really loosen up the triceps and get the blood flowing again) - they loosen and strengthen the lower back - or entire back, I should say, upper especially like nothing else.
I still remember Dad when I was young trying - and falling down after a second. Hehe.
Unfortunately I never did them when I was young.
But I do them all the time, today was another dead hang day, I loved it!
Without further ado, here is the video for those that cannot see it at the bottom of the page - Friend,

PS - This is one movement that will like the actual pull-up itself in any of its shapes, forms and guises BRUTALLY expose not just fat around the midsection, but if you're overweight in general, you wont be able to do it for any appreciable length of time - period. Most people that are fat try to avoid pull-ups anyway (big mistake) and whine about "your nonsense about just do it when you could tell people to do assisted pull-ups".
Sorry, that isn't there (assisted pull-ups or in any appreciable form, even horizontal pull-ups mostly - though I believe I put that in one book somewhere) in either Pull-ups - from DUD to STUD within a matter of WEEKS! - or Pull-ups -from STUD to super STUD within WEEKS!
I dont handhold or baby sit pansies.
When I could do not do an exercise, I hammered myself relentlessly until I could do it, simple as that, so should you if you want to get good at something, no excuses pal.
I really want to get one taken with my thick gripz, see how that pans out (video on that - and on THICK BARS outdoors!).
All in good time. Hehe.
