- Contraindications:
- Shoulder Issues/Mobility, Wrist Problems
- Equipment:
- Floor Based
- Applicability:
- Focus
- Superset?:
- Yes
- Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Full shoulder elevation followed by active scapular depression at the dead hang.
- 2. Breathe throughout; do not hold the breath during a sustained hang.
- 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Substitute a dead hang from a low bar at hip height for a less demanding entry point.
Progression:
Add controlled scapular shrugs during the hang to work shoulder girdle strength in the end range.
Common Problems:
Swinging instead of staying still — tighten the core and glutes to dampen any oscillation.
