- None

- Dumbbell

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Keep active — a passive hang stresses the joint; an active hang builds it.
- 3. Breathe throughout; do not hold the breath during a sustained hang.
- 4. Feet may be on the floor for a partial hang to reduce load when needed.
Regression:
Substitute a dead hang from a low bar at hip height for a less demanding entry point.
Progression:
Increase hang duration progressively. Add a light plate on the feet once 60 seconds is achieved consistently.
Common Problems:
Grip giving out early — use chalk or a towel wrap to shift demand proximally.
