- Exercise Type:
- Total Hang
- Contraindications:
- Shoulder Issues/Mobility
- Equipment:
- Sliders
- Applicability:
- Group
- Superset?:
- No
- Sprint-able?:
- Yes
Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 2. Full shoulder elevation followed by active scapular depression at the dead hang.
- 3. Keep active — a passive hang stresses the joint; an active hang builds it.
Regression:
Substitute a dead hang from a low bar at hip height for a less demanding entry point.
Progression:
Introduce passive stretching into the hang by allowing gradual shoulder elevation over time.
Common Problems:
Swinging instead of staying still — tighten the core and glutes to dampen any oscillation.
