I’ve recently added “hanging” to my exercise repertoire. Hoping it will relieve some shoulder impingement and help with posture. I mention because it’s a bit unusual, although I’ve also heard that hand grip strength is associated with life expectancy (as apparently is walking speed).
I've also added dead hangs to my workout. I recently went through a bout of bicep tendonitis (which is felt as shoulder pain), which is correlated with shoulder impingement. It kept me from doing pull ups for a long time, but I wanted to be able to keep my grip strength. I'm now doing pull ups again, but I still do the hanging. It actually feels really good to hang, especially after a day hunched over a computer.
How long are you able to hang for? Strength and body weight have a lot to do with this obviously.
I am going to do it right now and report back as I have a pull-up bar in the hallway next to this room. This morning I weighed 151.5.

Only 14 seconds!

As soon as I started feeling major pains in arms starting from the shoulders.

I assume that this is one of those things that you can do for more seconds the more you try it?
