0:28
You probably never knew that as an everyday exercise, dead hangs are often overlooked
0:34
But hanging from an overhead bar will not only help your spine and give your muscles a much
0:39
needed stretch, but it can actually lower your risk for deadly cardiovascular and respiratory
0:45
diseases too. In other words, performing a daily dead hang could possibly save your life

The health benefits of doing deed hangs pull-ups are not a joke even for seriously fit people
0:58
pull-ups can be a challenge. It's no easy feat lifting your entire body up with only a bar for
1:04
support. One way to help achieve a pull-up is by doing dead hangs. Their name sounds just like
1:11
you're simply hanging from a pull-up bar. Some people also use dead hangs to stretch the upper
1:17
body. So stay tuned to learn how dead hangs can save your life
1:22
Number 1. Dead hangs decompress. The spine of modern society's sedentary lifestyle can wreak
1:29
havoc on our spines. Sitting positions can lump untold stress upon your back and neck muscles
1:36
It can result in the tightening of the hip flexors and impeding blood flow to the gluteus maximus
1:42
which are super important supporters of the spine. So for those who spend a lot of time
1:47
sitting in front of a screen or behind the steering wheel, also spending time
1:51
hanging out every day can be really beneficial to overall health. A dead hang may decompress
1:58
and stretch out the spine. It may be helpful if you sit often or need to stretch out a sore back
2:05
Try hanging with straight arms for 30 seconds to one minute before or after your workout for
2:11
the best results. Number 2. Minimize muscular imbalances. Of course, dead hangs are about more than just a good grip. They can increase shoulder mobility
2:24
improve muscular and lat strength, and reduce shoulder pain. By doing dead hangs every day
2:30
you can minimize the chance of muscular imbalance along with severe injury
2:35
Number 3. Relieve shoulder pain. If you have a rotator cuff injury, dead hangs may strengthen
2:42
your injured shoulder muscles and help your shoulder remodel itself. Since shoulder pain is common among athletes, they mainly rely on dead hangs which save them
2:52
from serious shoulder injuries. Number 4. Improve grip strength. Grip strength is crucial in obstacle course racing and other sports such as wrestling
3:03
climbing, and gymnastics. It's also necessary for normal everyday tasks like carrying groceries
3:09
opening jars, and even holding a pencil. Dead hangs can improve grip strength
3:14
Some studies show weak grip strength may be a risk factor for decreased mobility
3:21
Later in life, you need to have a strong grip whether you want to open a tight jar or plant
3:25
a rock climb. Performing dead hangs several times a week may help improve grip strength
3:31
Number 5. Stretch the upper body. Last but not least, dead hangs are an excellent
3:38
stretch for the shoulders, arms, and back. If your body feels tight from sitting or exercising
3:44
you may want to try dead hangs a few times a week as a cool down or relaxing stretch
3:49
So here is why dead hang is much needed for your daily workout. Have you ever done it before
3:54
I hope this video will inspire you to do dead hangs everyday to maximize your strength
