Pretty sure I couldn’t do this.

Try to dead hang from a bar for one minute. Most people can't do this.
Try hanging with one hand. Most people can't do that for a second.

I've heard there are lots of health/back benefits if you just dead hang each day for as long as you can.

I do that on a regular basis. It straightens you out pretty well, and your forearm strength increases significantly. In fact, I often do dead hang with left hand alone to to address the muscular imbalance between left and right forearm due to decades of, eh..., coffee drinking with the right arm!

Get woke. That's pronouns are they/that.

That sucks because I need to work on forearm strength and though I bought the hand crunch things I never think to use them. This would be something i could do quickly at the end of my gym session.
I think I’ll try them with weighted support under me. That’s how I do my pull-ups for the same reason.

Just tried a dead hang. I only lasted about 32 seconds.
What gave out? Forearm/grip?

Not sure. It was just a quick test and I did not put much thought into it. Maybe I'll try to be a bit more methodical the next time.

I tried dead hanging again. This time I lasted around 34 seconds, maybe. Still not sure whether it's the arms or the grip that gave out first. Well, both tries need an asterisk because I had to lift my legs throughout -- the metal frame I hung from is too low from the ground; my feet would be on the ground if I didn't lift my legs while hanging from said metal frame.

I couldn't, it's a strength to bodyweight thing. Rockjocks are very lean, and strong. There's a 19C photo of some pioneers in Scotland who used a snooker table to train... hands on the table, feet up the wall, hand walk around the table!
TBH if it's hand to forearm strength you want, all you need is a stick; swing it up vertically as a sword, stopping the downward swing at waist level by tightening your two hands with a slight inward motion. Develops wrist and forearm strength.
People (kendoka / aikidoka) who have practiced suburi for years have an intense grip when they want to apply it.
