      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!

              Just tried a dead hang. I only lasted about 32 seconds. 🤷

                  I usually do three sets of 75s. I'm pretty dead after that, so the name "dead hang" is well-deserved.

                    That's pretty good. I'd die of boredom to hold it much longer.

                        Now that I think about it, any concern about my torn rotator cuff? Should I avoid these?

                            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.

                              Yeah, but full body weight hanging is not the place to start. Do some shoulder machines aat the gym.

                                I do shoulder stuff. Always calculated to have my humoral head set in its socket (that’s so sexy to think about).

                                  An exercise that makes one look like a total doofus is optimal for those who look like total doofi no matter what they're doing.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                    Not sure. I 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.
