Pretty sure I couldn’t do this.

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

So rude, man. Don't call her a that.

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.

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. -

With your torn rotator cuffs, you could try farmer's walks in the gym for forearm strength (well, and some other muscles, too).
I also believe that active hangs (with your back engaged) are more shoulder-friendly than passive hangs. -
This is a little creepy that this popped up in my social media today but I'm grateful for it giving me a suggested form I could safely do with my rotator cuff.
@jon-nyc I just googled that article, to read. Thanks
@Axtremus yeah I tried yesterday, my hands hurt before anything... obviously losing some weight will help. After a few false starts, I've actually gotten into a good habit of tracking calories (via that AI app) throughout the day to stay under the suggested 1800 calories, as well as trying to walk for an hour each day, I have a walking treadmill next to my desk. But, if you recall back in my early days of TNCR in 2005... I weighed 232 and got down to 175 over 2 years, mostly by eating subway sandwiches and running, I tracked manually with an excel chart. This time, I'm back at 229 (I know.... gained like 25 pounds in 2 years since my last kid was born and absolutely removed any hint of free time...) but with a goal of getting back to 175 again. I bought a scale in my bathroom that automatically sends the weight to my phone when I step on it, so I can see via chart each day how I'm tracking.

I'm on a routine of 30 minutes incline treadmill every morning, along with my diabetes diet. Down to 280 and looking spectacular.
Today is my weight lifting day. Every three days I do dumbell bench, dumbell fly, seated row, lat pulldown, and military press.
