5. Increasing shoulder mobility
In a dead hang, your arms support the full weight of your body. Because your shoulders support your arms, how flexible they are will determine how easy or tough the exercise is for you. It enhances the range of motion of the shoulder muscles and opens them up when you do it frequently. As a result, flexing your shoulders across a wider radius is no longer uncomfortable.
6. Shoulder injury repair
By merely performing the dead hang, many people have been able to recover from shoulder sprains, strains, and discomfort, particularly through the rotator cuff.
Currently, we are not moving our shoulders in the ways that nature intended. As a result, we are frail and prone to harm.
Therefore, try the dead hang before spending thousands on physiotherapy and other corrective procedures.
7. Forearm gains
It’s time to stop doing meaningless forearm curls and start performing a few sets of these exercises each week. Dead hangs are a great exercise for increasing your forearms’ size and strength while also reaping a variety of additional advantages!
Your forearms are always tensed during a dead hang, unlike during a forearm curl. Forearm gains (and vascularity) are yours if you can master the dead hang, which means doing it frequently.
8. Strengthening your core
Any strength training exercise, such as pushups, planks, or crunches, requires core strength. The dead hang is a comprehensive workout that works every area of the upper body, including the back, abdomen, arms, and shoulders. This strengthens your core. Your overall strength and endurance increase as a result.
9. Posture correction
Dead hangs are fantastic for correcting your posture, but they are certainly not the least. Dead hangs can help your upper body become stronger, decompress, loosen up, and mobilize, as was previously mentioned in other points above. Better posture is mostly a result of all four of these elements.
Just hang in there before investing any money in one of the many posture-correcting gimmicks that are available. Literally.
