I find both are useful. Dead hang tends to become difficult to maintain for long intervals. Adding a little active hang action when dead hand becomes unbearable improves my staying power. But I’m old, so doing more that a minute in a rep is difficult. I’m working up to longer times slowly. Thanks for the effort in your video.
Thats an interesting insight, it might be becasue during an active hang your mind gets something else to focus on which makes the hanging mentally easier. A minute is already a great performance John, nicely done 💪🏽👊🏽
Concise, informative, very well shot and edited. Glad to discover your channel (popped up on the front page), looks like you have a bunch of interesting content. Happy new year. Easy sub.
I will try active hangs, thanks for this video. Been focussed on dead hangs and pull-ups since losing a lot of strength during the lockdowns. Be good to add active hangs now I understand them more.
Great information thanks. I been doing dead hangs for a few weeks and it has cured my shoulder pain and wrist pain. I will try and add in some active hangs as my overall strength improves. Currently doing a 45 sec. hang followed by 90 sec. rest for 6 sets. Cheers
my problem with either hanging styles is mostly my hands, it seems that the skin will be ripped from my fingers and I need to let go way before my arms are actually tired
Yea that is the case especailly in the beginning and also depending a bit on the bar you are using. In my experience the hands will get used to it. One option is to use gardening gloves with a good grip, that makes it more comfortable and makes the grip less of a limiting factor. Hope that was of some help 💪🏽👊🏽
The bar should be up so high that a person can let his or her legs dangle as far down as possible without bending and not being close at all to touching the ground.
I used to be religious about taking care of my shoulder mobility with dislocates and dead hangs daily. But then I got lazy with it the past few years. I finally got sick of feeling like my ROM was being effected and my chest/shoulders/traps feeling constantly tight. So I've been back to daily mobility for the past month. My shoulders are like 95% better and I feel great overall. Especially when I start each morning off with a dead hang. Plus the improved grip and wrist strength has been an added bonus.
My rotator cuff have been a pain point for months. I’m doing passive hangs currently 5 min a day. Would you recommend to keep doing these or also add an active hang? I’m stretching all the muscles out instead of creating more tension but I’d like to hear your opinion. Thanks a lot!
Well in terms of mobility you want to also strengthen the muscle in the stretched position so the body/muscles dare to go into that position since they "know" they can produce force in that lengthened position so I dont think it would hurt to ad some active hangs or maybe do them as scapular pull-ups instead of active hangs. Here is a short video coverin them ruclips.net/video/vOjhYBjqVHc/видео.html. Side note: quite often you get shoulder pain becasue something is very tight, and usually in the case of the shouldet (Not always) it is the lats and/or the pecs so I would start by stretching out those which for many of my clients has solved their shoulder pain. good luck Ferre!
@@ferresikkeleir51 Yea I would definitvely try with stretching the pecs and then also try some dumbell flies with a light weight really focusing on the stretch aspect. Even though you dont feel it in the pulling exercises I would still recommend also stretching the lats (I dont think dead hangs are the most effectvie stretch for the lats). I would do something where you have to reach (Here is a old video that demonstrates the lat stretch I think could be good ruclips.net/video/DZchTPx7pbo/видео.html)
Well depends on what you are after but I would say option 3 is probably my prefered option: Active hang to failure followed by a dead hang to failure (If you dont have any issues in your shoulders for deadhangs) Hope that gave some clarification 💪🏽

Your bar is too low. You need to really hang (without bending your knees). You can't really relax if you're pulling your knees up. And relax is what you need to do while hanging.
Pull-ups vs Rows? Which one will suit you better? Watch this video to find out: ruclips.net/video/SZf8gbunywQ/видео.html
I love when people get right to the point
Appreciate the comment Otis 👊🏽🙏🏽
For a small channel, your editing and advice is freakin' awesome.
Well thank you very much Courtney, appreciate hearing that 🙏🏽
I have hypermobility and this video confirmed I'm doing the right thing with actives. Thanks!
Happy to help, good luck man!

Glad to hear you discovered how you can benefit from active hangs John 💪🏽👊🏽
I appreciate your video. It could be interesting a deeper study of the mechanisms of the two movements, to make people do it the best way.
Thanks for the comment Marco, appreciate it 👊🏽 Yea thats a great idea, thanks for the suggestion 💪🏽
Thx‼️very helpful info…I’ll be switching to the Active Hang.
Glad to hear you found an option that suits you well Shawn 💪🏽 Appreciate the comment 👊🏽

Really glad to hear that dead hangs have helped you out Richard 💪🏽 45 sec is a good time, keep it up! 👊🏽
very nice video

lmao i know that " skin will be ripped from fingers" feeling haha lmao xD
Straps or gloves might help.
Active hang is cool and the advanced version of active, the swan hang is best for bulletproofing the shoulders.
Yea and thats also a great starting point if you want to move on to sternum chin-ups💪🏽Great suggestion Jake👊🏽
Very informative video! Awesone
Thanks dude!
잘봤습니다. 꾸준히 운동하시네요. 멋있습니다. 안전운동하세요. 응원합니다.
Thank you, I appreciate that. 🙏🏽
Really helpful💪

The bar should be up so high that a person can let his or her legs dangle as far down as possible without bending and not being close at all to touching the ground.
Yes that would be ideal Robert. In my experience most bars are not high enough for people over 183 cm at least here in Finland
why?
What happens when your really tall and you can’t hang a bar where there no support

@@goprimate The pain mostly comes from pushes excercises not pull, when I do push ups for example then my shoulders hurt the day after..

@@goprimate thankyou brother, time for me to fix this permanently. You got a sub and a new loyal follower. Big thanks again.
@@ferresikkeleir51 All good hope it helps man, best of luck! Thank you, appreciate it
Use both
Yes that is a smart option indeed 👍🏽
So, just do both?
Well depends on what you are after but I would say option 3 is probably my prefered option: Active hang to failure followed by a dead hang to failure (If you dont have any issues in your shoulders for deadhangs) Hope that gave some clarification 💪🏽
@@goprimate thanks!

One of each every morning. Start with the dead hang.
Sounds like a solid routine, nice! 💪🏽
