Muscles Involved: Chest, shoulders, lats, and biceps are stretched. This is also a great way to work on your grip strength (forearm muscles)
Instructions
Jump (or step onto a box or bench) and grab a bar such as a pull-up bar.
Your feet should be off the ground.
Relax your body and hang for 30 seconds. Be sure to completely let your body relax.
This is also a great way to work on grip strength.
You can try using different grips – mixed (one overhand, one underhand), close grip, wide grip, underhand grip, neutral grip.
If you don’t have the grip strength to hang from a bar, you can do this on a shorter bar and let your toes stay on the ground, or do this on a lat pulldown. If you do this on a lat pulldown, you will need to set the weight to be heavy enough where you can hang without pulling the bar down.
