10 SUPER Effects of Doing Dead Hangs For (90 Days)
In this video, I’m going to tell you what happens to your body when you do dead hangs daily for 90 days. Sometimes simplicity is the way to go. A dead hang is a classic example of this. It’s a simple body weight exercise that when done right yields explosive results.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a nutshell:
Effects of doing daily dead hangs
1. Strengthens the upper body
A dead hang works most of the muscles in the back, arms, and upper body in general. As you keep doing dead hangs, especially for an extended period like 90 days daily, you can expect to get stronger in these muscles.
This is made possible due to the opposing forces of your palms’ grip on the bar and the gravitational pull of the rest of your body.
As a result, you’ll see a boost in your lifting capacity for several exercises.
It can also improve your athletic performance in activities like boxing, swimming, jump roping, and rowing.
Not to mention, doing dead hangs every day releases any sort of stiffness in your muscles, specifically in the upper body.
This explains why hanging on monkey bars as a kid feels incredible.
Everyday tasks like opening bottles and jars and even as simple as holding a pen requires grip strength. But it’s even more important in numerous exercises. Here’s how:
2. Develops grip strength
Dead hangs benefit the development of your grip.
In fact, it’s the most effective exercise by far to increase one’s grip strength.
A good grip strength is essential when doing exercises like rows, deadlifts, and pull-ups. So many people spend plenty of hours strengthening their upper body muscles.
However, only a few pay attention to deliberately training their wrist and hand muscles for grip strength.
So, it’s high time to stop overlooking this aspect of fitness.
Plus, as I’ve said, having good grip strength goes beyond being able to lift in the gym.
You need it to carry out everyday activities like carrying suitcases. A stronger latissimus dorsi is another good thing that comes from doing dead hangs daily, but I’ll explain that further in a short while.
3. Promotes bigger and stronger forearms
Forget about forearm curls.
Do dead hangs every day for months and you’ll see your forearms grow bigger.
The majority of the upper body exercises are centered on building the biceps and triceps and not so much on the forearms.
But there’s dead hang, amazing exercises for increasing the size and strength of the forearms, all the while reeling in other benefits.
Unlike forearm curls, dead hangs place your forearms under constant tension.
This is simply because your entire body weight is borne by your forearms, wrist, and palms. All those body parts ultimately gain tremendous strength with regular practice. In the end, daily activities that involve pushing, pulling, and lifting are also made easier.
