@@sternleiche laborious hard work? Yes lol males. Im definitely not built for construction or more like made and before bornnhavebbeen fed good. But I'd rather be payed 120k and just work out a lot. Than doing physical labor unless it's building or remodeling houses which I will probably enjoy since my father does that.
@@IsraelCountryCube Why work out a lot if one can spend this time and energy doing essential work? after that going home knowing to be of actual use to society. What does one want with 120k? buying all the useless things one does not really need? Having fake calculating people around? When going into building houses you would do absolutely essential work and by doing it right train body and mind alongside furthermore finding purpose to be a House builder and with that satisfaction.
Q. Do you struggle with your grip while doing deadlifts, Knee raises,or even trying to open a jar lid? Ans. Well the simplest way to improve your grip strength is wearing the "Blue Shorts" while doing your workout.
Yes - good advice. Dead hangs not only improved my grip strength but importantly got rid of my shoulder impingement. I was in chronic pain from over-developed deltoids relative to the weaker smaller rotator cuff muscles. Dead hangs (passive and active) strengthened my shoulders in a balanced way and I have no more pain. First time I tried dead hangs, I could only manage 10 seconds. Now I do them in every work-out (3 or 4x, and have worked up to a 150 seconds).
Grip strength has been a weakness of mine while doing pull ups. Started doing dead hangs each time I left my room since I have a pull up bar attached to my door frame. Up to 50 second holds now :D
I don't consider my grip strength to be a weakness, it is optimized for the physical activity I'm doing which means I am being as efficient as possible. I have no reason to have any more muscle than I do currently because that would decrease the efficiency of the overall system with little or no benefit. Thank you.
Hanging is fantastic for back issues. ( Also, upside down if you can find suitable equipment ) Learnt this exercise from Taoist alchemy training. The minimum target was 40 seconds hanging then rest for a minute - repeat 3X. This also improves tendon strength that will stay with you longer than muscle strength if you happened to stop exercising for any particular reason. Superb exercise that is seriously overlooked. Also, try to get good form when hanging in regards to being calm and breath control.
Wow I guess my grips did improved without me noticing it. I do pull ups using the wood bridgings in my house because I don't have a pull-up bar . It is challenging because the wood really hurts my hands overtime and them being not easy to grip
Those are really great suggestions. In the US we're so hung up on everything being sold to us or having to pay to do things that we have forgotten to use those things around us as exercise devices. Thanks for the video.
I've been going to the gym for years, but only recently started doing hangs. I don't know why, but they are a lot harder than I assumed. I could only manage about 40 seconds on my first go, and it's taken me weeks to get over a minute.
Really nice home version with the chair, never thought of that, ... Although note to self, make sure it's not too heavy for my forearms 🙂. So far I'm at phase 6 of the intermediate complete calisthenics
The only thing that motivates me to jump into the -nightmare- train wich brings me home is the bar it has on the ceiling. I dead hang there with the extra kgs of my backpack until I feel all my spine decompressing. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I can't wait to be strong enough to not need the resistance band. I can feel my grip strength getting stronger. (I've been doing negative chin ups with a thick blue band) I plan to now do the same with pull ups
I had grip strength issues in the past, but I do dead hangs once or twice a week after my workouts for a year now, and my hanging time increased up to 3-4 minutes. Grip strength is much much better now.
@@biggusdickkus2956 He used to have grip strength issues; however, for about a year now he has been doing deadhangs twice a week after his regular workout routine. Following this pattern, his hang time has increased over the year to 3-4 minutes. I hope that is clear, Magnus Dickus.
My struggle is not my grips but my calouses are getting really painful every time I go on the bars. I mean I do see to them (file and moisturise) but they are progressively getting really painful
That' s one of the biggest WAG and MAG struggles, ikr. I don' t know the name in english, sorry😕 but "callus protective stuff" is a life saver. Hope somebody finds the word for you. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Grip strength has been my greatest hurdle in my journey, every time I try to do pull-ups or deadlifts it's the first thing that fails. Sometimes my fingers even lock out and i hurts a little
How would these be incorporated into our routines though? My forearms always seem like the weakest link and the most exhausted muscle after a workout, because of this I feel they also need more rest. If my main exercises are limited by grip, then it's not possible to just add more grip work at the end of my usual routine.
Do it at home, or invest in some form of grip trainer you can take to work. Do it on your rest days, or if on the same day, try to do it as far apart from the rest of the workout. E.g. workout in the morning, grip training before bed. Or vice versa.
Its called deadhang for a reason, not active hang. Hanging with shoulder elevation AKA touching your ears you can also tilt your pelvis and get a very good lat stretch
In my workout routine, I have to do Bent knee raises for abs but i am never able to complete it before my arms give out not my abs so I switched them out with dead hangs so i can hang a little longer to complete the exercise lol
Sometimes, especially when I have a ganglion cyst in the left wrist. It makes things a little uneasy to keep a proper grip of the weights when doing deadlifts.
i couldn't do 1 pull up aur chin up and starting dead hanging and active hangs for 6 days and was able to do my first pull up.... and also when i started i was able to hang for 38 sec but now 90 sec with eazz
My left hand always got the perfect grip right from the start.. my right hand on the other hand..(literally on the othet hand) Also, for wrist stability i found sphinx pushups on my fists to be helpful. It's a custom made exercise and i got no idea if it's safe.
Do you have advice for doing dead hangs properly to avoid injury with stretchy joints? I feel like the idea of a dead hang is to be muscularly engaged to keep the joints in place, but I'm not sure exactly the proper muscle activation pattern, or if doing it that way negates the "decompression/stretching" aspect of the hang altogether and there's a better approach.
“30 seconds at the begining” bruh. My begining was 3 seconds or less 😂😂 I couldn’t even open jars properly too. I’d have to use a cloth or jar opener lol
Engaging the lats would turn it into an active hang. A full passive hang like shown in this video is beneficial for the lower back due to the decompression. It can also be beneficial in stretching and rehabilitating shoulder issues, although it does depend on the shoulder issue at hand.
