How to do it
Wrap all four fingers and the thumb fully around the bar before lifting.
- 1
Stand under the special bar that is high enough for you to hang from.
- 2
Grasp the bar with one hand and allow your body to hang, feeling a stretch in your lat and shoulder.
- 3
Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then switch hands and repeat on the other side.
Expert tip
Keep your shoulder engaged and avoid completely relaxing into the hang to prevent shoulder joint stress.
