What are dead hangs? Holding on to a pull up bar for lengths of time?


Yes. 30 seconds or so to start. Build up to 2 minutes. Add weight or try one hand after that.

Went for a run today. Been using Couch to 5K to slowly build my cardio. It’s been steadily increasing in intensity. But today.....frick me. It went from “Okay! Just a little bit more!” to “YOU’RE GONNA DIE TODAY FAT BOY!!!!!!”

Can’t wait for fall weather.

ETA: No, it wasn’t strength training, but it’s part of the overall program.

I have dead hangs in my program. Great for grip strength. I got a Spartan Race at the end of September so I need to improve my grip strength for that.

Intensity bench. Doubles to 250 (I think) in giant sets with rope sled pulls and side laterals. 4 more giant sets of weighted dips, curls and skullcrushers after that.

Cardio was sled pulls x5 and battle rope shakes x15 at the top of every minute for 10 min.

Heavy squats. Working up to 370 for doubles in giant sets with GHR and hip thrusts. On 370, rep 1 was great. Rep 2, lost balance, got too far forward and had to ditch it. I was mad because I had it.

3x3 backoff split squats supersetted with RDLs. It was raining, so trap bar deads instead of farmers walks. Did singles with 500x2 and 520 supersetted with turkish getups and hollow rocks.

Deload week after steadily increasing weight for the past 3 months. Schedule is off due to work, hoping to get another workout in this evening before dinner.

yes, yes sir it does. And to think you can continue to run this until you reset, replace with a variant, get strong as shite ont eh variant and after a few resets either do another variant or go back to the OG

Squat 210 3x5
Deadlift 155 3x10
Leg Curls
Leg press

Run 30 mins

Squats weights flew up. Seriously no issue here. Ready to throw more on the bar. Think I’m almost back to pre-vacation strength.

Deadlift no issue. Ready for more weight too.

Overall awesome day in the gym. One of those days where everything was flying up and moving well

Volume on split squats. I did 6 sets of 5 reps with 135, supersetted with RDL for 2 sets, good morning for 2 and GHR for 2.

Little light calf work then yoke walk for 50 feet at the top of every minute for 8 min. I figure my 50 foot 1rm for yoke is around 600-625, so I did 365 or 375 (forgot yoke weight) for the 8 runs.

Injuries suck. I've had enough and managing them and not losing progress is an art.

Good luck in working through/with it.
