Hanging For Shoulder Health and Strength
623,628
Published 2017-04-21
Shoulder strength and shoulder mobility depends on hanging. Without regular hanging we will not have the shoulder flexibility that we should. This stresses our rotator cuff and limits shoulder strength. If you're concerned about injury prevention, you should be hanging.

Just put out a new video sharing shoulder rehab exercises that pair really well with the hanging work in this video! Check it and I hope it helps you out. https://youtu.be/L-pRVAugfsI

This same routine worked wonders for me. Shoulder where always sore and stiff before. After one year of daily hanging routine they feel like they did 25-30 years ago. I have installed a bar and hang for 30-60 seconds couple of times a day.

This guy is correct. An orthopedic doctor wrote a book about this many years ago. This can cure all shoulder issues including rotor cuff tears. He stopped doing surgeries to repair shoulders.

hanging is great, stretches your back, makes your forearms and shoulders stronger, and when you progress to pull ups the benefits multiply... plus you feel like an absolute beast doing them
-
Suffered shoulder injury, Including rotator cuff. Discovered shoulder hang on my own. Was the only thing that eased pain. Nothing from physical therapists helped nearly as much
-
Passive hanging is what I do for my tight shoulder and lower back pain. I love those 'pop' feeling when I do this
-
There's so much to learn about developing grip strength and this video gave me a new perspective on training. Great job!
-
I can't believe I watched a 9 minute video on hanging (I barely even watch 9 minute videos on anything) but I lapped it all up and it really makes sense...subscribed!!!
-
That is so cool seeing the difference between passive and active by looking at the head position.

Thanks for this, sir. I’ve been hanging from one arm for awhile and I didn’t even realize how much it was helping my impingement until I watched this video! It all makes sense. It still hurts a little bit to hang in an H shape with 2 hands since there’s less room between your shoulder and ear, so there’s definitely benefit to doing all of these rather than just skipping to the one armed hang just because you already can. Today, I will put more practice towards hanging in an H shape.

This is 100% correct. Found this out by accident while looking for a solution to my shoulder impingement. Should be taught more widely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I recently heard about hanging but the video didn't explain the why's. I've only been doing it a week now but doing it revealed something interesting: A VERY tight armpit muscle on the same shoulder with the impingement. Your video is very informative. Thanks!
-
I do this daily and I enjoy it so much!
-
This is the quality educational health content youtube needs
-
Super clear explanations. Nice to see hanging explained!
-
Just saw your video. I have been doing this for the last few months. It has helped significantly with reducing shoulder pain. Then engaging the shoulder muscles it has improved my pull ups and leg lifts.

I am a recovering vet, I recently ask for and was given Physical Therapy by the VA, (january 2018) That got me on a heal myself track in life, sleeping on a yoga mat , healthy food, walking, PLUS stretching and I included swangin as a part of that. I am just totally amazed at the change I have seen in my physical and mental health. I found all of my information on youtube. Thanks

as a calisthenics enthusiasts.. this put a smile on my face.. one arm hang record is 55 sec,, two arm almost 5 minutes.. hanging is for life..

I've had motorbike accidents,. sporting injuries, work related injuries etcetera, A lot of these had been on my shoulders, so I'm very glad to have seen this video, it's like I finally have something practical to do about my damaged rotator cuffs. Baie dankie.
