What It Is
Simply hanging from a bar, a beginner-friendly way to build grip strength and gently stretch your shoulders and back.
How to Do It
Stand on a box or step to reach the bar if needed. Grip it with palms facing away, hands shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and hang with straight arms for the time given. Step back down to finish.
