The dead hang is a simple exercise that can transform your strength, posture, and mobility. By gripping and holding your body weight, you build powerful forearms, decompress your spine, improve shoulder health, and even boost grip endurance for everyday tasks. It takes only a few minutes a day to feel the difference, making it one of the most accessible and beneficial exercises you can add to your routine for strengthening your upper body and core muscles.
