HOW TO DO FLEXED-ARM HANG
- Use a box or assistance to reach the top of a pull-up with the chin clear of the bar and the chest lifted.
- Remove the support only after establishing a firm grip, then hold with elbows bent, shoulders down, trunk braced, and neck neutral.
- Breathe steadily and avoid resting the chin on the bar.
- When the position begins to fall, lower under control or return to the step rather than dropping.
- The flexed-arm hang develops isometric endurance in the back, elbow flexors, forearms, and grip at a specific joint angle.
- Accumulate short quality holds and vary angles if broader strength is the goal.
