Dead Hang for Grip Strength and Longevity
Practice hanging from a pull-up bar for at least 1 minute, gripping as tightly as possible to maximize your hold time. It can be used as a simple strength benchmark, with longer targets such as 90 seconds to 2 minutes indicating better upper-body and grip endurance. Because it reflects grip strength and overall pulling capacity, it’s a practical longevity and fitness metric.
