Açıklama
The Active Hang is a movement/hold performed while hanging from a pull-up bar, where the shoulder blades are actively pulled down to isolate the latissimus dorsi (lats). Unlike a passive hang, the shoulder girdle is kept active. It works the lats, lower traps, and shoulder stabilizer muscles. It is a critical exercise for pull-up preparation and grip strength. It also improves shoulder mobility and health. When performed regularly, it provides significant improvements in grip strength, lat activation, and pull-up performance.
Adım Adım Talimatlar
- 1
Step up to a pull-up bar and grip it with a shoulder-width overhand grip.

Engage your core muscles.
