I free hang as a pre-workout stretch. It's probably around 45 second to a minute for each arm. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

When I was in Phuket over the holidays, a bar had a contest. You pay $3 to enter the contest; if you can hang for 2 minutes you win one whiskey. I was down! I paid my $3, stepped on the stool to reach the bar, and when I grabbed the bar I realized I was fucked. The bar diameter was big, about the same diameter as a barbell where the plates slide on to. AND... the bar rotated freely. I only lasted for 48 seconds. I tried different grips: reverse, staggered. But 48 seconds was the longest I could hang on for.
 
....tendons. Trying to dislocate everything on command!

Not just on grip but on the shoulder sockets.

For grip I still love farmer’s walks the best.

Love Farmers walks (HATE them, but man they're good).

What's great for my grip strength: Slalom skiing (water).
 
Yeah, fuck situps to hell. They're way 80's anyway...
 
power cleans, dips, modified chin-ups and rowing.

not that bad of a work out but lord i was winded and had to use my inhaler. :/
 
I'm still at it.

The running has been iffy because my whole world is a sheet of ice.

I've been mostly rowing. Currently averaging 18 miles/week.

Down to 207 pounds.

I've been doing it in the early hours because I like my day free but working out pre-coffee is......something.
 
One hour on the treadmill tonight, incline between 9% and 15%, fast enough to keep HR between 140-160.
At least I managed to find one that didn't have 24 hour news talking heads in front of it.

Got on the scale this morning at 217.2. Haven't been under 220 since boot camp in 1998. :)
