I’ve spoken tomes about the JCVD split – although he isn’t the only one by far that can do ’em right and well – at a level most people cannot – he made them famous, therefore, like the Jack La Lanne Pushup, and Rahul Mookerjee patented squat, it gets the moniker – the exercise, that is.

You’ve heard me talk about the dip, the upper body equivalent of the squat, or the pull-up.

But have you ever, despite my tomes about the split, heard me talk about an upper body equivalent for it?

There is one, my friend, and it’s one that stretches the entire body but especially the hips, and upper back, and that is this, the DEAD hang.

Lots of folks might say “downward dog”, or wrestlers bridge.

But those are full body stretches.

If you really focus “upper body” as a whole, then nothing beats the dead hang done right, no swinging etc.

Gripping right.

Combined with the Rahul Mookerjee patented squat, it makes for a heck of a workout, and given the going ons thus far today, as you can tell from my last email, damn did I need a LONG workout.

Sometimes you just want to lose yourself in things, and isometrics are perfect to do that with.

Not only that, the dead hang opens up the upper chest, traps, the HIPS as you relax further into it, the SIDES, even the lower abs – in a manner nothing else can.

Try hanging properly for three minutes.

At a stretch.

If you can do less than quarter of that right, you’re getting somewhere.

3 minutes, you’re on your way to stud level.

And such

Part of the reason monkey bars, a hidden secret I’ve mentioned (but it’s out in the open for you to use, no-one does) in Gorilla Grip, Gorilla Grip Advanced, and Gorilla Grip TIPS! work so well is that this workout, especially when done at an advanced level forces you to move your body through space vertically, but also if done right you’re doing a dead hang on one arm for a bit as you move back and forth, or jump with your hands back and forth – I wouldn’t advocate the last one for everyone. Takes work, practice.

But you’re using momentum there.

Even if it’s controlled.

For the true benefit of the dead hang, do ’em isometrically on a THICK bar.

Combine with the rest of the stuff I teach, do regularly, your life will OPEN UP in ways you never ever imagined possible, my friend. The funk will lift, others spreading negative energy will MELT away, problems will disappear, goals will materialize – I cannot speak highly enough of the above exercises.

Thats that, friend.
