HANG. LONGER. TRAIN. BETTER.
Dead hang training on this site means a bar, a timer and a log of your own holds. Build a repeatable hanging practice one session at a time.

Stop if anything hurts. Read the safety guide
Choose manageable intervals. These defaults are editable timer settings and not a prescribed workout.
The useful benchmark is your last comparable hang.
Use the same bar, grip and assistance when comparing sessions. Record what you actually held in the log. The dead hang timer only times a hold and saves nothing automatically.

Daily bests only. Filter by setup to compare like with like, and only against your own holds.

Record a hold
One hang.
Five moves.
Every hold you time on this site starts with the same setup. Scroll through it once before your first session.
-
Grip the bar
Take an overhand grip at shoulder width and wrap your thumbs around the bar. Squeeze the bar firmly before you lift off.
-
Set your shoulders
Pull the shoulder blades down and back while keeping the arms straight. This is the active hang position.
-
Lift your feet
Step off the platform and let the bar take your full bodyweight. You should not need to jump to reach the bar.
-
Hang and breathe
Straighten your arms completely and brace your core. Breathe slowly and do not hold your breath.
-
Step down early
Stop 1 to 2 seconds before your grip fails and step down under control. Stop if anything hurts.
Learn the setup
Choose a secure bar, a comfortable grip and assistance you can control. Read the setup guide before your first session.
