Which record does “dead hang” mean?
The category name matters. Do not treat differently named records as interchangeable tests. The public summaries do not supply every competition rule. Obtain the rules for the exact title before planning an official attempt.

The two male listings
Kenta Adachi's 2022 dead-hang-position result was achieved in Shunan, Japan. The separate bar-hanging result is dated December 2025 and was achieved in Yamaguchi, Japan. This page reports both as named by Guinness instead of declaring one an equivalent replacement for the other.

The female bar-hanging listing
Guinness lists Stefanie Millinger's 53-minute 51-second bar hang in Salzburg, Austria. The achievement date is 11 July 2026. This is the female hanging-from-a-bar title; it should be named that way when quoting the result.

Why older articles show different times
An older result can remain online after another achievement or under a different title. Compare the exact category and achievement date before making a historical timeline. A search snippet alone is not enough to establish that two performances followed identical rules.
Records do not provide a training prescription
A record listing documents an achievement. It does not establish the holder's full training routine or a suitable routine for another person. Earlier wording here described training and attempt details that these public summaries did not substantiate. Those descriptions have been removed.
Compare your own sessions
Your personal log does not need to resemble a world-record attempt. Record controlled holds with consistent equipment and assistance. We do not infer a population percentile from a record holder's time.
Use the timer and training log for your own practice.
Is 80 minutes 41 seconds still listed?
Yes. The public Guinness dead-hang-position listing showed that result when checked on 11 September 2026. The separate male bar-hanging page showed a longer result. Check the category and current official page when citing either.
