DeadHangs is an independent publishing and tools site. Last reviewed: 30 October 2026. It does not provide medical care or individual coaching. We do not claim that this content has been written or reviewed by named certified clinicians or trainers where no such review is documented.
Research and interpretation
Research claims should link to the original study or relevant primary guidance. A handgrip-force test is not the same measurement as a timed hang. An association between grip strength and health does not establish that practicing hangs changes lifespan.
Tools and training plans
The calculator compares your entered hold with your own target and previous result. It does not calculate a population percentile. Training plans are editable planning frameworks rather than individually prescribed programs or promises of specific improvement.
Equipment coverage
Category guides explain fit, mounting and buying considerations. A shopping link is not evidence that we have physically tested a product. Check the exact manufacturer's instructions and current retailer terms before buying.
Affiliate disclosure
As an Amazon Associate, DeadHangs.com earns from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links are marked and direct to Amazon. Amazon may send you to your local Amazon store. This commercial relationship helps fund the free site. We do not claim that every retailer, product or price is included.
Corrections and dates
Material corrections should explain the changed claim and the reason. On 11 September 2026 we removed unsupported age-percentile claims from the age guide and calculator. We also removed unsupported longevity claims from the homepage. A change date is not a claim that every source was independently reviewed on that date.
On 30 October 2026 we removed unsourced hang-time standards tables, invented outcome timelines and unsupported health claims across the site. We corrected the Guinness record figure on the community page. We also removed a mis-cited reference (Kirby 1981) that supported no claim.
Earlier versions of the dead hang standards page presented level bands and percentiles that the cited research did not support. They were removed. Earlier wording on the equipment page described a multi-week testing program and verified load tests. No records supported those claims, so the wording was removed. Earlier wording on the world record page described training and attempt details that public Guinness summaries did not substantiate. That wording was removed.
