One Handed Hang

Other Lats

The One Handed Hang is a stretching movement that targets your lats. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the One Handed Hang

  1. Grip a pull-up bar with one hand and let your body hang freely at full arm's length.
  2. Keep your shoulder active—slightly depress and pack it rather than letting it shrug up.
  3. Breathe steadily and relax the muscles you are not using to maximize the lat stretch.
  4. Limit hang duration to what your grip and shoulder can handle safely; build time gradually.
