JASON MONCE Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi community, At this moment, there's a funfair in my city with a "strongman" attraction : bar hanging Nothing fancy, the goal is to sustain a basic deadhang hold on a standard-size bar for :1'15 : earn 15€1'30 : earn 30€1'45 : earn 70€2'00 : earn 100€There's just one rule : use a pronated grip.Many people can do it but fairground people don't give money so there is a trick behind it : in fact, the bar is motorised and slowly spins on its axis and forces wrist extension I haven't tried yet but a lot of guys did, they all failed except one, he holded for 1'15I think it's possible if we use a false grip and if we keep maintaining it but what would be the best protocol to train for it without that motorised bar ?

Jan Reipert Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 use a wrist roller, hold it over your head. this is as close as you can get. but... be careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Ravn Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Are you allowed to reset your grip? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Maybe try hanging a dowel on a pair of straps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klemen Bobnar Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Use a slippery bar(metal with sweat seems to work, otherwise use some kind of lubricant), then adjust your grip one hand at a time. Enjoy your two minutes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Stangerup Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm doing my bar hanging work from a bar that can rotate freely. This changes the focus a bit, since you can't rely on friction and instead have to grip the bar strongly. However, I find that it is quite similar to wrist controlling in grappling.
