Ping Blekkboks Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Greetings. Whenever I do full deadhang, with external rotation of the arms of course, I get this extremely painful stretch in my armpits. When I make the hollow position, the stretch get even more extreme. Anyone have any ideas what this is? I'm not worried as it has been getting less and less painful as I have progressed with the deadhang, but I'm just curious. Thanks.

Boban Ilievski Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 it has been getting less and less painful as I have progressed with the deadhang There's you key. It takes time to get used to it. I remember I had something like that when I started doing german hangs, although not exactly in armpits, but more in my biceps. A painful stretch, I felt that my biceps would tear apart. So as soon as I started to feel the stretch I would let go. You just need to go slowly, start with just a couple of secounds - as soon as you feel pain let go. As you body gets familiar with it, and you get stronger & more flexible the pain will stop. I know my stretch pain dissapeared after a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.I hang for about a minute before each workout and then swing myself around on the rings to loosen up. This usually gets rid of the feeling. If you cant hang for a minute without pain you should build up to that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Blekkboks Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks guys. I'll just work my way through it. German hangs is also the same, I will start carefully with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
