How to perform it

  1. Grab onto a chinup bar with one hand, using a pronated grip. Keep your feet on the floor or a step. Allow the majority of your weight to hang from that hand, while keeping your feet on the ground. Hold for 10-20 seconds and switch sides.

Muscles worked

The One Handed Hang primarily targets your Lats, with support from your Biceps. You'll need other.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the One Handed Hang slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
