Chin-up Hangs<\/strong><\/p>\n

This exercise is a great warmdown after your workout. It will help decompress the spine and stretch worked muscles, which will speed recovery. Best of all, it’s simple and relatively easy to do.<\/p>\n

1. Step up to or jump up to a pullup bar so that your are hanging with your hands about shoulder width apart. You can use a palm away or palm toward you grip. The palm away seems to give better stretching results.<\/p>\n

2. Relax your body as you hang straight down, arms extended.<\/p>\n

3. Hang about 10-15 seconds then, drop to the floor, relax and then, jump back onto the bar for the next repetition.<\/p>\n

Generally 3-4 reps is all that is needed for the warmdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
