How important is hanging?

How important is hanging? I’ve never done hanging because I don’t wanna risk injury. What’re the benefits and how much should you start with? Also how much length is gained from hanging?

Hanging is only as important as you make it to be. You can gain just fine without incorporating hanging into your routine. It can also be a great addition to compliment other exercises, as well as a beneficial tool to break through a plateau.

Benefits of hanging are the same as stretching. It's all about elongation, and time under tension. Hanging helps to stretch the ligaments, and has also been known to bulk up base girth.

I would advise starting with a very low weight if you aren't already doing some sort of intense stretching. Plenty start out with 1lb, and increase weight by the pound over time.

As far as how much can be gained through hanging... well, just like everything else in PE, it varies from person to person.

Hanging is a good form of gaining length But in my opinion it’s good to have a few different exercises or tools for length work to keep things moving and fun. Check out SRT to get some ideas and different ways to approach your goals. It also has two hanging routines that you may be interested in. Let us know what you think.
