Forearm

One Arm Hang with gym rings

The one-arm hang is an advanced exercise for strengthening grip strength. Compared to the classic hang with two hands, it demands significantly more forearm strength, as the entire body is supported by just one arm. This exercise not only improves grip strength but also strengthens the shoulder muscles, which play a key role in balancing the body. The one-arm hang is an excellent preparation for more complex exercises like the one-arm pull-up and can be performed in various positions, such as active or passive hanging, to target different muscle groups.
