Question

Suppose i am hanging on the gym bar. The force on the bar is only my weight other than its own weight. Now if I try to pull up, as people do in gym, will the force on the bar increases? Since i am pulling up my weight, will the weight or force on the bar doubles?

Answer 1

Answer:

The dead hang is a good exercise to practice if you're training to do pullups from an overhead bar or just want to improve your upper body strength. Dead hangs also help stretch out and decompress the spine. Make sure you're doing dead hangs from a secure bar. Work your way up in duration to prevent injury.
