Shrugging your shoulders: Your shoulders should be fully extended in order to maximise the engagement and stretch in your lats. Externally rotating your shoulders and pulling your shoulders up towards your ears might give your forearms some temporary relief but can equally strain the neck and upper back.

The article from T3 discusses the author's experience with incorporating a 60-second dead hang into their daily fitness routine for two weeks. Initially skeptical, the author found that this simple exercise, which involves hanging from a pull-up bar with arms fully extended, significantly improved their grip strength, shoulder stability, and overall upper body endurance. The dead hang not only served as an effective warm-up for other exercises but also helped in decompressing the spine, potentially reducing back pain. The author noted enhancements in their ability to perform pull-ups and other upper body exercises, attributing these improvements to the increased strength and stability gained from the dead hangs. Additionally, the exercise was described as surprisingly challenging, engaging various muscle groups, and providing a mental challenge as well, making it a comprehensive workout despite its simplicity.
