Hanging from a bar. Builds grip strength and opens the shoulders and lats, both valuable for golfers.

Why it matters for golf
Grip is the last link between the body and the club. Hanging builds grip and forearm endurance while stretching the lats and shoulders, which helps golfers who struggle to get the arms up or across the body.
Coaching cues
- Full grip on the bar, arms long.
- Let the shoulders stretch but keep them under control.
- Breathe slow.
- Build time gradually.
Common faults
- Shrugging hard into the ears the entire hold.
- Swinging instead of hanging still.
