We explore the German hang, an impressive movement that requires significant shoulder mobility and strength. Dr. Hannah Sadowsky walks us through the prerequisites, proper progression, and best practices for this advanced skill. We discuss how to prepare your shoulders through dips and stretches, progress from feet-supported positions to full hangs, and understand the importance of hip extension. We also demonstrate a helpful warmup using a stick to prepare your tissues and show how the German hang fits into the skin the cat progression.
