I've been trying dead hang recently. Saw a YouTube video talking about its benefits, so I decided to give it a try. I've been doing it for 1 week now. Tried aiming to hang for 2 minutes but could only get to max 1m42s for now. Will report back maybe a month later in terms of strength or health improvements etc.
I'm curious to hear that follow up.

Muscular or disc issues? I had a pretty bad herniated disc almost two years ago. Had to walk with a cane for a couple weeks and didn't totally heal for a few months. I am very cautious now when I start to feel any pressing of the disc on my sciatic nerve. I will rest it, ice it, then heat it up and use the stretching pillow and do other stretches to try and nip it in the bud right away.

I don't know, I never got to the bottom of it. I'm guessing it's muscular but don't know for sure. It goes away when I do stretches regularly, but I've just been a lazy ass lately and haven't been doing enough stretches. It's playoff time with too many games to watch and follow, plus work had been pretty busy, you know the usual excuses for not taking care of the body.
