Active to passive hanging improves shoulder resilience, grip strength, and comfort in overhead positions. Starting from a relaxed hang allows the body to lengthen naturally before transitioning into an active hang driven by scapular engagement—without bending the elbows. Move slowly between passive and active phases, holding each for several seconds. Avoid swinging, adjust duration if the shoulders or elbows feel irritated, and use chalk or grip support as needed. This practice builds awareness and tolerance through the shoulders while reinforcing clean, controlled movement patterns.
