This is our first test of the Max Hang in 2026; we last tested it on 12/3. We’ll be doing this one a few times this year as our grip strength benchmark, so keep track of that time! Work on keeping a hollow body position – pelvis tucked and ribcage packed down, feet slightly out in front. Maintain a depressed (pulled down) shoulder blade position for as long as possible. For Part 2, follow the decreasing rep scheme for Front Squats only. Progressive load up to ~90% (or about as heavy as you can do for a set of 2). Start with ~50-60% 1RM. Work from the racks! All other movements stay the same (in reps) each round.
