@MarkLazerus @ByScottPowers His intentions are good! But Chicago is just not a playoff team in the next two years. This is an unintended nostalgia act.

The most underrated exercise on the planet is the Bar Hang.

But 99% of people don't even do them.

Here are 4 powerful reasons to do bar hangs every day:

1. They improve your posture

Don't want to look like a croissant? Bar hangs help strengthen & mobilize your upper body.

They also provide a constant stretch on the shoulders, back arms & lats.

This helps reverse upper body posture defects that come from sitting for too long.

2. They improve your strength

Your weight is supported first by the grip of your hand.

A good grip improves your performance across all exercises like the pull-up, rows, deadlifts...pretty much any activity requiring a grip.

3. They build stronger shoulders

Bar hangs can improve mobility, and strengthen the shoulders & lats while reducing shoulder pain.

They stretch the brachial muscles while strengthening the supraspinatus tendon, which is responsible for shoulder strength & endurance.

4. They may help you live longer

Grip strength can be a biomarker for your inner age & determines your mobility & strength as you get older.

In some studies, decreased grip strength is associated with accelerated biological age.

There are 2 ways to do bar hangs:

The first is a passive hang (video)

Take an overhand grip. Let shoulders & lats relax.

Your body should sink with your shoulders touching your ears.

Hang there with feet slightly forward, core braced & let your weight passively stretch your shoulders, lats, & back.

The second is an active hang.

Start in a passive hang.

Retract your shoulder blades down and away from your ears. Stop retracting when your ears reach your elbows. Hold for as long as you can.

This puts more emphasis on the muscles in your shoulders and back.

If you're a beginner aim for 10 seconds to start.

Work your way up to one minute and eventually 2 minutes at a time.

As long as you're not sore you can do these daily.

If you can't hang from a bar you can step on a box at first to help support your weight.

Another way is to attach a resistance band to the bar putting while putting your feet on it.

Bar hangs are one of the most underrated exercises on the planet especially if you work at a desk.

Add these to your daily workouts and experience the benefits.

This 4 minute lower back drill will change your life.

It's estimated that 80% of people in the western world will experience back problems.

The causes of low back pain can be multifactorial but a good number of them are due to having a weak core and a weak set of glutes.

Let's fix that.

This 4 minute drill was designed to strengthen the core and glutes in a safe way.

It involves the McGill Big 3 and the body weight hip thrust.

If you suffer from low back pain do these on a daily basis. You might change your life as a result.

Woke up thinking how the Leafs’ strong defensive play and systems propped up a career backup and duped the Oilers into giving him a 5 year, 25 million dollar contract.

Since the beginning of last season, Auston Matthews has 91 goals in 114 regular-season games.

And that's insane.
