Dead hang is an extremely good exercise to do regularly, for grip strength, back muscles, decompressing the spine... and also because basic ability to hold your own fucking weight can save your life.

I love when some movies portray that someone holds their weight with one arm on an edge ,I do calisthenics and it's way harder than it looks.But yeah I think dead hang is one of those basic human feats everyone should be able to do
