Detailed instructions for Overhead Arm Raises / Lat Hang coming soon.
For overhead arm raises, EMG supports certain prone patterns for lower-trap recruitment. For dead hangs, posture 'decompression' claims are mostly anecdotal.
Evidence Type: Clinical studies
Some EMG support for overhead patterns; dead-hang benefits remain largely nonclinical.
May improve shoulder mobility and posture appearance.
Overhead raises improve scapular upward rotation control. Dead hang provides plausible traction + lat/pec stretch + grip benefits, but clinical outcomes uncertain.
Avoid dead hangs (or modify) in shoulder instability, prior dislocation, significant impingement flare, or neuropathic symptoms. Start with partial support.
