So after my wife Holly got back from the Ayurveda centre, and found out I did a 7 minute hang, her instant response was - Well I should be able to do at least 6 minutes, my grip strength is better than yours! Big ambition, atta girl. A year ago she could barely hold her own weight for 10 seconds passive, couldnt do the ape bars, and couldnt even initiate a chin up. She wanted to start taking her aerial circus skills (silks) to a higher level, so we got to work..... Since then she has trashed every male student in my classes in a variety of grip endurance tests. But today was a much bigger moment. She proceeded to hang for 5 minutes 7 seconds, mainly on 2 arms (much harder!), and she didnt finish there. She has never been able to do chin ups. until now. This single rep signifies A LOT of work, frustration, and attention to detail on her part. This makes me happier than any movement breakthrough Ive ever made for myself. Thank you to Ido and the team for all I learned at the strength development cert last year, It gave me MANY tools to help holly attack this (notice the pathway! so proud.). Although this video does not show her in full scapula elevation prior to the rep, this was her second attempt (we didnt video the first :/). So proud of you beautiful
