Since the original Add a dead-hang exercise thread that references Why there is no “dead hang exercise” in workout section has been closed, I am creating this thread to facilitate discussion as of August 2026.
I have since added an entry for adding to the Share Ideas site, as suggested by @seilogramp, to suggest adding a dead hang exercise.
The "Bar holds" exercise only targets forearms muscle group in the diagram shown in Garmin Connect
There is a "Dead-hang Bicep Curl" exercise, but this is hardly close to the actual Dead Hang.
A suspension pull up refers to TRX-assisted pull ups, which is its own thing, and not a dead hang.
In case anyone is confused what a Dead Hang is, it's like a pull up but you don't pull up. You just hang. For 30-60 seconds at a time. With many proven health benefits, you may look it up.
Dear Garmin,
Hope to see Dead Hangs added in a near future update (and hopefully before I've logged too many dead hang activities into a "wrong" exercise)
