Yep planks are great! Bar hangs and modified pull ups have kept my back and shoulders loose so I can still play a good game of golf.

A year ago I gained a lot of weight. I didn't connect the dots but my right knee was bad. I couldn't walk up a step with my right knee. I had to kind of grab the rail and hop. A guy at work suggested it could be the added weight I put on from a sickness I had. The medicine I was taking made it hard to lose weight. Anyways, I lost 30 lbs recently and suddenly my knee doesn't hurt that bad anymore. Maybe now I can play pickelball. LOL

Dead hangs not only great for spinal decompression but also a great way to build grip strength.

Why does grip strength matter? Doctors did a study with thousands of participants and determined that it is a better indicator of longevity than blood pressure.

I started doing passive hangs (dead hangs) and active hangs, where you hold a position while raising up slightly. I couldn't believe the benefits, and now can't believe the benefits of daily pull ups.

You can practice saying the alphabet backwards.

Or maybe even forwards, depending.
