[h=2]Supramaximal Weighted Hangs[/h]
I got this idea from Dante Trudel, creator of Dogg Crapp Training, and adapted it for my own purposes. Dante suggests strapping onto the bar and doing a heavily weighted, wide-grip pull-up hang for 90-120 seconds at the conclusion of a back workout to help stretch the fascia and induce hypertrophy in the lats.
There's research to suggest that prolonged weighted stretching may induce hypertrophy, and Dante's track record of producing behemoths certainly backs up his methods. However, that's not my primary goal with this movement.
I suggest doing the hang without straps and only holding it for 45 seconds. This is to increase task-specific grip strength and to get the body acquainted with heavier loads than you'd otherwise use for pull-ups, so when it comes time to perform the weights don't feel as heavy. It can also lead to some new muscle growth, but I suppose that's just gravy.
