The dead hang is the bar’s entry rung: take the bar, hang with arms long and body still, and the clock runs until the hang breaks. Time is your score, and building it is also the honest first step toward a strict pull-up.
No verified dead hang norms cover the general adult population: the charts of "good" hang times floating around cite nothing, so this site prints no percentile for the hang and no standards table either.
That makes this the one page on the site with no table at all. Printing somebody’s gym-lore chart here would be exactly the invented number the rest of the site exists to call out. The camera gives you a time, your history gives you the trend, and the trend is the standard.
No published dead hang norms we could verify cover the general adult population, so this hold gets no percentile and no standards table either. The gym-lore charts floating around cite nothing. Your time is the score: hold the bar longer than last time and the number is doing its job.
Next rung up: Pull-ups.
Nobody has published verified dead hang norms for the general adult population, so any chart of "good" hang times you have seen cites nothing. The honest benchmarks are your own: your first camera-verified hang is the baseline, and beating it is the score. As a practical waypoint, holding long enough to attempt one strict pull-up is the next rung.
The plank and pull-up pages print published military standards because those exist and can be cited. For the dead hang no body publishes a pass mark we could verify, and this site does not print numbers without a source. No source, no table.
Three things end the clock: letting go of the bar, swinging past the judge’s line, or bending the arms instead of hanging long. Short wobbles inside the grace window do not end the hold, but they add no time either.
