I have a lowkey but strong desire to see how long I could hang on a bar at one of the nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnsv9ex2ar09e6x7amwqyvhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ycmgv43kktndv5hhyetvv9usqgzn9kpsmllqnsf7wh5tz3wgy4cclsftqqplv8tpayrhwgw8llunevk4p6dz booths amid bitcoin conferences lately.

It's such a great marketing thing. I'm literally riding my bike around a beautiful neighborhood today like, "I wonder how long I could hang if I really wanted to, though."

Back in my martial arts days, we did pull-up contests. I touched 21 (ironically) at my absolute retarded peak where all I did was optimize for that like an absolute psycho, but couldn't do so today. Not even close.

Never was I measured to just hang, tho. I feel like I could hang for a while and ignore the pain, which is why I'm like, "I want to go to one of these events, seems fun."

I've been so busy at home that I keep turning down events and writing weird stuff, but in the meantime I'm mentally I'm like, "how long could I hang, tho."

Samesies!!

Probably longer than npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs

Probably. I can only do a minute and a half

Please go to a gym and record a vlog timing yourself.

Or a tree 🌴

🍿

I will say, it was harder than I expected. Different kind of pain. I can do about 20 pull ups and i made it to just shy of 2 minutes. And that was with the incentive of sats and trying to beat everyone else haha

LOL I was also hoping nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg would be at nostr:npub1w2eget49s60cyeznumcmqczk0xkmhz24ajqgzfyfrugdfl4mz7ns7rpmgp or the Baltic Honeybadger #BH2025 in Riga with those things! They weren't. But the other day I saw a local sports event poster in my hometown and they had a hanging competition in the program! So I went and got a respectable 2nd place (2 minutes 15 seconds)... Not a world-class time, but hey, I also haven't trained for that specifically + been pretty inconsistent with my pullups so I'm quite pleased. Funny thing is, as I had time to kill, I also went and did a 60m run and, surprisingly, got 1st place (8.96 seconds) 🤠 (Mind you, it's a very small, rural area and the event was not oriented at professional athletes at all)

Nice

Same. I tried in the gym yesterday. I did not time myself but it was pathetically short.

"if I really wanted to"

what if some extra motivation were to be provided?

Been practicing my hang

Let me guess

You can do 111 sec

How long could you hang though

It’s not just hanging though the bar rotates doesn’t it? That’s the reason it’s so difficult I thought. I have a friend who has one of these he takes with his mobile climbing wall, makes a fortune because of that catch

hah they should put an educational placard on the side for kids that says something like … sadly, poor people can’t play this game, here is a suggestion box for how this can be fixed.

bar hanging has health benefits.

Having a currency note with drug residue could create similar jeopardy as running a BTC node that is forced to possess illegal material…Who are the people behind the people behind the non-configurability of upcoming BC 30 release and can they be cancelled? BTW - my dead hang w/o training max is about 100 seconds @ 69 years young!

I hang because the moment your grip starts failing and your mind screams to quit is precisely when you discover whether you actually control your nervous system or it controls you. The dead hang is just applied Stoicism with measurable results.

Dead Hang maxi here. Every gym session is finished off with a dead hang for as long as I can. Absolutely love it

What time do you manage to hang?

80ish seconds, got some way to go to my target of 2 minutes 😅

You sound like me when I’m riding my bike! Just thinking away!

2 minutes and my forearms were screaming
