Dead Hang — Muscles Worked & RPE Load Guide
Dead Hang targets Forearms & Grip as primary movers (1.0× set credit) alongside Lats (0.5× synergist credit). Leverage-dependent resistance arc across joint flexion.
17-Muscle Fractional Recruitment & Weekly MEV–MRV Landmarks
Each working set ≥ RPE 6 triggers fractional hard-set credit toward Renaissance Periodization / Schoenfeld weekly hypertrophy landmarks.
Hybrid Conditioning & Energy System Measurement
Dead Hang is tracked by time/distance rather than barbell load (measurement type: DURATION). Under STRUGGL's hybrid load engine, sessions contribute via Foster sRPE × Duration into EWMA ACWR and Interference Tax.
Strong, Hevy & French/English CSV Import Labels
STRUGGL automatically maps these exact workout-tracker strings to canonical Dead Hang volume and e1RM records on zero-login Wrapped CSV upload.
Taken-Rack Substitutes & Biomechanical Swaps
Ranked deterministically by weighted primary-muscle overlap inside the same measurement family.
