Hanging from a bar is what my old pull ups used to look like :)
"I AM fucking pulling up!"
I like hanging from a bar, it clicks my back and stuff. Problem is the only people with bars are gyms and schools and I'm not the kind of face you want hanging around your playground and gyms are spendy.
Wide grip hang I presume?
hippy-
Some public parks have bars... That's how I get them in at lunch time, anyway.
For hangs I think neutral grip would be ideal but obviously aren't an authority on these things.
Heard the other day that wide-grip, neutral and narrow don't make any difference to lat development if you're doing pull ups, so just stick to shoulder-width.

Hangings are great exercises, that’s one way to develop the strength needed in your hands and forearms often a point of weakness in pull ups and any thing with grips (deadlifts etc).
Wide grip hand is fine indeed since you are not pulling up it won’t make much of a diff.
One other thing you could do to develop back strength without having the force to do one pull up is to do negatives. They are very efficient (and boring I will admit that).

Ah, yeah that makes sense. Have you tried just hanging from a bar? That's supposedly amazing for your shoulders, unless you've been told not to, of course.
