Best form for hanging bar work (dead hangs, pull up) to prevent hand /finger numbness
I’m getting numbness in fingers/palm (like carpal tunnel syndrome) with hanging bar work (deadhang, reverse pull up, etc):
My plan was to take some time off and wear a wrist brace at night.
But- I wanted to make sure my form is right. I can’t really take a pic right now as I’m injured and don’t want to aggravate it. I did try to watch some videos and read some posts but wanted some confirmation. I was wearing leather palm gloves with fingers exposed.
Anyone else deal with this? How did you solve?
What form should I use? I watched a video by ripe toe guy on YT: bar should goat base of fingers? Or should I had knuckles up toward ceiling (but this would compress carpal tunnel)? Bring my elbows back to back pockets?
Any other tips? Or solution to numbness? I used to do a lot of these in my 20s (now 40s) and never had a problem.
