Bart Conner -gymnast hangs almost seven minutes from bar vs Oranguta   Message List

Re: [STREND] Bart Conner -gymnast hangs almost seven minutes from bar vs Orangutang

You can shake out one arm at a time as long as you don't let go of the bar,
touch the ground or get any assistance. The Two arm hang you have to pick one
grip and go with it, so if you are using an underhand grip or overhand grip,
neutral etc, you have to stay with that form the whole time. Good luck! I know
you will be close to the record. How much do you weigh?

What are the rules on releasing hands again to shake for a rest?

Almost seven minutes! Has to be the unofficial record until we get a
copy of the show. (he lost by the way)

Scroll down the page and you will see the information about Conner and
the chimp hanging from a bar.

This is pretty impressive, bet BART could hang almost 3 minutes from
one arm.

The only updates would be that don't worry about a formula, just go for total hang time, so you don't have to worry about weight classes. Although heavier...
