I have a lowkey but strong desire to see how long I could hang on a bar at one of the @primal 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."

If Lyn records a #vlog of herself hanging on a bar, I'll also do one.

LOL I was also hoping @primal would be at @BTCHEL 2026 ๐ซ๐ฎ 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) ๐ค (Mind you, it's a very small, rural area and the event was not oriented at professional athletes at all)


Let me guess
You can do 111 sec
The โhang for satsโ bar we did at BTC Prague was a massive hit.
Which event should we bring our setup to next?
