How this record is judged
Ranked by WDHC weighted score: 1 point per lb of added weight plus 1 point per second held (3 second minimum). Every entry is a verified WDHC hang reviewed on video. Only adult (18+) athletes are listed here.
Same grip as Upright Side Pinch Hold: two hands press the outside side faces of two square vertical posts (rack uprights or equal), palms facing each other. Fingers or palm may wrap onto the front face. Plus external load visible on camera (dip belt, vest or plates). Feet free. The hang ends when a hand slips, a foot touches, or a kip unloads the shoulders. Official time is the last full second before the break. Holds under 3 seconds do not score. Score = added weight + 1 point per second.
