How this record is judged
Longest verified hold wins. Every entry is a verified WDHC hang reviewed on video. Only adult (18+) athletes are listed here.
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. Wide stance. Shoulders live. 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. A round bar or hangboard does not count. Strict thumb-front / fingers-back pinches go on Upright Pinch Hold.
