The oldest person to hold the dead hang position (female) is 90 years 231 days, and was achieved by Ann Crile Esselstyn (USA, b. 18 July 1935) in Pepper Pike, Ohio, USA, on 6 March 2026.
Ann pursued this record to inspire people of all ages—especially older adults—to maintain strength training and functional movement throughout life.
She hopes to demonstrate that age does not define capability and that continued movement is possible at every stage of life.
