In this video Dave has given some slightly different advice on hangbording for the "non elites". Two points which were very new to me and different to pretty much all the other advice i've seen and read. 

For non elites
- isometric gains can be made even with comparatively low loads as long as they are taken to failure. Therefore hanging from a bigger edge to failure will still elicit strength gains. 
- Even one hang will elicit strength gains.  So rather than doing 3 hangs in a training session you could do 1 hang every day (more or less) (this would still require a good warm up?) 

If these are true then it would mean a reduced risk of injury using these methods.  Did I get this right ?

In reply to Inhambane:

Yes, Dave Macleod does seem to have some different takes on fingerboarding for strength than others. I think he has probably looked at the research, so I suspect he is worth listening to.
