JoshW Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Trust me I wish I did 33 instead of 160 as I could barely brush my teeth when I went to sleep as I ached so much, worth it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Doing a lot of maintenance work lately as I have run out of chalk and am waiting for more to arrive. 100 thumb less pull ups in 15mins 10 rope pull ups #3 attempts-roughly around 10 attempts only just realised how hard this particular #3 is, feels in the high 150's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Strong pull ups Have you thought about getting some manus grips and doing pull ups with them or trying pull ups with other weird implements like ironmind hub or rolling thunder etc. Basically pull ups with more grip involvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Interesting that you ask..i recently brought fat gripz extreme with a handle diameters of 2.75" which I intend to use for pullups when they arrive Dang those will be hard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXmiWaM9WEc Manus did a pull up contest with the smaller version. The record was 32 reps with the regular size ones. Cannon power works sells the small size if you ever decide to get another pair but the big ones will work well also. I have the regular size ones but i still get a killer grip/forearm workout out of them when I use them. Post how many you can do with them though I'd be curious.

JoshW Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Grippers: Warmup - HG250 - 20 reps. PB AGAIN! Working sets: HG300 - overcrush HG350 - negative x3 As of today I am starting a sort of kta/high frequency training program for grippers. Over the past couple weeks I have been finding out what sort of training my body best likes and am now using this knowledge to help me come closer to my goal of shutting the HG350 and coc#3 within 2 months.
