austinslater Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I have been talking with Merle Meeter who writes for Milo and I thought I would pass it along. one thing that Todd and some others are doing is a 1-arm wrist curl held in a slightly hooked position for time. Todd is up to 150-160x12-15 sec. Gives us something to shoot for and a comparison with someone who might be the best in the world at this time in the 198 class.

Killswitch213 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Isn't any wrist curl technically a hooked position? I'm not sure I understand what thats supposed to mean. I could start guessing, but I'll wait for further explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 I think he just holds it in the contracted position for time. I personally like to do reps on the wrist curl but will probably add some of these in. Todd is abviously doing something right after his recent showing with Brzenk. Hope this helps!

Killswitch213 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I see... that's basically the same thing as doing dumbell rows and curling and holding your wrist at the top of the concentric phase... or using cables to do the same type of thing to train a solid hook position... then you're not leaving your arm out of it... just my 2 cents....

Killswitch213 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I THINK he came out on top in 1 match.... John came back and destroyed him though... John ended up 1st place in both arms. Todd hutchings has a pretty good hook from what i've seen of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killswitch213 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I actually just saw the video, that was close... The thing is though, I don't think john was expecting that much competition out of his weight class, which is why he also pulled super heavy weights... pulling his own weight class, plus jumping up TWO weight classes and still placing 3rd in the supers... at 198lbs. That speaks for itself as far as I'm concerned.... But absolutely.. hutchings is getting ridiculous. I'm not taking anything away from him.

jad Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I assume it's a dumbell? Is this done with thumbs over or under the DB? Does it matter? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killswitch213 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 that wouldn't make a difference... the thumb has no effect on the wrist flexors... some people just find a false grip more comfortable. If you had the thumb over it would be better because there would be no restriction of ROM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermagnamon Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 too me, a wrist curl is a wrist curl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
