austinslater Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Travis bagent on another website said he does his close grip palms facing pullups with his wrists curled in at the top. Anyone else try these? They seem pretty tough but I can see why the would help for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinslater Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Here is Travis explaining it: When I do my pull-ups (hammer style) I postion the pegs in my hand (not grabing with my fingers), this forces my wrist to curl. Doing close grip half-rep pull-ups with your wrist curled is a tremdous hand and wrist workout.... I would guess that you are holding on to your opponents hand with your fingers, that is allowing your hand to open and then your wrist to flop... those pull-ups will also train your hand get comfortable holding pressure in your hand without grabing with fingers...

jad Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 These sound TOUGH. Is his website up yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hmm, definately need to do only half reps, when I pull up all the way it forces my wrists straight. I like palms away better than palms facing however. May half to work these into the program sometime and really give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 And by "program" I mean sporadic grip stuff whenever I feel like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
