madknight Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Just to be clear, the hit power is the power to fight against someone hooking you right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian Kellersmann Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hi Joe, I'm doing the exercise with the band for some time, 1-2 years, now (with a kettlebell as weight). I feel, it is more for building up defensive strength to catch someones hit. Could you explain why you mention this as an exercise for an offensive hit? Thanks, Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico300zx Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I've not thought of this one, I think my grippers do this when I'm not around to get ready to fight me! Good stuff I'm going to try this exersize out. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Flo It can be both, either you catch the weight or you hit against the weight...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Flo, the exercise reminds me of a safer way to do the Johnny Walker, catching a db exercise to prepare for someone's hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works either way. Defensive more so, offensive? not as much. Helps either way. Hope this answers your question. Stay Strong!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 @Joe and Felix: thanks for your explanations, I understand. @Josh: I'm not familiar with Walker's training methods, but I know the exercise where you throw and catch a dumbbell from hand to hand. Ron Bath told me about this exercise, that he likes. You can train your explosive arm strength with this exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Very innovative - was wondering how you develop a good "hit" without being on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrojetred Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Interesting. I really think the band should go around the thumb, especially for toproll specific hit training. When I grip up with a novice, they usually coment on how I am crushing their thumb. Edited November 18, 2009 by Puller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightertrainer Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've tried hanging a dumbell in my wrist strap few days ago while my hand was holding a cable handle. I'd ended up ditching the dumbell and went with the 2 cable handles instead. As I hit it a bit violent the bell swing around and about to bump into my shin...no way! The way used was One cable handle attached to my wrist while one is in my hand and just change direction fast but in control mamnner. The cable machine have 2 arms that u can adjust to 2 different angles for both side hit and download. I can pronate with a side hit same time. U can decide how much load each of the 2 angles will give you. Yes, you can attach rubber band to it too. The idea is the same with what Joe's showed.

When I grip up with a novice, they usually coment on how I am crushing their thumb. Hi Puller! You are correct! The band would be better around the thumb. The only reason I didn't do it the video is because I used a PowerBand that's 1-1/2" wide and and 1/8" thick and with my short thumb I can't loop it over my thumb comfortably. I have another set-up that allows me to put my thumb through it and do the same exercise and others. Thanks for making this point. In top rolling and pronation exercises for arm wrestling the thumb rotates into your opponents palm. Having the cable looped over your thumb mimics this well.
