Wrist Update: Right hand can close the #1 10x on a good day. Left hand...the torn wrist tendon makes me keep this to the Trainer or 0.5. I can close the #1 on the left several times but I get a very sharp wrist pain afterwards and there is lots of "clicking". My left wrist tendon tear (articular disc - wrist meniscus) is in the very center of the disc. It is not repairable via surgery but if I stretch and rest it, the flare ups and pain dies down. I have modified my workout and daily life as such to avoid wrist pain. I am focusing on longevity. I grease the groove with #1 or left turn #1 in my right hand. Will continue to use only the trainer for high reps on my left. Yes, it's imbalanced but I would rather avoid making the tear worse. The tendon tear has made it impossible for me to do underhanded pull ups without pain. Neutral grip pull ups feel the best. I do pull ups exclusively neutral grip or on rings. I have completely stopped BJJ in a gi as the grips cause incredible pain after drilling/grappling throughout the week. From September thru December, I was moping about and being depressed as I could barely do push ups without pain. I have since added activity slowly but surely. I will continue with the mindset of consistency. I've ceased the crazy workouts unless it's wrestling. Thanks! I have not given up on the OAC. I have just been sidetracked by this injury for the past few months. Starting the weighted pull ups from scratch, though I can do a single with 90 lbs for sure.

 

Weighted pull up program is (neutral grip, warm up, 3x5, do this twice a week)

- add 2.5 lbs a week

- deload every 4th week

- restart the cycle at 2.5 lbs higher than week 1

- repeat

Just found your log and am really astonished from that high volume pullup/pushup training. 

Any specific goal you're trying to archive? One arm chin up?

@manost12 Hey, I'm surprised people actually read this haha. I'm shooting for a one arm chin. I had a huge wrist tendon injury that set me back for close to half a year or so (horse threw me off). I'll feel good about doing more OAC specific exercises once I achieve 50% bodyweight attached x 5 reps. This will be about 87.5-90 lbs. I have a long way to go as you can see. 

 

As for current grip strength, I am very close to closing a GHP4 (RGC #90). I came within 1 mm two weeks ago. Will attempt again in a few more weeks.

You will be even more surprised when I tell you that I will follow this log now :)

Sorry about your injury, but thank God it's "just" your wrist and not any worse. From time to time I read horrible things about riding accidents. ( Don't want to make it small it's of course a bad and annoying injury)

I'm also training for oac but not as enthusiastic as you and trying the bodyweight only attempt. So I'm curious to follow this log and see the results you archive.

How were your pull-up stats before the accident?

@manost12  5'11 176-180 lbs depending on the day.  I was at 70x5, 90-95 for a single. Nothing impressive. Ten years ago, I was at 70%BW (120x1 at 170 bodyweight). At that strength, I was able to do a slow negative on my dominant arm and lock off at the top with either arm for 20 seconds. I am probably close to what I was at before the accident at this point. I don't use supinated grip anymore as it tends to aggravate my wrist (never got surgery). I decided to go the weighted pull up method until I hit a 66% bodyweight chin. I'll throw in some one arm work once I hit 60% but won't go full out. 

Which bodyweight method are you using? Hand on towel, finger assisted, archer chins, negatives? I'm curious to see your approach as well. What's your current progress to the OAC? It's pretty much been my dream since I was a kid haha. I think I need at least a year more before I build the base strength if I am being honest with myself.

Nice to see how the body remembers it's previous state and gets pretty fast back to that point.

I remember that additional strain on the wirst while chins as well. For me it was a mobility issue due to a lot of powerlifting back there. 

So your doing weighted pullups for training and chins for testing?

I'm currently doing 2-finger assisted as well as negatives. Both at a 3x3 rep scheme followed by high rep chins. Warming up with 3x5 pullups. But can't do really high effort at the moment cause of a thumb injury. It getting better but I still uses claw grip to release the strain on my thumb.

You see I'm not putting as much effort as you into it as my main focus lays on grip strength which routine follows right after. But yeah will see how far it goes. I too had better results years ago as I was doing a lot of gymnastics, especially at rings.

Sadly I currently have not that much time for training anymore due to my kids so I have to stick with short sessions in the evening.

This discussion definitely fires my motivation for oac so maybe I putting some more time in it in future :)

@manost12

Yep, used to powerlift, too. Most hip and shoulder pain have miraculously disappeared now that I stopped going after weightlifting numbers. My wrist pain comes from a torn articular disc (wrist meniscus - hole in the middle of it).

I do weighted neutral grip pull ups or weighted ring chins for training and I tend to do weighted ring chins for testing. 

It'd be really interesting to see how this progression goes for you once you're doing say, one index finger or one ring/pinky finger assisted reps. I'm very curious as I may move to that and/or towel assisted method once I'm stronger. 

Yeah I tend to do super short sessions in the morning or miniature workouts throughout the day. Gotta get it in however I can haha. How many times a week are you doing your method? Sounds like...2-3x? I want to see how where both methods take us...say end of 2018.

Maybe i will start a log too in future. Not sure how frequent i could post as i start a new job next week. 

I am currently doing this routine 3 times a week. Weekend off. As soon as my thumb is cured i will start up again with kettlebell so i will reduce bodyweight training to 2 times (KB + Grip, BW + Grip, OFF, KB + Grip, BW + Grip, WE OFF). But I think that will be definitly enough for OAC. I can imagine to reduce to 1 time oac (but still 2 time pullup) as further progressions but we will see. 

Yeah I heard that OAC will take time. But hopefully faster than a year. Not sure if I am that patient :unsure

I've been doing a lot of scapular retraction exercises to rehab the shoulder impingement as well as myofascial release with a lacrosse ball. Taking a break from anything that puts my hands overhead and pushing exercises for now. Lots of band pull aparts, external rotations, rows, hang from a bar, etc.

Deload period - I have been consistent with weighted pull ups from 2/3 - 4/16 (10 weeks before deload was needed due to shoulder impingement). I will deload 30 lbs from 70 lbs to 40 and restart 4x5 once impingement has been healed.

It can do less than half the reps as my right. Working through it! Hoping to close the #2 once I can close the #1 and #1.5 20 times in a row. :)

- PR for 100 swings for time, 150 swings for time, most KB swings done with 24kg in a row (Must've been the music and short time crunch)

DB Curls w 35 lb dumbbells - 3x8

I don't have time to stretch but will later tonight. Grip work is going well. I am working up to 3x12 with the #1 in my right hand. My left hand has a torn tendon so it can only do half as the right. I just double the reps on my right hand, for whatever I hit on the left. Weak hand always goes first. I do these gripper workouts at work at my desk every couple days. Bought a rope to hang in my backyard for extra bent arm strength work for the one arm chin. Straight arm strength and lever work tomorrow.

- Lats are wrecked from straight arm day yesterday. I will never make straight arm day before bent arm strength day. I did not realize I would perform so poorly. Will re-attempt 67.5 for 3x5 next session. I have done this weight a month ago for 4x5 so not sure why it was so hard. If I fail again, will keep attempting for a few more sessions before a deload. 

Body is tanked and need to go to work.

- I woke up too late to make it to the gym before work. Impromptu strength workout at home. First time doing the assistance method with a finger instead of a strap/towel. I'll probably do 7x3 next workout or do 10x2 with ring and pinkey finger. 

- Strap method feels superior to the finger assistance method though to be honest. I'll probably do both just to not miss out on gains haha.
