Rick Walker Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I trained Tuesday even though I was sick as heck. Decided to strap holds instead of my usuall COC routine. I warmed up, then used the #1 and 10 pounds. I held it for 20 seconds with each hand. My next set, I couldnt hold it for 3!!!!! I was burnt. Maybe it is a combination of this cold and doing a new exercise but they really kicked me. Is this common? Rick Walker :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest w7913 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I can't tell you if it's common since I'll be starting on sunday. I do know that you might want to pace yourself a bit if you are going to do many sets... I want to ask : how many time did you rest between those two sets, 1, 2, 3 minutes, more R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Was 20 seconds your max? If it was, I think it might be like doing a set of 20 rep squats. After doing 20 reps you wouldn't feel like doing any more, right? Since you're new to them, you probably need some time, like a few workouts, to break yourself in, just like changing your routine for anything else. I haven't been doing strapholds for very long but that's what I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
