JamesG Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Does anyone have any tips for improving sidepressure? This seems to be a real weakness of mine. J.P Getchell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The best way is to train the sidepressure at a table with a pulley, I think. An inner tube works good too and is cheap. Just fix it at the side of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinslater Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 do you have a link for a bullworker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killswitch213 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I have my table set up with surgical tubing, rather than a pulley... I have tubing coming diagonally, from the side, from the front, and fron above... it's a good time. I also have a bullworker... I found it in my dads basement years ago, and it's awesome for side pressure, you just have to get a feel for it, and what position to have it in. Do they even make them anymore??

Matt Brouse Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've played with Jump Stretch bands recently (the mini's obviously) and I loop them around the handle on our reverse hyper and use the pad as the...uh...pad and pull away. Did it once a week for about 4 weeks and now I have to back off seriously. Rough stuff but good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've been doing standing L curls, at least that's what I think they're called, going towards my centerline. I make sure I keep the elbow pinned to my side. I used a cable crossover with the adjustable pulley. I warm up with a set of 20 and then do triples for increasing weight each set. I haven't had chance to test this on the table yet but I think this is really helping my side pressure. It used to hurt when I would do side pressure against a door jamb and now I can blow into full force and get fatigued but my elbow and forearm feel great and I can also hit to the side on my bands without pain.

Is that a curl to your side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Did a google image search and got this http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view...;sigb=13pa2cmj7 Scroll down to internal rotator cuff. I would do mine with my forearm parallel to ground though, her's appears elevated and her elbow seems to come away from her side a little whereas I concentrate on keeping my pinned.

mightyjoe Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Be careful working your side pressure. It's easy to get injured. Working hand control and back pressure is more important IMO. Stay Strong!!! Mighty Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
