verdigriz Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Not gonna name numbers but how taxing is the vbar? I went away for xmas for 15 days and put 13kg on my pb. Tried another session a few days later and I wasnt even lifting my old pb! Was sick for a few days and left training for a week, came back and added almost 10kg to my last pb! Tonight, 2 days later, hands feeling okish, cant even lift 110kg off the ground either hand.... It seems like Steve G said, for me anyway, a week to 10 days between vbar sessions is the wayto go. It has to be remembered ive only had a vbar since the start of december so im sure the big leaps in progress will slow, but even so, I am gobsmacked how weak I am a few days later in the vbar after a vbar session...is this the norm? Any tips would be helpful as ive got a comp in a month and kiwis love beating aussies...spice Brendan the kiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 How much work do you do on it in a session? I think it varies by person, or because I use the 2" because I train with it twice a week and I feel fine the day after, or at the most two days later.

bencrush Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Depends on if you tear your skin I guess. When I was training it pretty often I was ready to go the next day but usually didn't pull more than 3 times a week at most. For some guys that strength stays around for a long time with little to no training on it. I pulled 335 with both hands on the 1" vbar after not touching it for probably 3 months at that point and had maybe 3 or 4 previous workouts the previous 12 months with it. So it's possible to hold on to that strength for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
