Holds, Reps Or Both For Pinch Block?

[Oneeyedjack]

Hi,

So for pinch block traing what is best to do, holds, reps or both. What makes a rep, continuous like doing say curls or actually placing the weight to the floor for a pause.

Would 3-5 reps be good or should higher reps be used also.

With pinch holds how long to hold. If say 10 - 15 seconds would that be like doing 5 reps at say 2-3 seconds a rep. so say take curls for 12 reps would be about 36-40 secs so would doing a hold for that time kinda equate to time under tension of doing 12 reps.

Should any heavy grip work, pinch, fat bar, wrist rolling etc be taken to muscular failure.

Would holds with fat bar be the same hold times as pinch holds.

Sorry for all the questions. Just still kinda confused on some of this.

Way too much thinking going on. The answer is Yes to all you questions. Everyone is different - what you need and what I need and what the next guy needs is all going to be different. You have to find your own way on all this stuff. Do one thing - keep a really good training log - see what happens. Six weeks later try something else - and so on. After a few cycles you'll begin to see trends from your workouts. Only then will you truly know what works for your body at this stage of your training life.

Yeah I know, not following advice I usually say, don't over think just do. Guess what throws me off is all the say bodybuilding workouts where it gives exercises, sets, reps, rest times etc and hard to find same type of thing with grip training.
