Brad Johnson's pinch grip


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I ran into this video of Brad Johnson today, I also saw a post on fb doing front lever on rafters + 100lb using wt vests! Pretty amazing, is Brad here on the grip board? Does anyone know what his background is? 

When I looked him up I also found this http://www.ironmind.com/articles/extreme-bodyweight-training/

very creative training, I 'm gonna try the gripper pullups for sure!

At one point he was posting here, he wrote the book for Ironmind, also he was a big poster on dragondoor forum, he must of been into kettlebells, perhaps one of their coaches.

Impressive shit.  Reminds me of the hard to comprehend vids ATG has been putting up lately.

There is something to be said about specificity...but 75lbs added is borderline re-donk-ulous.

Current Goal:  Train consistently...consistently.

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." - Stephen King

"Grip-ology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really...pressure...and time. That, and a big goddamn poster." - "Red"

"The most productive and the most difficult thing about grip training is waiting until your body is ready to train again." - me

"We're not here to put another tool in your tool box. We're here to clean out your garage." - Adam T. Glass

"Nearly all the satisfaction comes from battling and overcoming your opponent. Having them simply yield to you...leaves little to savor". - me

"Get disappointed go smash them tomorrow! What right do they have to make you feel like crap all week?" - Jason Steeves

"maybe you just lack natural awesomeness?"  - Brent Barbe

"We've got to preach the grip gospel."  - Jared Goguen

yea, it makes it super easy :P 

seriously though rafters and pinch setups differ, I think that if you are consistent with training at a specific width/set up you become better at it faster vs doing random stuff and wish for carryover, what Nate also mentioned about specificity.

This is what I've been working on recently, I really enjoy combining calisthenics/gymnastics and grip.
