PULL FOR PERFECTION
A PRACTICAL APPLICATION AND INTRODUCTION OF UNCONVENTIONAL EQUIPMENT
THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE IRON GRIP
NO MORE SLITHER ON THE PULL UP! GRIP RIGHT, GRIP EASY!
UNCONVENTIONAL=FUNCTIONAL
Do you do a lot of pulling in your training? To be truly strong pulling is a must! Are you always using standard handles and bars
for your pulling? If you are you are missing out on a whole new world of results. Using methods that make your pulls more grip
dependent is very functional AKA real world AKA Unconventional.
UNCONVENTIONAL IMPLEMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS FOR GRIP DEPENDANT EXERCISES
Most of the time when people want to make an exercise grip dependent the first thing that they do is make the implement
thicker. You can use a thick bar, or those slip on thick grip devices to make the diameter a true challenge. Up the intensity on
Deadlift, Rows, Pull/Chin-Ups or any other pull.
In the above pictures I am using a device called Grip 4orce (TM), which I ordered on Amazon.com. https://www.amazon.com/ no
plug intended it’s just that these devices add to the difficulty and you’ve got it, rapidly improve grip!
GRIP THICK!
Then there are thick ropes for pull/chin-ups,
rope climbing, recline rowing, etc. The ones I
use for most things are 1.5 inches thickness, but
occasionally I will use my 2-inch rope. Heck you
could even do the strongman thing and pull a car
or heavy sled with a thick rope.
