Would be an interesting method of gauging progress by trying to decrease the number of resets while keeping under a certain time limit or something.
Also, are you doing it with KB or DB by the way?
I see grip works seems to be en vogue. I'm a fan of it but I'm wondering what you are all doing it for?
Just personal achievement or are you using it towards holding onto the bar on deadlift/pulling work?
That is what I'm doing. I didn't record for the first two because they were trial runs. I wanted to figure out the best way to approach this. Grip resets are a factor, but ultimately I'm aiming for the fastest time possible, without resorting to running. The other factor I'm working on is making the resets as quick as possible. I noticed I don't need long rests; I basically just need to literally reset my grip (for my palms) then get going again. I can take the forearm and trap pain all day, but eventually my fingers start to slip.
They're kettlebells. A pair of 60 lb'ers, for a total of 120 lbs.
Personally not only a new and interesting challenge, but i seem to be pretty good at it so i'm going to run with it as far as i can, lol.
Theres a lot to be said for never having to need straps, or never having a problem with heavy deadlifts and stuff. I've also found wrist strength has helped military and bench press quite a bit.
Even the trap strength developed and leg/back element would help your posterior chain. I see farmers walks as a great accessory exercise for deads and cleans.
how far did you go before you had to put the 120#'s down? thats the part you want to try and improve on the most.
what'll help your grip is hanging on a pullup bar. just hang there as long as you can. time those too.
