Pull Ups & Isometrics

Welcome to my world of Grappling, Strength, Speed & Power

I’ve been on the site for a decade, reading & assimilating knowledge through articles, and I used to log here as well. But as I can’t remember my previous account details I signed up and made a new profile. Nothing’s changed though, still doing the same shit trying to accomplish the same goal - Getting as strong and explosive as humanly possible without adding weight.

Program Breakdown:
Primary work is dedicated to explosive power through the use of contrast training, with the exception of vertical press, which consists of mostly stabilization work and no explosive movements. I’m using a pull, push, quad dominant, posterior chain, core, additional explosive movements & vertical press set up with a 2:1 work ratio for pull, qd, pc & core and a 3:1 & 3:2 work ratio for cleans.
Every category has at least three sub-category’s that consists of at least three different exercises and most exercises have more than one set up.
The program has 12 waves for explosive work, 12 waves for repeated work and finishes off with a round of isometrics. The first three waves of each method consists of 3 reps whereas the next three consists of 5. The remaining 6 waves are almost identical to the previous waves but the order of the contrast is reversed.
The difference between explosive and repeated method is the use of the stretch reflex with the latter, and as such explosive work has small rest periods between each repetition to let the elastic energy dissipate before the next explosion is initiated.

Secondary work is dedicated to bulletproofing, grip & movement specific exercises.

Primary work is very much cut in stone and both exercise selection, set, reps & progression is already done, whereas secondary work isn’t. As such secondary work is built on how my body feels. This doesn’t mean that secondary work is less important, on the contrary.

I’ll be using this first log entry to upload various videos

  • First log updated with video of today’s dead’s & T-Ball rotations

That stick grip deadlift looks pretty tough. I might try that with an old gi, getting the bar wrapped in the armpit of the gi and pinching the sleeve and body of the gi together.

They are pretty tough but good for building nogi grip strength
on a side note they also have the added benefit of keeping your humurus in a neutral position which leads to better scapula control and movement.

You could just as easily use a couple of towels instead of a gi.

Have you used towels before? I’d think they would rip. Also, where do you get the sticks you’re using? Google is really failing me on this

  • Facepalm Death:

Yeah I’ve used towels on many occasions without any incidents. You do have to change the towels now and then if you have a pair designated for training though, as they will begin to tear at some point.
I put a video in the first log doing some towels dl’s

I’d recommend towels over a GI any day! Towels, fat grips, sticks, baseballs or gi grips all have the same purpose; Putting a sport specific element into the exercise, in this case to getting a stronger grip. So while were at it, we might as well make it hard as possible for the grip, as the total weight we’ll be able to pull will be sub par to a regular deadlift and as a result will the stress on the back.

Towels are harder to hold on to than a gi due to the rugged material kimono’s are made of.
I’d also point out that it’s much easier to carry a couple of towels than a pair of gi’s.

  • I’ve worked a lot of different variations and the hardest was the stick grips with a pair of slippery gloves. Sucked so much.

I’m not surprised that google can’t find any information on the stick’s as they are homemade. Easy to make though…
