I’ve stalled on my progress for the last couple of years. I usually mix them up from wide grip, meduim grips, reverse, parallel every workkout or or every 2-3 workouts.
I do anyhwere from 4-7 sets , depending on the number of reps I get. reps go anywhere from 8-3.
Idid them twice per week but am going to start doing therm once per week.
Any suggestions would be great [/quote]
Just a couple of suggestions:
1). Stop alternating your grip so often. Instead, pick one movement, concentrate on it for 6-12 wks., then change to another movement for 6-12wks., etc.
2). Cut them out altogether for 6-12 weeks, then add one movement back in to your routine.
3). Try accentuating the negative portion of the movement, getting assistance with the positive portion.
4). Rest longer between sets.
5). Use a more explosive/ballistic, but controlled, movement.
6). Do fewer sets, but add a little weight via a belt/chain, etc. For example, add 10lbs., and try to get 3x6 reps.
7). If your grip is giving out, try using wrist straps.
