What do you rest between pull up sets?
Welcome to the forum, Genghis Khan descendant ! How would you like it, medium rare?and eat that horse.
I've seen lot of variants of this... forwards, backwards, sideways, feet on instead of hands... but in the end, whenever I've done crawling work, 20-40 meters has been plenty before I need to stop and rest for a little bit. I've never felt like "gee, I wish I had a setup that would allow me to keep doing this for 10+ minutes straight without needing to make a turn".You have a treadmill right?
Try this for ‘fun’...
- Turn on the treadmill at a very slow walking pace
- Assume the position (push-up top)
- Hands on the treadmill deck, feet on the floor
- ‘Walk’ with your hands, keeping your body in plank
- Have fun
- Report back...

Hang board
Good day. Dialing the swings way down during heavy barbell week definitely helps.
I was feeling a little grumpy during hang board work because it's been such slow going... but then, at the end, I passed 30 seconds on a dead hang for the first time. Progress is slow, but it happens.
Oh, really? I figured having a "strong " grip would mean being able to hang on there for a couple minutes.30s is way long. Time for you to maybe be looking at harder variations...
Often times in climbing one needs to apply maximum force, but generally for only brief spurts. Although at times these must be repeated in rapid succession.
That may be well compensated with a killer's look and eyesight, so some will fear to approach at all ?The other goal, of course, is developing the bone-crushing handshake for my daughter's future boyfriends
Well... whenever my little girl would introduce a new boy to me, before I shook his hand or looked him in the eyes, I would turn to her and say...”does he know that I can crush coconuts in my bare hands?” That usually caused them to wet themselves a little...This makes a lot of sense for climbing... I can imagine where you need to make a brief, hard pull or whatever before you can get your feet set and rest your grip a little.
Where do you think OCR falls on that spectrum? The Spartan obstacles that have always given me the most problems seem like they require an extended amount of hanging - twister, olympus, multi-rig. So I've been previously thinking of the hangboard as an opportunity to work endurance. The little Metolius progression I've been following primary does 10-15s per "rep".
The other goal, of course, is developing the bone-crushing handshake for my daughter's future boyfriends. CoC max grip strength all the way.
Oh yes. All the injuries done with light weight.Lower weight is not necessarily "safer".
