Honored to be on the PCC Blog again today! 🙂 Grip Strength for Greater Triumphs is my 16th post over there, and it’s still always exciting. If you are visiting because of that post, then thank you very much for clicking though. There’s a video below that demonstrates a drill that I hinted about in the blog post. It’s a fun way to add a little bit extra grip and coordination challenge into a pull-up training session or a circuit.
The idea below is best if you’re already able to do 5-6 solid pull-ups as the “hard part” is more jumping up and negotiating the unusual grip, and switching around. You’ll also notice that the side NOT holding on to the towel will pull harder. If you’re working toward a one arm chin up, you can also add this drill into your training (using a chin up grip) and then over time grab the towel lower and lower with one hand. It gets much more difficult VERY quickly… we could even say exponentially more difficult if you have a longer towel!
