beastmaker advice
December 03, 2010, 04:19:00 pm
when I train with the beast, doing pull ups, one arm dead hangs or two arms dead hangs, I usually start - after the warm up - from a hold and go through as many different hold types as I can. I have developed a sequence of holds that I think is good, trying no to work the same fingers too many sets in a row.
anyway after a few reps on the given hold, skin can be an issue, and also a progressive fatigue of the fingers (d'oh).
so here is the question:
- is it better to work the same hold for the given number of sets, regardless of skin problems and progressive fatigue; or
- to work the holds one after the other in a sequence for one single set and then start all over from the beginning?

obviously the amount of work is the same. I was wondering if it makes any difference.
I hope I made it clear. just to be sure, the two options are:
- 35 (6 sets)
- 45 (6 sets)
- front 2 (6 sets)
- mid 2 (6 sets)
- back 2 (6 sets);
or
- 35, 45, front 2, mid 2, back 2 (1 set); then all over for another 5 sets.

thanks.

i found doing front middle back one set worked best for me. same on mono's middle ring index one set. found skin wasn't an issue this way otherwise i'd get flappers on ring fingers without fail, must point out this was in warm conditions tho
