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.
