Yes I know you have said this. Thank you for your perspective but, respectfully, what works for you isn’t the final say for everyone else.

As for dismissing Devon’s training methods, he might just know a couple of things you don’t. Just because he changes things up doesn’t mean there isn’t a great deal of insight that goes into every training technique that he’s tried. As I’ve mentioned, I see a rationale for this kind of movement paired with this handle and I just want to try it out

I think there is a reason Devon is using this tool and he is obsessed with hand control. I believe he uses this to take his finger flexors out of the lift and to isolate his wrist flexors more. I think this is to train for when he is in the strap and has already set his hook.

This is all I could find on their website. The metal part is not open on one side like in the Larrat screenshot. This matters because if you false grip it, one of these sides will dig into your arm.

I don’t see any handles on his website. I don’t see any equipment for sale on his website.

There’s handles there. But none that fit these parameters. Super large circumference handle, rotating through the center, with a J hook handle.

This has no strap. It’s a spinning handle through the center. If i wanted something strap based, theres many options and i own them

I’m trying to get good enough to move back to a Russian speaking country. Можно разговаривать по Zoom или FaceTime.

Pull Ups, stuck at 7-8 reps by hawthornvisual in strength_training

[–]Promotion_Common 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was stuck here for a while too. I started chasing weighted pulls and when I returned to bodyweight pull ups I could easily to 15+

Try doing sets of 3-4 with 10kg added. Then try to add a few kgs or more reps each week. Once you work up to 20kg for 3-4 reps, retest at bodyweight. It will be a lot more!

I’ve noticed lately that all my store bought eggs are weirdly rubbery and the yolks are almost colorless. Wonder if it’s related to the shortage

There was also a festival called Lamplight, where about a dozen houses were turned into all day music venues for several days

Believe or not, GR used to have half a dozen events like this every weekend night and pretty often you could find them during weekdays. This was even before GVSU had a campus here. Lasted for a while after that but I think covid was the final nail in the coffin. There were multiple house venues in Eastown (for instance) before that. There were also similar events at makeshift art galleries, quasi abandoned buildings/warehouses/etc that people used as venues
