'False-grip' (FG) Development
RE-/PREHAB: Fingers, wrists. forearms & elbows
•
45s
THE WHAT:
'False-grip' (FG) development is oriented around two connected capacities: mobility, and strength development. This is because the 'FG' is mechanically at its strongest when a toward 90° angle of wrist-flexion is available when gripping the rings (i.e. it is maximally "closed"), but at the same time the strength of the forearm flexors will ultimately be the limiting factor determining maximal-capacity.
For these reasons, these various hanging variations serve as auxiliary training for those purposes, whilst at the same time developing experience of holding the FG at different range of ELBOW-flexion.

False-grip (FG) ring-rows
THE WHAT:
A basic ring-row (HORIZONTAL pull) variation performed using a 'false-grip', for the purpose of its strength & conditioning either preparatory to, or in conjunction with, false-grip VERTICAL-pulling contexts.Note that a false-grip SHORTENS the distance required to pull the THUMBS-TO-C...

Elbow-range rotations (CKC)
THE WHAT:
A simple exploratory, self-diagnosis & developmental tool for conditioning the elbows & wrists through the full ranges of elbow flexion & extension and in all angles, facilitated by internal & external rotations. As the hands are fixed in space and the body moves, it is fundamentally a ... -
Isolated ring-curls & extensions
THE WHAT:
"Isolated" contexts, in that they move around a single hinge-joint (the elbow) with a bent-arm push or pull motion. Their practice is namely toward conditioning of the elbow-tendons (i.e. attachments of the biceps and triceps), meaning that it can also be used as part of a focused progr...
