Post-Conditioning Pulling!!
-
FINALLY!! Some lifting! This week has been so busy, I just couldn’t squeeze a lift in without exceeding life MRV. I just had too much going on. I can and have often done 2-a-days, I’d rather just be done in the morning with everything, work and relax on the tail end of the day.
-
At any rate, I go back on my beloved Hammer Strength ISO-Row. I love this thing because I can pull heavy without axial fatigue from bent rowing which I did religiously for over 2 decades. The other thing with these is that, other than maybe Zercher lifts, almost nothing transfers better to grappling than heavy, explosive pulls combined with a massive gas tank for repeated efforts.
-
Next, I do Wide-Grip Lat Pulldowns, another mainstay. Why pulldowns instead of pull-ups? I did pull-ups for decades. I think a lot of people are emotionally attached to pull-ups for lats the same as people are attached to running for cardio, and don’t entertain the thought of an equivalent or even marginally superior option. I prefer not only the force curve, but how I can almost entirely disconnect my arms and just pull entirely with my lats. With pull-ups for me there’s ALWAYS a lot of arms involved and, that being the case, I prefer chins to wide grip, supinated pull-ups. Instead, almost 30 years deep, I’d rather do these. I admit, it’s an acquired taste if you’re a pull-up junkie 🤷🏿‍♂️😁
-
And with that, a quick 10 sets for minimum effective volume (MEV) with a vertical and horizontal pull and I’m done! Time for a shake, work, laundry and packing!

People are counting on you so take care of yourself 🤙🏿
