Workout of the Day 6/23/09
21, 18, 15, 12, 9 reps each of the following:
Pull-ups
Kettlebell swings
Knees-to-elbows
Yes, more than good grip is needed for this one, but one thing is certain. No grip, no go. You're only as capable as your weakest link. And when faced a challenge like this workout, weak links are exposed quickly. The good news is that they improve along with everything else.
Your training should be transferrable to your sport, occupation, and life (pretty much covers everything.....). What's the point of being able to push, pull, throw, lift, etc. at your best only with the aid of straps, gloves, belts, or some other specialized tool?
'Hold on, I'll get that tree off of you as soon as I get my weight belt and lifting straps...have you seen my gloves?'
Okay, sometimes there's is a call for specialized training. Many sports require it. But, that's the point...specializing is specific. If your sport allows the aid...go for it! Just don't confuse it with fitness.
