This was one of my favorite workouts. Bent presses, turkish get ups and good ol' fashioned pullups.

  • Looking strong! Great!

    My impression is that these excercises will also tend to restrict overal muscle speed. Can you comment on that? Is that the case?

    Jobbe

  • Muscle speed? As in the speed a muscle can generate force? This is a combination of the ability of the central nervous system to send a signal to the fibers desired, having a clear path for those signals (no damage in the path), and having the fibers themselves in a healthy state to be able to be fired (not already tensed, or perhaps damaged).

    With that in mind, what would be special about these exercise that would restrict speed?

  • Sorry, my english is not that fluent. What I wondered is what you do, of if you do anything to complement for loss of movement speed. For example, I've been training clubbell and kettlebell for 6 months now, and notice I am a lot slower in movement, running up stairs, or (in my case) general punches in martial arts. Do you compensate for that in this type of training?

  • Interesting. As much as I love clubs and kettlebells, the tools themselves do not have an automatic speed component (despite what so much of the hype about them says). BUT there are movements that can be done FAST that might get your central nervous system to react quicker. In fact, we use clubs and kettlebells more for rotation, flow and coordination than speed, and refer instead to barbells (particulalrly olympic lifts and squats) for speed work, or maybe good ol' fashioned bodyweight work.

  • But i should mention that there are some speed-specific exercises that we'll use with clubs and kettlebells as well. So what would be interesting is to see what you are currently doing with clubs and KBs and see if they are truly the culprit (could be many other factors as well).

  • At 4:44 you scared the crap out of poor Jack, heh. Anyways, again, I love your old-time lifts. I myself got interested not too long ago into reviving them myself. Keep it up!!

  • Jack's getting pretty darn good at getting out of the way.
