Homemade Hercules Hold Strongman Training

http://www.synergy-athletics.com - A quick clip from our workout, unfortunately there isn't any more video yet, the memory card was full. It is a fun and competitive way to train the grip. It was our first attempt, MUCH harder than I thought. Times ranged from 1-2 minutes of holding. Please let me know if you have any questions!

what does this actually work?

[bobolandi]

This should be called Samson training

congratulations you are able to stand still :)

Great idea to mix things up. Imbalance is good sometimes. Weaker muscles are forced to work harder to keep up. We like the Dinosaur training philosophy... if it's awkward and heavy, lift it!

Great idea! I need to get another tire matching one of my others. I have a 250# and 650#. would be odd to gry this with them.

I can see that leading to some imbalances in strength and grip. I mean that you can't maintain an even weight for each side when you hold it. One side is always going to weigh more/less than the other. Just be aware that it can happen, other than that it's a great idea so keep up the hard work.
