Re: Struggling to do pull-ips

I've had tendonitis issues as well. Still do but not nearly so bad. Here are some things that have helped A LOT: 1. Do this wrist prep routine before each workout. This has helped not only my wrists but my elbows as well. Just go really easy for the warmup effect. Don't try to push a stretch - well...

Re: Fighter HT

You can, it will just depend on your recovery, as well as calorie intake. I’ve seen a few people run fighter HT while also completing their bjj, mma or boxing training and it hasn’t seemed to effect them negatively. Thank you Adski, Just wondering, on the days I have a bit more time and some left o...

Re: Struggling to do pull-ips

Agree with TBP! I remember Pavel Tsatsoulin says in one of his books: “Just do one pullup every time you are in the room where your pullup bar hangs”. That is exactly what I did years back.

Re: Struggling to do pull-ips

I have a decent garage gym set up, with squat rack, dumbbells, Olympic plates and bars with a pulley system which attaches to the rack. The rack also allows me to do dips and chins.
