Goal: Increase forearm power endurance through metabolic adaptation. This is a classic "repeater" session designed to create a moderate-to-high pump level.
1. Equipment & Grip
- Tool: 20mm edge (fingerboard or flat edge).
- Grip: Strictly use one grip type throughout the session (ideally the same grip used in your "Testing Session").
- Consistency: Do not switch between stronger and weaker grip types during the set.
2. Calculate Your Intensity
The Target: 50% of your Total Max Load.
Formula: (Bodyweight + Max Added Weight) ÷ 2
Example:
If you weigh 70kg and your max test added 30kg:
Total Capacity = 100kg.
50% Intensity = 50kg Total Load.
Result: You need to remove 20kg from your bodyweight using a pulley system.
3. The Workout Protocol
- Hang: 7 Seconds
- Rest: 3 Seconds
- Reps: 12 reps per set (Continuous alternating)
- Set Duration: Approx. 2 minutes
- Rest Between Sets: 4 Minutes
4. Adjustments
- Too Hard? If you fail before completing 12 reps, reduce the intensity (remove more weight).
- Too Easy? If you finish the set without feeling "pumped," increase the intensity.
Note: This session is best used at the beginning of a power endurance training phase.
