AWESOME exercise can help you in your Martial arts goals!
They say money makes the world go round.
But no amount is worth risking your life
for - especially in today's dangerous World. We heard how a postal worker
fought off TWO masked men. The men charged into the branch wielding a metal bar and demanding
cash.
The postmaster fought back and the men fled
empty handed. Although his BRAVE act prevented the robbery,
the outcome could have been VERY different. The number one priority when faced with an
attacker is your life.
Criminals are unpredictable, they WON'T think
twice about injuring or even killing another
person.Sadly this proved to be the case in South America
this month, when a Brit was shot dead for his camera.A woman and two men pursued him when he left a
taxi, before attacking the Brit while he was taking
photographs. He is thought to have handed over his camera but refused to give the gang a rucksack containing his valuables.
The local Police chief said: 'It appears Mr Kaya
was shot while putting up a fight.' The urge to fight back may be a strong one when your
hard - earned possessions are at risk, but valuables
CAN be replaced and your life can't.
Don't try to be a hero - the priority in ANY
violent situation is always to avoid and escape.
"Of the wide variety of upper body exercises
you can do, I have found nothing more demanding
than working on the pull up bar. It is one
exercise in the gym that sorts the men from
the boys.
It not only takes a lot of physical strength
to work on but also HUGE reserves of mental
toughness. In my opinion it is the king of upper
body exercises.
Working on pull ups and chin ups builds AWESOME
strength in the arms, shoulders, back and chest.
It also develops great functional power, which is
of benefit to all combat martial artists,
particularly the grapplers.
Pull ups and chin ups develop the correct muscles
and movements for the pulling power you need when
wrestling upright or on the floor.
It can also enhance the grip strength essential
for clinching or grappling.
I highly recommend a daily regime of pull up work
for those looking to increase their power and
strength for the combat arts, MMA, Wrestling,
Judo etc.
If you are not already doing them add to them to
your training now. You will be AMAZED how rapidly
your strength will increase.
Now, don't kid yourself that it is going to be
easy. Pull ups and their ilk will always be VERY
demanding and will BLOW your arms away very
quickly.
A steely resolve and grim determination will pay
dividends here. Just keep at it regularly."
Pull ups will BLOW your
arms away very quickly. Just look at those
Olympic gymnasts who pull themselves up on
the bars and rings!
What is the difference between a chin up and
a pull up? Some people use the same generic
term for both. In fact they are NOT the same
at all.
A pull up is performed with the backs of the
hands facing towards you and usually, but not
always, with a wide grip. This puts great
emphasis on the lats and rear deltoids.
The chin up is performed with palms facing
towards you and usually with a narrow grip for
emphasis on the biceps and bracialis. The
correct form for both is to do them from a
long arm grip with minimum body swing or sway.
Equal work should be on the concentric (going up)
and the eccentric (coming down) movements.
There are MANY challenging variations to the two
standard exercises just outlined. Here are some
of the variations:
1. One palm facing you, one palm facing away
2. Pull up behind the neck
3. One arm pull ups/chin ups
4. Pull ups using towels or ropes flung over the bar
5. Staggered three part pull up- i.e. pull up half
way, hold, all the way up, hold, lower to half way,
hold, lower to arms length
6. Sideways pull ups, bring your head either side
of the bar
For now practice and build up SLOWLY."
