I am in all out learning mode at the moment.
I benched and did some pullups last sunday.
Did quite a lot of doubles with 110kg on the bench and lots of sets with one plate (20kg) on the pullups. Best set was one smooth set for 9 reps.
During the week as a highlight I did one set for 23 reps with bodyweight on my home pullup bar. This is pretty much a rep PR. But I guess I am fairly light at the moment.
Anyway... the ringtraining really pays off big times.
I think for a grappler the combinartion of some heavy and explosive stuff with weights and lots of this static gymnastics strength stuff should be a perfect training.
I always felt that the strentgh from the lifting helped me in grappling for the takedowns and in "dynmaic situations". But lots of times grappling is all about static pressure. And in those situations it is all about isometric contractions in the right muscles. So you need to be able to isometrically contract exactlly the muscles you want which requires good muscle controll.
And you train exactlly this when doing ringwork, backlever, handstand, L-hold and so on.
Well... I guess we will see once I make it back to grappling, which will happen once I have the time and the is pouch inflamtion free without me having to take antibiotics.
Which could be ayntime from the close future to never.
And now... back to my psychology books.
