I like them for post activation potentiation (aka post tetanic potentiation) at the beginning of a workout. Doing a rep with a heavier choked gripper (where there is less of a skill component since you're avoiding the set) can help prime your CNS to work with lighter grippers and make them feel easier. I have never really used them for rep work, but I imagine that this would add a bit more uniformity, again because you are skipping the skill aspect of the set. However, if you were to rely heavily on choked reps for your working sets, you would likely need to incorporate some kind of dedicated setting work. It's a little give and take there.

TYVM for the well thought out response. I’m thinking that I might pick one up once I get to a slightly higher standard as I think they would be a good training stimulus for the more advanced grippers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil K Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 FLASK LH 2/ +35, 45, 55, 60 2 partials at +63 3x3/ +60 RH 2/ +35, 45, 50 +53/ 3, 3, 2 1-finger assist and hold LH +72.5/ 15s, +77.5, +80/ 10s RH +62.5/ 15s +65, +70/ 10s TTK 15/ 25, 27.5, 29.75 I’m starting to think that I need to overload my Flask training. The reason I’d say this is that I’m able to get 61/53 easy and then occasionally 65/56. Though I’m doing better than the beginning of the year. I can’t seemingly get enough volume to force adaptation. So, I’m leaning towards band deloaded flask holds with goal weights (70/62.5) at increasingly reduced rates of assistance based on height lifted ala Jedd Johnson and timed Flask holds which will be micro loaded and varied based on time. Have a great week! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
