Matt76 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I am on a quest to a 200lb RT pull. I am just wondering if anybody has any tips that would help me on that journey. I can supply the hard work just wanting some training advice. Thanks Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Matt!... are you reading my mind??... you must be psychic, because I just asked this very same question on the other forum. For those of you who don't know, Matt and I have a little contest going. We're trying to see who will be the first one of us to pull 200 pounds on the RT.

OldGuy Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Once a week heavy singles, always trying to add more weight. A few timed holds will help as well. No need for chalk with PVC just keep the hands and handle clean and dry with towels. Try to lift by straightening up rather than pulling the handle. Try to hold on and straighten the legs and back. If your wrist is strong try turning it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Bring up your pinch. I hadnt touched my rt in about 6 months and I hit a 10 pound pr. Good Luck! Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I do just as old guy said. Once a week I train w/ RT with max effort first few sets then do some holds-around 10 seconds a hold. I also use the Fat Bastard BB 2.5" handle to do get a different feel. Have been doing this and my PR has gone up significantly already.

cjcocn Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 (edited) Try to lift by straightening up rather than pulling the handle. Try to hold on and straighten the legs and back. This is the method that has helped me the most. This alone will add to your PR immediately.

Matt Van Weele Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Shawn what is your current PR on the the RT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedaykin01 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Check out the log that is being kept on GVT for the RT handle in the workouts forum on this site. Might be interesting to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
