HI Kevin,
no I don't just strand pull. I was wondering if anyone had the book
mentioned & whether it was worth adding to my library.
That was some hardcore mace swinging mate, I was impressed, that kind
of leverage shows you've got some strength overcoming those forces
when you swing something like that. For those who've not tried any

Hey bro! A friend of mine got one to work with me on strand pulling. Its
pretty good. If you plan on making your entire workout but strand pulling
i'd say definately go for it! I work on just 2 pulls the front pull and back
press, and I am almost able to get a full front pull out of the 3 blue
strands. Strand pulling has really helped me in my macebell swinging. I just

Hi Gery,
I've not gone to a strand pulling contest. Last year the main
contests I went to (that I wasn't running) were bodybuilding events as
I was assisting &/or supporting a guy I know who competes. To be
honest the strand pulling events look like pretty small & informal.
When I first joined I thought they'd be more formal & organised. I'd

Man, I gotta pull together a group in Hungary too and then we're going to
run by the name of MHSA (Mighty Hungarian Strandpullers Association) :D
No, seriously this form of training seems to be flourishing again, so it
would be a pretty good idea to extend ISSA to other countries.

By the way Pete, can you give a little insight on how a competition goes ?

Well,
I'm in the UK, but I don't see why there shouldn't be somewhere in the
US that does hold contests. Either another group or maybe a US
chapter of the same organisation? The main issue would be the name,
obviously ISSA is the 'International Sports Sciences Association' (I
should know as I'm one of their few UK trainers :-), so maybe it'd

Why not create an American version?

Hi,

Does anyone know about any official strand-pulling organization? Do
they still organize strand-pulling competitions?

Please let me know if you have any info on this.

Appreciate your reply,
Gergely

The 20 reps for 5 ets program and then add a strand is a GREAT idea. Thank
you very much! Also, thank you for the reg park forum.

My goal is strength endurance right now, not mass. I will check out the Iron
Mind chest expander. I have the one from life line usa, the 3 blue cords at
90-100lbs each, I can almost do a full 3 cord pull with some movements. I
want more of the wiry/tendon strength. I use very abberviated programs and

I'd say you can't decide reps until you've set goals. High reps will
target your muscular endurance, you'll be able to work at 50-70% of
your max for a long duration. You'll mainly be working the slow
twitch fibres, so (unless you're genetically quite lucky) you won't
really gain much mass, but develop that sinewy sort of look, sort of

I would say to do 5 reps for 3 sets per exercise, and work up to 20
reps for 5 sets, and then add a strand and go back down to the 5 reps.
