rice on, rice off 🍚 💪🏾 #Repost @hoosierheights with @get_repost ・・・ greetings, fellow climbers…@deuceishiphop here after a brutal #moonboardmonday power endurance workout to show you how i’m cooling off from a quick, difficult session: with an exercise known as The Iron Wrist - the first in my series of exercises from my new antagonist workout. hahaha, i know it seems strange - playing around in a bucket of rice - but believe it or not, rice bucket training is actually an excellent way to build balance between your forearm muscles, primarily by strengthening the extensors. too often, climbers focus solely on their flexors, thus creating a massive muscular imbalance…and sadly, imbalance is a leading cause of athletic injury, which is why climbers see a lot of tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and even finger tendon injuries. exercising your opposing forearm muscles not only prevents a lot of these injuries, but it also improves your motor abilities by working on the relationships between muscle groups in your arms & hands. @littlechuyito found a superb rice bucket workout that @trainingbeta published to their website, and i’ve chosen to do the same workout for myself, only changing the name (i thought “Iron Wrist” made more sense). check out Training Beta’s spiel (and a video explaining the workout!) at this link: https://www.trainingbeta.com/way-iron-fist-forearm-training/ there’s more where this exercise came from, but that will have to wait until next week 😯 until then, rice on rice off, Climber-San, and crush on, fellow climbers! also, thank you for filming my child’s play, @megghanmarie 😊 📹 🍚 #moonboardmondays #climbing #rockclimbing #training #exercises #ricebucket #antagonist #muscletraining #motivationmonday #hoosierheights #indianapolis #indy #indiana #motivation #ohwow #soinspired #smartworkouts #trainingbeta #ricebuckets #waxonwaxoff (at Hoosier Heights Indianapolis)
