Pull and Grip Strength Progression Pt.3

Get our #1 movement progressions app - The GWOD Spot - now available in the iTunes (is.gd/GWODSpot__iOS), Google Play (is.gd/GWODSpot_Android), and Kindle (is.gd/GWODSpot_Kindle) App store!
Update: you can get the Fat Bar you see in this video at Rogue Fitness: is.gd/RogueFitnessGrip.
In this progression series, Coach Carl demonstrates different ways to build up pull and grip strength with different gear through multiple modalities.
In this video, Carl shows how to build grip strength by demonstrating Pull Ups on a Rogue Fat Bar Grip which forces you to develop a strong wrist position. Doing Pull Ups on the fat bar also allows you to once again practice finishing the pull in global extension for skill transfer, as you need just a bit more room to clear your chin over the bar.

Carl Paoli is a better teacher then Kelly Starret. He talks simply, gives just enough information, does not talk to fast or to slow. He is a perfect teacher.

i love the progression videos. my main issue is grip strength. I just started crossfitting. I am a big boy 300lbs. while I can do seated pull downs with 300lbs, I can't seem to be able to hang on that damn bar to do the kipping. its like my grip strength is garbage. really want to do pullups. can I do these progressions with a band or does it defeat the purpose of the movement?
