Performing a proper regrip is essential during exercises like the lche to maintain a solid hold on the bar. The regrip technique involves sliding your hands around the bar to ensure a more secure grip, especially if you've noticed that your hands are starting to slip. This can happen if there's too much swinging or if the grip has loosened during the movement, which can lead to a loss of control during critical moments, such as executing a forward swing.
The ideal time for a regrip is during the backswing when athletes can afford a brief moment to adjust their grip without compromising their performance. At the apex of the swing, it's possible to let go and regrip effectively, ensuring that the hand moves to a position that allows for better control. Starting with small movements can help build confidence; as comfort increases, the regrip motions can be made larger, which naturally flows with the rhythm of the swing.
In summary, the regrip technique is vital for maintaining a secure hold during dynamic movements, especially where swinging is involved. Practicing this skill ensures that the grip remains strong and prevents the hands from peeling off the bar unexpectedly. Ultimately, this leads to better control over the performance and reduces the risk of falls or injuries resulting from a lack of grip strength.
Key points:
- A regrip is necessary for maintaining a solid grip during dynamic movements like the lche, especially when swinging.
- The optimal moment for a regrip is at the apex of the backswing, allowing for proper hand placement without losing control.
- Starting with small regrip movements can increase comfort and confidence, enabling more significant adjustments as skill improves.
Dead-Hang on a full height bar and start to generate swinging momentum by trying to get your hips to move forwards and backwards.
You must get your hips at a 45 degree angle to the ground on the forward and back swing. You can swing as much as you like until you get the angle.
On the apex (highest point) of the back swing, demonstrate a re-grip of the hand hold with both hands. This means you will need to let go of the bar for a second and the re-grip your hands for a more sturdy grip.
Repeat three times.
Kick out in front of you with your legs, trying to get them as high as possible. On the back swing, try to hook your feet back by bending your knees. Repeat this process to get your hips moving back and forth.
Your hands must be in a pronated grip.
