Hold training
Hi
Could someone please suggest a training routine i could do daily with my pistol at home to improve my hold/grouping?
I'm thinking along the lines of hold for x secs, rest for x secs, repeat x times......
Along with dry firing/Scatt training.
Thanks!

Re: Hold training
Uwe Knapp has some videos on YouTube with 10 second,20second and 30 second holding exercises

He also has a great warm up video on there as well
Hope they help

Re: Hold training
Well, hopefully I am not hijacking your topic too much Thingstodotoday, with perhaps an unwanted direction.
Great, those videos Glenn! I think mainly good for people with already a lot of strength, or not having a dry fire function.
In my case, just dry fire also improves strength and only with this, I already have to prevent overtraining resulting in a restless/nervous feeling arm the following day when there is some real training/shooting to do. The weight of the pistol does count I think (1200 g in my case).
I was hoping for advices to improve wrist power, for the wrist lock (as an answer for Thingstodotoday), but this could be due to a problem with my native language. There are really some great advices on these Targettalk forums. Thanks to those I know what to feel and how to lock. Thinking about locking (applying force is how I like to think about it) does not really improve my shooting on the short term I think. Is this wrist lock something you will obtain automatically by just shooting enough (and with dry fire or the power trainings mentioned above)? I am sure the wrist strength will grow only by shooting.
Is this applying force fase something you need to go through (focus on it during training) to make it part of the muscle memory (for when it comes to a match)?
Are there good options for wrist lock training?

Re: Hold training
The training (I do not remember the source, some ISSF manual) I _sometimes_ use (not regularly, as it "breaks" the normal process):
15s hold + 15s rest 25 times, 5 minutes rest
20s hold + 20s rest 15 times, 5 minutes rest
25s hold + 25s rest, 10 times.
You can use any interval training app for his, I use "Timer Plus - Workouts Timer"
15s hold + 15s rest 25 times, 5 minutes rest
20s hold + 20s rest 15 times, 5 minutes rest
25s hold + 25s rest, 10 times.
