THIGHMASTERS!? how helpful are they for grappling?

[FUCKBOBBYDANNY]

I've seen pics of Cade Nelson at the Dud ranch w/ a thighmaster and wonder how helpful they can be for ur jits ? ..especially if u have been doing leg weight exercises previously ...do thighmasters work ur hip-flexors as well?

[ScottRay]

It's not a hip flexor exercise. It's a groin and hamstring exercise. Yes it is great stuff, wonderful sports specific workout for jujitsu.

Cade is an amazing grappler and a really cool dude. It always a pleasure to see him and train with him.

Lol weve been talking about these for a few weeks at 10pchi. Gus Calderone was looking for one and looking them up, he said they were about 100$ on ebay... but they have generic ones for sale around much cheaper

I just went to walmart and got a bouncy ball for $3. Works even better because you can apply more pressure. You can also use it for hamstring crushes.

Yeah they original thighmasters are old and rare. A generic abduction machine will do the same thing... You can squeeze a soft yoga ball or something for cheap...

If you cant find the machine in your gym, just look for five guys huddled together offering some woman a spot

abductor are actually your butt muscles (gluteus medius and minimus) and adductors are your inner thigh muscles (adductor brevus, longus, magnus, gracilus, ect). but i get what u mean.

but you should never avoid working the antagonist muscles (opposite muscles). if not you will creat muscle imbalances and could have back or sciatic problems for examples.

Eek, I always get those backwards... I do the same with Guantanamo and Alcatraz... I never know which is which ...
