Manna PE6

Morning. Getting super frustrated with Manna PE6, Negative Hanging Leg Lifts. I've been stuck at Step 7 (4 x 4 x 10s) for ages. The ONLY limiting factor for me in this is grip endurance. I can do 4 reps for the first set or two, then only manage 2 or 3 in the final two. I always do the full workout, but having to rest between reps the last two or three sets. Looking ahead at PE 7 & 8, I will fly by mastery on first pass...so core strength isn't my issue. Any suggestions for getting past this forearm limitation?

Thanks...and Merry Christmas to all GST coaches and athletes.

Hi Bill, well considering that grip strength in not the primary goal here you can use a couple of straps in order to finish only the last set.
