Guillotine training device

[Kane Fan]

ok the Guillotine people often talk about being difficult to maintain
I cna't recall if it was here or another forum I post at but it's been said
so I was thinking could you construct something to practice the Guillotine on for your Endurance ?
like a 2x6 or something
it would be straight instead of curved like the guy you'd be grappling with but it might help build some Endurance what do you think

 

[Kane Fan]

I tried it
2x4 is easier to grip I don't think the 2x6 would work
but I think it can help so I am going to try doing Guillotine Holds with a 2x4
just hope I don't pull anything heh

im not really following what you are building..

i would think for a guillitone that a medicne ball would work ok.. just put the ball in the choke and try to 'pop' it

or do you mean to strengthen your back muscles?

Can you post some pics or email me what this looks like? I'm a huge fan of the guillotine, and anything to make it better.

yah I mean the back
tho everything gets worked with this
the beauty of it is I didn't build a damned thing
just get an 8' long 2x4
there that's yoru guillotine training device
lay on your back set it in your guard wrap your arm over it and boom
go for time
might want a towl or something on the legs I dont' really notice it but it really digs into my arm

sounds cool.

ill give it a try

 

[Kane Fan]

I thought it sounded too stimple
and that it couldn't work cus the board would be straight
but it seems to work the same muscles so it should be good

 

[Kane Fan]

anyone other then me try it yet?

Build a grappling dummy, then you can put all holds and locks on.

If you have to keep a guillitone choke going for a long time and it isn't sinking, you just don't have it on right. If you don't have it on right you can hold it forever and it ain't going to cause a tap.

Its a real basic choke, and seriously only low skilled people get caught and can't escape from them.

so has anyone tried the 2x4?
if so how did it work
