This is a very interesting concept! As a competitive powerlifter, I love seeing folks exploring the parallels between sports science and instrumental practice. I’m not sure I agree about the necessity of reaching momentary muscular failure to build strength and endurance though. For muscular hypertrophy, absolutely, but this doesn’t seem to be the goal here. We tend to see strength athletes training sub-maximally for the most part, and endurance athletes usually employ a polarised approach. Data Driven Strength have great information on the former, while Steven Seiler’s work is must-read for the latter.
Hey man, I'll check out those references as it's an area I am keen on and kinda what my channel is about, having those discussions. I think you have a point that muscular failure may not be required to gain the benefits for guitar, more a feeling of, I don't want to continue and my hand and fingers are cramping up. That's definitely the level I go to for this kinda work. I do think there is more in this idea of specific exercise to benefit guitar playing. I know many players, me included, who have experienced a physical limit on their playing. A smart way through seems to be to train. Thanks for watching man, I really appreciate it. And thanks for connecting. That's what I wanted from this channel. Cheers ✌️
@@markodonnellguitar Hehe, on a serious note I've been doing the Dimebag one a few times a day and I'm already noticing a lot more strength, particularly in my pinky!
@MrMooooole that's awesome man! To be honest, I think if we do nothing but that Dimebag exercise, we would get results. Since doing the video I've looked at my own playing and reckon I use my left hand way more than perhaps others. I'm all about pull off on and slurs and slides etc. Might be why hand got tired, ha ha. Let me know how this progresses with you. ✌️

I get plenty of practise with my wrists outside of playing the guitar...
;)
Ha ha, not quite the practice I had in mind, but hey... If it works 😉✌️
