TOWLIES

[Towlies]

Hi, I got an invitation from you guys off youtube. I've been doing weights for the last 6 years and recently started experimenting with an exercise I created calld "Towlies". I'm interested in reducing weights to once a week and focusing on doing bodyweight work.
Here is a movie of towlies in action:

Towlies are really hard, you guys should try em! Just make sure your towels are tied tightly!

We call them towl pullups here , I tried them there VERY hard on the grip , there a good way to get a one armed deadhang , some people can do it one armed too , although the friction and width of the towel amke big factors on it

Do you have any movies of you guys doing towlies?

I don't have any movies unfortunately, but I have tried it.

Are there other benefits besides wrist strength?

normal pullups , only you need more strength to grip it .
