Interesting, thank you......

[Giles]

@Makarwise I'm used to people misinterpreting my "humour". Sorry.....

[Makarwise]

@Giles absolutely no worries. Text is an ass with humour

Life requires a calm and loving mind as well as a strong middle finger. Today I am working on the latter:

@RobeOfTheMagi

Haha cool. Just had a go. Managed 50kg plus the pin on first try.

I should of chalked up!

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Strong your middle finger is! With a great middle finger comes great responsibility - use it wisely.

[1WayTrip]

Strength wise I could do a lot more. It was the pain of it digging into my finger.

Need to build up that hard skin

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Yeah. And it’s quite a useless skill .

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Crimp lifting with something like this builds way better finger strength:

Hey @Giles the beast maker or other campus boards are perfect for conditioning fingers for climbing. Emil (from your video) is a unit! He's only about 80kg and he's a very serious contender in some strongmen grip competitions - way above his weight class.

However, it is important to start bodyweight exercise on small ledges only after some time of conditioning.

@RobeOfTheMagi

Seen that guy in some of Magnus Midtbø’s videos. Beast.

The thing is, in that vid, none of the training includes anything bodyweight....

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I was referring to your video Giles.

[Giles]

I know. He does no body weight hangs

[RobeOfTheMagi]

You're aware that these are his testicles for his testosterone and no extra weights, right?

[Giles]

I do. But the point is. The 60 day training programme him and his brother did, does zero body weight hangs. That part of the vid, is not part of the training.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Ah, yeah! You're right. I just assumed I knew what they were doing. Interesting approach!

One of the coolest sports science videos I've seen in a long time.
