Then do this:

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.

Dug out my Captains of Crush grippers. I used to always keep one in my car to do while sat in traffic

Trying to keep the level up on my rowing machine. After storming through January, with a few days off in February, I managed to complete March with 26 days out of 31.
Weight has steadied at 92kgs on average, still aiming for under 90. My posture has improved considerably, and I feel way better. I hope maintain that throughout the year!

Lumbar spondylosis prevents me from doing squats, so this will have to do.

Keep this up @jdwaid and you might need this link

@Bridger the slim cut is definitely a bit tighter these days

My sincerest thank you to @Giles for inspiring me to be a better me. Pulled 315lbs for the first time in a while. I may push a little more today, but it’s the first time I’ve done this in a few years.

[Giles]

Thank you.

142KG, I have a way to go

[goosehd]

…just tried 337 and that’s a big nope.

[jdwaid]

@goosehd you might do this already but make sure to wear a weight belt for heavy lifts. My spine and discs are totally worn down from years of heavy deadlifts and squats. If I knew then what I know now…

[goosehd]

@jdwaid anything above 225 and the belt is on. Done so for years to hopefully avoid those issues.
