actually.....your right, I am going to have to train my ass off

My plan is to not train at all, and still out climb you queers.

why do all the home walls have jugs to start and end problems? isn't this a waste of training space? are we afraid to fall from 8 feet or somehting on to cushioned pads? or is it more of a testosterone thing amongst little boys to say you stuck the last finishing jug on an indoor problem?

btw, my wall is also lilke that, but it just hit me that I am cheating myself out of some training.

I want to know why there aren't more arm bars in 12 feet tall home gyms, I don't have that much endurance. Don't you people know how to arm bar? Pigsteak's is actually quite nice!

Select 55 is my dirty little secret.

kramp, seriously dude, you gotta get a little weaker not stronger, I can't even get up your climbs on top-rope anymore, it's getting embarrassing. of course i do want to see you send your latest projects, but after that, no more!

Cuz the last move has to be a big throw. Standard.

not sure about the last hold....

but id probably only ever use a (relatively) decent hold for a start. it gives you a chance to settle into your fingers before you start cranking. and as far as the training aspect of that goes, it's probably better (safer & healthier) to start on a jug than to risk the 'full octane' approach on every problem.

speaking of training, though... if u climb at the red, having a jug to finish the problem would probably be ideal & realistic. but that only applies if u hang on to the thing for a little while before dropping to the floor.

nice wall chriss

Ha, I think that she has thought about it Believe it or not I turned the fan on yesterday while training.

I like the big move / throw finish, and finger buckets to start. Just a preference as I have plenty of room in between for harder moves. Not to say that I don't have problems with harder first moves though.

shoot, I've got freakin 2X4s across the top of mine....ya gotta know how to arm bar as brent states....
