Piggie,

I know you aren't right now, but do you normally use it?
Can't we all just get along?

The Maxi-pull is a feminine product!!!

Jokes aside, is this contraption for sloper strength. Don't most hangboard come with a sloper or two on them?

My understanding is that the sloper is positive enough that it doesn't really test contact strength. Because the hold is so good, it doesn't put a lot of stress on your fingers, and tends to isolate forearm muscles, generating a pump without tweaking your fingers.

Wow, I get credit for that? I remember drinking beer and watching you work. Then I went back to doing pull-ups on huge jugs so I could get strong. I still don't know what my problem is. :idea:
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening
