From about 8 mins in:



Does anyone do this? I just arbitrarily added a few sets to the end of my training session this eve. I get the feeling I'll be getting DOMS, perhaps that means I've targeted an area of muscle I'm missing with the usual hang routine. But also, therefore, muscle I don't necessarily need to recruit to hang off stuff in real climbing.

Yep, I do similar with a barbell in a squat rack set up with a low catcher.

Start with bodyweight and work up from there. Be wary I found I would lift myself off slopers by doing a finger tip pull up as it teaches you to curl your fingers hard!

I'm sure that by doing forearm curls in the squat rack you made a lot of friends in the gym.

I train late at night so normally have the place to myself!

Are you saying, that when you walk in, everyone else leaves?

Right. Useful for making gains do you think, or should I stick to hanging off bits of wood?

Just different exercises, keep things fresh.

Perhaps try and cycle it with fingerboarding to push past any plateaus.
