http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4136018.stmnice bit explaining paula's compression socks here. I can't believe that the benefits that apply to marathon running would apply to climbing.
i recently got a pair of compression/medical sleeves off my cousin's husband who woks for a comp that makes them.i tried different methods of using them (mainly on my arms )as it had been some time since i had been leading indoors and not many sessions back since a 3 wk holiday, my stamina and power was shitwore on 1 arm whilst climbing definately made that arm feel pumped even after 1 routewearing them (as advised by adam) during rest periods after climbing felt they were workingwill be trialing them out for another few weeks so maybe when i'm stronger, i may see more benifit of wearing them
("i live in font, i don't train, i just climb" the usual s*** that neil says...
