Hi

Got my beastmaker mounted :-) and trying to work out when best to build repeater sessions into the week.

On a night when I'm going to the wall (e.g. medium circuit at works with lots of standing around chatting kind of session) would I be better off doing a fingerboard workout before or after??

I'm guessing after as would be fully warmed up but not basing this on anything other than gut instinct..

Cheers

Lex

Sounds like you'd benefit from less standing around and chatting

Yeah left myself open to that!

I'd just give up if I were you Lex.

Perhaps take up Cricket, lots of standing around for ya

I was using mine on my rest days from climbing. High intensity very low volume say a set of repeaters two max and then stop and the same the next day, third day climbing my contact strength was amazing and I managed this routine for 3 weeks. I'm having a few days rest now as my arms are knackered which is a shame as my fingers feel fine.

I'm doing the same, its seems to be working for me too! Maybe this rest day malarkey is overrated

 Let the Moffatt speak: "[John] Bachar […] taught me the importance of rest days. You can take it for granted that people will train; it's when and how much they rest that's variable. Too much training is as bad as not enough."

I refer you to Patxi Usobiaga's training regime. 2500 moves a day, 7 days a week for 3 months. Rest days are for the weak!

I bet he can't wait for the end of that three month cycle so he can get his rest day and hit the beastmaker

What's this Patxi bloke ever done on grit?

Yup, got one of those, use it for TABATA protocol sprints and Kettlebell swings, I can vouch for it's effectiveness.

Waddage if someone can identify and android app that does the same.

I'd wad myself but a) I can't and b) it wasn't very difficult as it's called the same as the iphone app!

Android folks can just do a search on the market place for 'round timer'. It's the first result. It's $0.99 but i figure it's worth it.

I manage ok with a clock on the wall with a second hand, or the free stopwatch on my Android to be honest, counting helps take my mind off the forearm burn!

5. anyone found a cheap BIG clock in a supermarket with a large secondhand? I cant see solo sessions with a stop watch not working out.

I found myself in a similar situation, so went into Argos (the shame) and they have a wall clock for a princely sum of £3.49. stock code 255/3586. Couldn't deal with queues though, will go in when it is quieter.

As a note, 46 people have reviewed this clock on their website. Have they not got better things to do?

[a dense loner]

they've probably got more things to do than the 10 or so entries about stopwatches we've had on this thread

not sure if anyone else has suggested it but I use a metronome set to 60 beats per minute....

Going to break my long term lurking to share this timer, which is great if you can see your computer screen

which I have been using with my beastmaker, lets you save various options, you can get it to count in so you have time to get to the board.

Had 7 months off climbing/life due to non climbing related surgeries and recoveries, so am pretty much as weak as you get also hadn't mounted my board in my new rental house due to deposit return fear, however after seeing the beastmaker pdf on mounting I was inspired to do this



Which is a removable door frame insert on which everything is mounted, goes up and down in about a minute.  I have also been following the beginner regime 2/3 times a week that Ned and Dan posted on the Works website (repeaters 4 finger, 3 finger, slopers) and have already (within a fortnight) noticed improvement.

btw this may be a slackers linux question but does this timer beep for anyone else, it doesn't on my linux box and I don't have windows/other OS to test it.
