In terms of back/arm strength I'm ok - with a few weeks practice I can usually bang out a couple of one-arm pull-ups.
It's just frustrating being shit!
No not Goonie, but do need some sort of 12 step program to wean me from my addiction to training...

Oh & Mr Line sir (or can I just call you slack?) I don't suppose I could persuade you to do that archive just using zip? I can't open it on a Windows machine at work.
I've mentioned it before, but there is a very real enjoyment to be had from moving well on rock whilst climbing well within one's limits. It won't make sense until you've got into it. Improvement doesn't just have to be about grades and strength; for me it can also be about doing moves in better style and with less physical effort. This can work indoors as well as out.
I scanned these a while back which you may find useful.Quote from: Rocksteady on June 23, 2009, 12:00:02 pmIt's just frustrating being shit! Shit compared to what though?
