i used to do it on a campus board with foot on the wall behind it. get a line of rungs up that board of yours (assume its your board in the video) normal campusy width, what 18/20mm. Then with feet on but square on to board, one arm snatch all the way up the rungs, but stick a little finger of your otherhand on the bottom, not really to take weight but to give you more control of your 'torso' so its not shifting all over the place. What i found was it tended to work that open arm, open shoulder position really well, something that is wellard to train just hanging of a board.
Might be a bit but any other tips for shoulder girdle training.. as I find 1 arming on any hold hard..but have no probs with 2 arming and extra weight, also find shouldery moves suit me but as soon as 1 arm needs to go off, and I am streched out max, to go to another hold (ie. 1 arm needs to hang a long time and take the load) I can't do the move) Will have to give the 1 arm campus thing a go...
Indeed.. but still out for some extra shoulder girdle stuff..
Btw i reckon resistance wise you should be failing before you hit ten movements.
Has anyone tested themselves in this way and what are reasonable targets to aim for over what timescales?
Is this level of Right/Left discrepancy common?
I'd think the difference between rock rings and a fixed edge might be a lot more than you're expecting.
From what I've seen you've been climbing well this year, I can't really see why benchmarking matters; do you really give a shit if you can't hang an edge with one arm if/when you've done the Oak? I doubt it.
I've no evidence for this, but a rockring might actually need less stabilization because when you start to rotate on a fixed edge you have to stabilize your body against the spin, with a rockring the hold should rotate with you, so no stabilization needed, maybe...
I'm not sold on this, everything I've ever done on a set of rings (one or two armed) has been far harder than doing so on a static bar.
I don't have a set of rockrings any more to test, but when comparing ring exercises there's a big difference between the rings supporting the load (like ring pushups) which are very unstable, and exercises where the load is suspended from the rings (deadhangs and pullups) where the instability is less.
After reading a summary of Dave Macleod's Master's thesis on the web...
The results from the foundry beastmaker are now in. Holding the bottom rail: Right arm + 7.25kg (failed at 5kg) Left arm 10.5kg (failed at 8.75kg)This compares to the bottom rung of the rock ring as stated in the OP: Right arm +11.25kg Left arm +17.5kg. Whether the improvement is down to the instability of the rock ring or that the edge on the Beastmaker is easier to hold or a combination of the two or the planets being misaligned I don't know.Main thing for me is that the dream seems much more attainable.
