FYI, Aerobic function is more complicated than 3/1, (my score on assessment is different). I asked Tom since it didn't line up, it uses a bunch of factors including bodyweight held, moves etc.
At the risk of pointing out the obvious.. Taking your 3rd rep score as a percentage of your first rep max score will still give you a result which reflects your aerobic function, it's still replicable, and you can still use it to benchmark yourself and measure progress in your aero fitness. As long as the training method is relevant to climbing goals - and it clearly is - it doesn't really matter if the method you use calculate your aerobic score (provided it's based in some sort of logic) tallies with the way the people at Lattice calculate their aerobic score. Unless your need to compare yourself with other Lattice trainees is stronger than your need to simply improve.
Doh, yes of course! I need 10Kg of assistance.Yes, the edge is pretty rounded and feels a bit awkward to me, but maybe that's because I'm not used to one-arm hangs. My guess is I could hold the middle lowest edge on the BM2K with perhaps 'just' 5Kg assistance.

My guess is I could hold the middle lowest edge on the BM2K with perhaps 'just' 5Kg assistance.I got a similar "score" as you Tom, in kg. More like 16% body weight. My assessment is when I compare myself to other climbers who climb regularly outside, -10kg ish seems fairly normal for our grade.I think the lattice data may be skewed by the the type of people taking the test, underperforming outside. Its just a hunch.
I'm weak too! I'm weak too! It might be that the numbers need an adjustment for 'days climbed outside over the last x years' or similar in order to account for a disproportionately high number of people who are strength/training/indoor/basic focused taking the test... get to it Tom.
The new one is much harder.
