When you say a peg stuffed in the back is this a bit of wood cut to size on cord? Might be a good solution for me too seeing as 20mm edges do not seem to be a thing...
So what does a standard set of 3 grips look like for you? 3 finger drag bottom outside, 4 finger half crimp bottom outside, A.N. Other?

Just a plastic clothes peg... found them easier to get out after than a battery. Measured them at 19mm but size doesn't really matter, more consistency (so I'm told )

Potty train the toddler?I'm lucky enough to have a board at home so decided to set a project today that I'll try to do over the coming weeks at home. Heres the first gripping video installment. Suffice to say, it's still a project. I'll try to keep posting up as (if) I make progress.Good thread, thanks. Super jealous of your board...what I wouldn't give! Hindsight is a terrible thing sometimes.Number one goal for me is to keep eating healthily and avoid a descent into video games, pizza and beer. All I have at home is a Beastmaker 2000 and a pull up bar, plus a few peripheral items including a mono trainer and pulley, so gainz will revolve around those. Haven't done any hang boarding for about 6 months bar the odd brief "check-in" type session so interesting to see where I'm at.- 20s +25kg half crimp hang on the small edges (+16kg feels fairly maximal atm, never done any more than 10s hangs before)- 10s +40kg hang on a 19mm edge (just the larger slot with a peg stuffed in the back - would equal my PB from last Autumn)- 10s +25kg middle finger mono pick up (+15kg feels okay atm, easing into it slowly)- 10s one arm hang the big middle slot (my arms are piss weak)- 10s one arm lock off on the pull up bar (see above)

All dependent on receiving delivery of pull-up bar and beastmaker (as well as my ability to install):
Hi Nick, what’s the rationale for the longer hangs? Just mixing things up or is it a specific protocol? I have a vague memory of salt beef raving about these a while ago...

Variation of load is not just a good idea, it is the law. Every training plan needs variation, unless the plan is to get up on a plateau and stay there forever.

Or just use a bit of old climbing rope as a makeshift TRX?
Was about to say, lol at TT owning a rope.
Am I a cock if I order the parts for a woody? Obviously non-essential but I'm not sure it adds any risk of virus to anyone along the line?
