Recently got a puppy, which currently means fuck all sleep and limited chance of floor exercise without being viciously attacked. The dog's a right bastard.
Being furloughed from the 1st so will have more time but will need to work out a system so I don't get chronically bored or just fatigued from over-fingerboarding. Think the crux for me will be trying not to drink so much (every night this week I think) and having enforced rest days; at least one, maybe two a week.
T: run. mono no hangs. Was planning on doing a proper fingerboard session but got carried away playing with these. Chisel grip...
I've just made my plan alternating days of fingerboard / pull-ups one day, press-ups and core the next. I have weekly aims such as number of days doing 100 press-ups etc. This seems to be working but yes, I am drinking more...

All I need to do now is move 5ft from the kitchen table to the pull up bar.

Have a similar question; quite a few seem to be doing these in half crimp, any particular reason? I've been doing these too but fully open, as that's how I'd normally take a pocket. Should you do both?

My sole motivation for climbing is to do it outside. If I never got shut down outside I wouldn't train (logical really).
Yeah I'm struggling with routine at home. Not been furloughed yet but see it coming in a month or so, unless the market picks up suddenly... Drinking way more than usual and not training. My sole motivation for climbing is to do it outside. If I never got shut down outside I wouldn't train (logical really). I think I did Ab ripper once last week and that was it. Need to step. it. up

Chisel is pinky and index dragging, middle two half crimp surely?What I mean is the pip joint at 90 degrees and the dip joint at 180. When doing it as a full hand grip, I normally have my front three fingers in this position, and pinky dragging. I don't actually know if I'm using the term correctly
Developed a new level of respect for convicts who keep themselves in shape in movies like De Niro in Cape Fear or Sarah Connor in T2.
Yeah, I enjoy training but I do it for outdoors rather than for its own sake. Absolutely guarantee I will go outside again when this is done and feel no different on the rock despite all the training!
I always struggle to do any training because it's too easy to get sidetracked by real climbing, which I always prioritise over going indoors. So all summer I'm out on the grit in the evenings doing trad plodding or whatever, which means I never get round to training. With that out of the window I've thrown myself into this. In reality I'm just doing what everyone on here has been doing for years. Core in front of the telly; fingerboarding; board sessions etc. I'm quite hopeful that I'll end up in better shape by the end of it.
