Jealous of any of you losing weight during confinement. Eating and drinking are two of the only things I seem psyched for. Any tips?
What edge for you max hangs on the 1K Yetix?
S- Sore and tired. Walked to Bell Hagg which was fucking amazing after a week indoors. As the golf course I walk across to get there is closed I was able to wander back across the whole course rather than just using the one right of way across it- last time this was possible was early 2018 when it was one big snowdrift. Turns out there’s a very small quarry on there with potential for three or four boulder problems- the Catch 22 being that when we can climb again the course will be open again and it’s not only above one of the greens it’s also visible from peoples houses

I think I got up to about 15kgs on them last year then stopped! I can’t hang them with my back 3 without any assistance - my hands are so index and middle loaded!
I'd like for future me to get to Murph numbers on the smaller edge!
Lets not start putting terrible puns about here.

They have moved from being against the law to personal responsibility. Hopefully I will be climbing again by the end of the month!
Would be interested to know how they're phasing sports/activities back in and how climbers/bikers etc there are responding?
Keeping a tally of pull-ups and press-ups since lockdown, up to 425 and 600 respectively. Pull strength still way down since before wrist injury but it's slowly coming back
Bottom 1k 18mm edge
What's your lockdown loop, Harry? I used to go up Park Road to Dick Hudsons and drop back down Heights Lane to get to Eldwick. Might have to reverse that and gain the height initially by heading up Lady Lane. Not sure my legs would get up Park Road these days!

Didn't actually use the fingerboard this week. Would like to do 2 board sessions and 2 x 30 mins fingerboard this week but not sure if that will be too much too soon for the fingers. Plus a couple of core workouts plus some pull ups plus a bit of cardio to keep weight down. Not sure how it will all fit in.
Just finished that, then floored to find out my old mentor and much loved friend was one of the first UK doctors to die from the virus; everything has been much more serious since..

From what you always used to post pre-lockdown am I right in saying you were climbing outside maybe twice a week? If so, two fingerboard sessions and two board sessions is a big increase in both volume and intensity, which you shouldn't underestimate. When I first started fingerboarding I spent months gradually easing into it, doing sub maximal work just getting used to form and using the thing. Feel like that has definitely paid dividends in subsequent years. Then again, you've been climbing for a long time so you should be pretty well adapted already it might just be a case of being cautious.
home gym in our incomplete but waterproof garage extension; rowing machine, cycling machine, pull-up/dips station, hip stretcher, lifting platform, 5 fingerboards with pulley, mini campus board, small 25 degree board, rings, rope climbing rope, bachar ladder.
I don't feel like I'm getting especially tired - not sure if this is good for the effectiveness of the training.So overall it didn't feel like I worked very hard and it didn't take very long.
QuoteWould be interested to know how they're phasing sports/activities back in and how climbers/bikers etc there are responding?It will come into effect tomorrow and it is still unclear about what and what is not permissible. Ski touring and mountain biking are still mentioned as no go sports, although I don't think it is technically illegal. I have not seen climbing specifically mentioned anywhere though. In reality is still going to be very restrictive. You are still only allowed to be in close contact with people you live with and cannot leave your area without a good reason. Therefore, the climbing would have to be in your own area (postcode). I will wait to see how it develops but in the meantime I don't want rock to get in the way of my finger boarding and pull ups!
The weather has been absolutely outrageous since the lockdown started!
