familiar with the moon site, but appreciate the tip.i don't agree that by doing loads of climbing i will get noticeably stronger. my crimp and open hand strength are pretty good and i've determined that powerful, locky arm strength is disporporionately low and a factor in limiting my success on problems.
for example, even a year ago, i could do ladders without matching on the smallest campus rungs, and i've done 1-5 doubles in the past, too.i am really looking for an analysis of what happens when you go from the 1-4 lock through to six, and how to train the weakest link in the chain.

Youll never get 'proper' good crimp strength training indoors as the jolds generally arent small enough.
One thing you can do is rain the negative movement instead ie start off with your hands on four and 6 and drop your top hand down to one IN CONTROL. This works because a muscle can lower a larger load than it can lift and therefore it puts extra stress on your muscles than just campussing
you pull a bit harder than if you were going to rung 5.
if your lock was solid you would be able to maintain the position and definately have the height to latch 6?
train one armers but keeping open.

3. Take one arm off.4. Has your body moved? If the answer is yes then your arms are definitely "the weakest link" and you need to do more lock off training on a pull up bar.
tried also 147 with 4kg on, and, besides being hard it proved to be very dangerous: the wheights dangle alot when dynoing, and almost smashed my family jewels.
Lead pants can't be good for you!
