Anyone know of a good site for theraband routines? I bought one of those decathlon band's with the handles to try and retain some kind of strength while im on holiday.

therabands are for rehabilitiation, especially of postural muscles.  don't think you're going to keep much climbin strength with any theraband workout.

Therabands are used for rehabilitation, but they are excellent in their own right for warm ups/downs and avoiding injury IMHO. Am sure a quick google would bring up some good workouts, in fact... (opens new window and does a quick forum search).

Think there's a couple of links in here...

if you are away working, get the book "never gymless" from the www.rosstraining.com website, plenty of bodyweight exercises - after all that is all you asked to move when climbing or bouldering not a piece of rubber.

I thought the hand training article was interesting http://www.rosstraining.com/articles/trainingthehands.html.

Might just have to get down the shops and buy a sledge hammer now

Got back and havent lost too much after using the theraband daily. Had one nasty incident doing side raises, both arms fully extended and out it slipped from my feet leaving a purple ridge across the middle of my back. Thereband academy is a good site for routines.

There's a vid on urbanclimbers site that outlines a few rubber band exercises
