erm, a whole hand on a good hold?
I'm trying various things to get closer to 100% bodyweight from a static contraction with my leading arm. Is it better from a training viewpoint to work up to this goal slowly, using say three fingers of one arm, or a bit faster, with a whole hand on a reasonable hold, and weight?No flames, please. I know nothing.
i suspect you'd be better just climbing to get strong rather than training to get strong for climbing.
I would have thought isolating fingers is quite a dangerous activity, especially if you are just starting out. Your tendons probably aren't ready for you to subject them to that sort of stress.
Buy two dogs, carry one in each arm at all times. Aim to get a heavier dog for your weak arm.
I can recommend English Bull Terriers for strength training and for not being mistaken for Paris Hilton (-although people may think you're princess anne once you start to muscle-up!)
