Meaning what, were you employing sarcasm/irony? (I'm uninjured)
But seriously, who else is writing about climbing training right this minute? Aside from Gresham and other Poodle breeders.
You could corner the market in one and employ the knowledge of the School. That's quite a resource.
its simple: basic, fingery, stop strong,however people will always look for a shortcut

I dont agree.
Anyone know where one may purchase bodypacks (some vest that takes added weight) or whatever they are called?
"I use the vest twice a week while rock climbing, and I have successfully gone in 6 months where most climbers go in 2 years. The vest is everything I hoped, and more. My strength and fitness gains are thru the roof, and the V-Max vest increases the intensity of my workouts by ten fold. The great design allows me to climb safely without worrying about harming my body. If I fall the symetrical layout of the vest allows me to land safely. Thank you for the great design, and wonderful performance."-Marc B., Gainesville Fl
Hence Room 101 eh Paul?I looked on PubMed before to see what papers were around regarding our little sport (peer reviewed stuff is very scarce, and generally crap). Feel free to have a search and let us know if you find something. I would myself but I haven't got time at present.

Bit off topic this Q but how do you train technique? Outdoors? Have I answered my own Q?
Be weak so you have no choice other than to learn?
when I finally do a problem that has taken a lot of working, I don't just stop when I've done it (as long as I have skin and am not going to injure myself). I try to do it again as soon as I think my muscles have recovered enough (ie 2 to 10 mins after). Sometimes this results in really smooth ascents within minutes of my first, sketchy ascent. I'm sure this helps me to learn technique.
When you come across a problem that you find hard because you can't overpower it, don't just tick it and move on, do it again and again.
It still shocks me that a common definition for climbing without power/strength = the application of technique
It's written all over this forum. Got better things to do than trawl it.
