Campussing is for people who want to boulderer campus-style problems of 8A and above. It's not nesessary for easier-ish problems.
So what your saying is you want to train to become better at campusing?

What I'm saying is, there's a limited bunch of things you can do inside to get stronger. One of them is campusing. I hit a ceiling with my previous methods and now understand why. I'll enjoy busting out of that ceiling because who doesn't? And that's going to give me an effective training tool to add to the mix of things that can be done indoors.
Why? Ok so it loads the pulleys but so does crimping, slapping for crimps and pulling hard on crimps. If you're going to say stuff like that then you might as well just write off crimping full stop. I think there's some "Dave Mc Science" that says training one grip type does not train the other, I know rich thought otherwise. People being scared of crimping is daft.
Loving the hatching reptile thing, Jenn. Did you fix your rotator cuff?
for more of a full training session id reccomend these babyshttp://www.rockrun.com/products-Rock-Rings_CL-TB-ROCR.htmi think they make pull-ups more relational to climbing than just a simple pull-up bar, espcially if you do the workout that comes with them. they seem to have worked for me

I've seen a exceptionally well known elite climber using them for a warm down and also (once) to do muscle-ups (ending with arm locked out at the top from a pull up.) Not many folk can do these!
A bit gimmicky?

All you need is a wooden edge and hard fucking work for God's sake. It is not complicated ... The path to true power and maximising your abilities is one of drudgery and mental strength and if you wish to take it then the rewards will come. But it's a hard path to start down and an even harder one to stick to.

Not many folk can do these!yes they can.yeah yeah. like I said. (Unless you count going from a starting position with the things at chin height, or something lower. I don't. I mean when the the starting position is from a totally straight arm, preferably higher than possible from a standing start.)
Jeez he means from so low down that you have to rotate your false grip so that your palms are facing out to either side. Its as low as you can go without go-go gadget stretching arms. Saltbeef, Dobbin, Monkey Boy etc. all crush Muscle Ups for breakfast.
are you planning on topping out via 2 ring shaped objects? if not muscle ups are totally pointless. if you're going to do something do pull ups and dips
