Post by: moose on February 23, 2015, 10:30:17 am: Wow... all the injury potential of a campus board and a Bachar ladder in one handy package, held together with Prusik loops!

It's so similar that at first I thought it was made by the BM boys...

I have no idea myself, just thought it was worth seeing what the UKB training monsters made of it. I wonder if there are any sound general principles behind it?

I like the adjustable rung depth mechanism.

Post by: rodma on February 23, 2015, 01:27:47 pm: unstable equals wobble equals a little bit more difficult in certain regards, but will also be more forgiving on the drop downs since the rung/rig moves with you so may be easier.

too gimmicky, it's unlikely to be the future in the rodma household.

less likely than buying double kneepads for that matter

Post by: mctrials23 on February 23, 2015, 01:32:36 pm: There is a different video on that site that is much better than the one in the OP but it still feels like a jack of all trades, master of none and an injury waiting to happen.

Always wondered if the word "dress" was supposed to be in there somewhere...

yeah, I wouldn't trust my elbows to those knots... :whistle:

I bet udini buys one for his madhouse wall.

It's just what Gullich always intended!
