el flaco lento
Due to a recent NNFN!, I can't weight my right wrist for at least 2 weeks, which might stretch to a couple of months. I'm not sure if I'm more pissed-off by the possibility of a fractured scaphoid from a "fall on out-stretched hand", or that it is such a common injury that it has a widely accepted acronym (FOOH injury) - I'm not only injured, I'm cliched!
Lots of long walks to look longingly at crags are probably in the pipe-line but I feel I should also address some climbing weaknesses. Within a couple of days of the injury, I already had a calibration session for assisted left-arm max hangs (my left hand is my weakest, and I always suspected my right was taking the bulk of the load during two arm max hangs, so this seems a good time to redress the balance).
But my other big weakness is core - specifically maintaining tension across holds and getting feet back on after cutting loose - my long, thin body has the rigidity of two week-old celery. I now can't do leg raises or ab-wheel rollouts, so any recommendations for floor work-outs? Is ab-ripper any good - I'm sure I could cope with the hideous branding if it got results. Any ideas / links to videos / routines welcome - particularly those that could be good for "maintenance" after I'm (hopefully) healed - e.g. 15-30 mins that might give benefits if slotted in after work, one or two times a week.
