NotesDo pullups thumbless b/c that's more comfortable, plus I guess marginally more specific to climbing.
5 reps on pinch block was pretty hard, but just about managable. I really love using it, and it feels like it really helps my climbing -- simultaneously help out with pinches and open hand things and slopers, all with one exercise. And it's fun. Further benefit, distinct from the hangboard, is that since I have to generate the force to lift the thing from the ground, it feels like it trains a different aspect of _pulling hard_ or really aggressively flexing hand/finger muscles -- key for those desperate holds you sometimes have to do climbing
ROM on ab wheel actually pretty good, abs really got a boost from climbing steep overhangs at the new gym.
Nice to have some pretty concrete goals I can work on in my home training: pullups keep pushing that weight up, pinch block get to reps at 16kg, ab wheel complete full rollouts, pushbacks start feeling strong on foot elevated, rehab get ability to hang 3fd without pain again, then start loading. if i accomplish all of these then i'll be in a rad spot when i feel comfortable going climbing again.
smart. this is one advantage of running: it's solitary and outdoors.
thanks for sure, might work some running in depending how restless i get, esp as weather improves. the day we go climbing together will hopefully be a cause for celebration, though
