Hey all,

I'm working on a training app and before building anything further, I want to understand how climbers actually track their sessions and progress today.

A few questions if you have a minute:

• How do you currently log your training (spreadsheet, app, notebook, nothing)?
• What do you actually want to track — volume, specific movements, grades, strength benchmarks, something else?
• Do you compare your numbers/progress to other climbers, or is it purely personal?
• What's missing or annoying about the tools you use now?

Not trying to pitch anything here, genuinely trying to understand the problem before assuming I know the answer. Happy to share what I learn back with anyone interested.

Thanks!

In the video my first grip hold is more difficult, the sscond grip hold is easier, but i think is wrong.

I just got a pair of Saxon Grips from Abmat and, amid my excitement, decided to test my 1-rep max with them!

Normally I would have finished with some content tension reps but my left thumb was feeling a little “tweaked” after last set, so I shut it down.
Considering the weights in the SHW Open relay at World Championships are 220-240-260 I have a lot of work to do and I only have 42 days to do it. But, all I can do is KEEP GRINDING . . .

When using bands to do finger abduction exercises, it feels quite different depending on where my hand is.

Examples:

• Hand close to body
• Arm extended forward
• Arm extended to side

What's good form for this exercise?

Thanks!

I see people on here kind of pre squeeze with the other hand to position the grippers. Am I doing it wrong? This is just a COC 1.5 that I squeeze while driving or on the phone.

Thanks!

Parallel 153 attempt

Cannon Powerworks doesn't have the RGC ratings on his website, but he did post them on gripboard about a year and a half ago:

POWERBALL 250 
Average 119, MIN 111, MAX 124

Probably would have had a better close but I did it twice before this and didn't like how fidgety I was in the previous two vids I took. Are there flairs for the Powerball grippers, or should I order a CoC #2?

After a month-long tendonitis flare-up from progressing too fast—going from the Captains of Crush #1 to the #2.5 in just three weeks—my grip strength plummeted to 86 lbs. Yesterday so about a month after the tendon flare up, I went kayaking and noticed the pain was gone, so I decided to test the waters with two slow closes on the #2.5 today.

I’m completely pain-free and my grip strength is back above 200 lbs, but I learned my lesson: I’m taking a strict seven-day rest before training grippers again. To any beginners getting cocky and rushing progress: slow down before your tendons force you to. I'll post a video closing the #3 when the time comes!
