Normal service resumed

Just a quick post. Pull up bar turned up last week and had a quick session on the rock rings last night. It works really well and will definitely help in getting some finger strength back. Needs a few tweaks as I'm touching the floor when using the two finger pockets.

I've also got some holds which I'm going to screw to a backing board and make a finger/system board. These will allow me to train all the various grips and positions.

I was surprised that I wasn't as weak as I thought I would be. I certainly feel more stable and did feel any pain in the form arms. I'm sire this morning but the gym work seems to have paid off, short term. Still going to need to stretch heavily, I'm also thinking of getting an armaid to massage my form-arms as this is (according to the physio) is where a lot of the pain comes from. At £100 they aren't cheap but that's about 3 sessions at the physio; jury is still out on that one at the moment.

Powerbar and rock-rings. Be interesting to see my progress over the next few months using just this set-up.

It's going to be interesting to see what strength and power gains I can make using this set-up and going to the gym. I'm hoping to build up to training 3-4 times a week on the rock rings.

I'll keep you guys posted. I'm off out this weekend climbing so hopefully I will have some decent routes under my belt come Monday and maybe even a little footage if it's worth filming!
