Ssb or super wide grip. I don’t find it as deteriating as on squats.

This. SSB is amazing for GMs. Then a super wide grip, I don’t see an issue, unless you’re doing 3RM à la westside lool
Controversial individual no doubt, but I always got a kick out of people bashing “his” program. I think it was Flap that pointed out that it was just a basic 5/3/1 template that used double progression rather than percentages. Nothing wrong with that and probably a better option for a lot of people. When some other posters started discussing the dangers of running a program like that I couldn’t help but think “dude, gtfo” haha.

What’s the tendenitis/nosis you got? Is it golfers or tennis elbow, or your hip? Can’t find it in the thread

Oddly enough I had my hands on the collars and it was worse than my normal style back squat
Totally agree, it’s arguably a slightly higher intensity, higher volume variety minus PR sets but double progression brings that out.

I’ve dealt with this a few times, and different methods have worked each time. I’ve used:
- Lowering with rotation a weighted ice axe and then lifting it with the other arm.
- Therabar
- Submax chins like rippoetoe has mentioned in a vid.
Honestly thought the 3rd one was a ridiculous suggestion but it worked. This time 1 &2 didn’t work. So, I did sets of 3 or 5 chins regularly. It hurt but the next day the elbow felt better. Rinsed and repeated. Still sounds like it’ll injure me more, even though it’s worked.
Don’t have one of them. Tried a hammer, did not elicit pain. Will revisit with a longer lever, I have a broom stick that might make up for its lack in weight by being a really long lever arm. Will try later today. Thanks for turning me back on to these.
This I have, finding great success with it. Trying to do sets of ten throughout the day. Have to be more disciplined about this. Will set a recurring alarm. I have the green one (7kg). There is one that is 11kg, I’ve considered buying that as well but for now 7 is adequate to elicit pain (acceptable range <= 4/10) so I’m sticking with it.
Could you elaborate with what you mean about submax? I can interpret this in more than one way.
And also of course, change my climbing so I’m not over-gripping as much
Interesting. Is it possible you’re pulling the bar down into you too much? Maybe play with bar position a bit.
I’m a curious egg but I don’t care enough about good mornings as an exercise to explore it at the potential of injuring my elbow. I need that joint often.

Broom stick had a better effect. Then I took a dumbbell an loaded in just one side. Perfection.
I had a pink weight on the ice axe didn’t take much. I know some people use frying pans or woks.
Sub max chins. You’re right it’s vague. I meant to do sets of 5 of you’ve got a 10 rep max.
I’ve wondered if treatment changes whether the pain is due to overloading the biceps, grip or wrist but have no idea about the anatomy. I know campus boards instantly felt bad.
My physio said that if something hurts but next day it feels better, than do more. But if it feels ok but next day it hurts, then stop. Sometimes you’ve got to do one thing at a time and wait a day.
You still ice climb?
Fuck me, can I load it with weights. My fatigued max is twenty plus reps.
Don’t even have to try to know that’s murder.
It’s interesting being a lifter coming into climbing with a different perspective. At first I swallowed all the dogma like beginners shouldn’t hangboard and you shouldn’t hangboard if you have a pulley strain and the later may be true depending on the severity but if we think about it from a force perspective,
F=m x a
Then hangboarding is safer than bouldering since a remains constant. The former is arguably true in the sense that its not required and climbing more is closer to the actual skill. But absent a climbing gym, sure, hangboard.
Smart physio!
Yeah, just go very easy. Here you go, can’t believe it worked
Hang boarding for me has always been fine. Just got stronger from it. I think the first generations of board went with sharper edges and I imagine people closed crimp on them. I open crimp everything, it’s weaker but I got less injuries. This wasn’t a conscious choice just open handed everything.

I’ll… Have to try that x) but first get rigorous with the standard protocols. Rotate. Therabar. Paint the walls. Then, if that fails when applied with discipline: 20 sets of two reps x)
21°C here this afternoon…
I was reading @mr.v3lv3t s log and noticed he was outdoor climbing mere days ago. For the last few months that would’ve been as enjoyable as climbing inside of a freezer. You know how your fingers feel holding something frozen like meat? Granite gets cold. And feels sharper when cold too.
HAPPY to have snow though rather than just wet mush
