The fingerboard and one arm pull-up spreadsheets are being updated live during workouts. Look at the top of the page and click on "Training Charts and Logs" if you are interested. I'm going to start keeping a log of climbing days as well so I can start to see how the training numbers carry over to climbing performance.
In other news, my friend Tyler has joined the chart keeping team. It will be interesting to have another set of data points.
Readers may have noticed that the information in this blog is devoted to the physical aspect of climbing as opposed to the technical or mental. There are a few reasons for this bias. I'll make a list.
If anyone has a good link or reference for training climbing movement skills or mental strategies: Write a comment!

- I don't believe climbing is quite as technical as everyone says. This might have something to do with my background in much more technical sports(gymnastics, diving).
- I don't feel qualified to talk in depth about the mental side of climbing. Dave Macleod's book 9 out of 10 climbers makes the same mistakes has some good writing on this topic.
- I feel like the training methods I have developed are very beneficial while breaking most of the standard "rules" regarding training for climbing.
