I'm sure my family would love to hear that!

I spent most of 2010/11 doing a mix of crossfit and personal training - I could dead lift about 90kg, squat about the same, and do a whole lot of other things that didnt really help me climb better - just got me injured.

I love how 'climb more' is thrown about so easily, like 'just get on rock more often' or ;just take more weekends away to work on your project'

I have a 8 month old son, a girlfriend who doesnt climb, a full time job that works on a 6 day roster (and maybe a new job in a few weeks) as well as a crap load of debt to pay. I also dont have a woody to climb on at home. I also live close to 3hrs each way from my project.

So for right now, this is the best I can manage.

The curls are included (like the dips) to isolate the specific muscle - pulls ups also work the bicep but also engage the core, back, shoulders and triceps so you can cheat a little.

For my projects (if you arent familar with the problems) they are roof problems along flake crimps located in Hollow Mountain Cave... A lot of the time, I am in underclings which means I need biceps... I've planned for the first 4 weeks of my training, then for the 2nd four weeks, I may not need the curls...
