UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with (or without) it as a motivational tool for all.
For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles are linked here:

A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity

Si Cox – Welcome back. Gently does it with re-introducing climbing to spangled tendons
Nick Russell – Congratulations on VotB and various Cheddar flashes. See if Sweet Tufa tickles your fancy at Cheddar?
biscuit – back in the game! I hope the elbows have settled down again? Diet wise – read this and don’t get obsessed by the latest craze in diets.

hms – more productivity for the second half of the trip, but “50 pull-ups in 5s when I got home” must be some kind of world record?
Exile – reacquainting yourself with E3 – more to come I hope?
mattrm – solid week of gardening. Finger/shoulder fixed and crushed 6c this week?
Tubb93 – How was the sweaty grit?
Tyler – Elbows? Glad you showed up ER and The Fox at Kilnsey. What do they know, eh?
Luke Owens – We’ve spoken during the week. Keep the psyche on and broaden your experience base rather than getting bogged down in the redpoint blues. Here’s some suggested routes to get on:

Dandan82 – PUPPY! Do you mean Sign of the Vulcan? Surely that isn’t finger friendly? Don’t run before you can walk.
Ally Smith – Time to do some proper training instead of just going to the crag you lazy fecker.
IainRUK – great progress in upping the miles again. Soon up to a weekly ton?
JimmyKay – Take it easy in Spain - enjoy the Rioja and croissants available in Tres Ponts
grubes – My (work) trips to Germany are also filled with beer and sausage – it’s a hazard you have to deal with! Toe better?
Joughton – Ben and Jerry 80’s style “performance enhanced” weight loss regime…
Humperdink – Low mileage, but good quality running - close but no cigar on the 800m time.
leon – good sessions – try increasing the intensity of the 4x4, not the volume – it’s an aero-power exercise, not a aero-cap exercise. Throw some V4’s in for good measure. Have fun in Pembers.
mbh - more travels this week?
