In reply to Daniel Heath:
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 here:
http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=274502
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.

AJM – It’s great that you manage to have days pushing your limits every week. Good point about twisting on offset pull ups. I’ve been doing them in the “easiest” orientation with hands facing each other. I might start trying both hands facing away now for a bit.
Biscuit – Hope your comp went well. Maybe elbow injury is an excuse to do some CV?
Joughton – Great stuff Jake, you seem to be keeping up quite a pace.
Si_dH – Shame about the injury, but I’m sure you’ll have the discipline to rest it. Again, maybe Finger injury + High weight = perfect time for CV?
NMN – Solid Week
Mattrm – Looking forward to hearing how the ultra went.
Seankenny – Good discipline with the lap sessions. Sounds like you’ve tweaked it to the right level of intensity. Well done on Chequer’s crack, which is hard!
Richardh – Scary times. Hope it doesn’t put you off your hard projects.
IanRUK – Your mileage is consistently mind blowing.
JimmyKay – Nice week. Charlie’s overhang looks cool.
Grubes – Glad you had a great trip. A different kind of rock is always a valuable experience too.
IanT – Welcome! Sounds like a good varied week. Don’t over train/get injured, but at the same time it’s good to see you get stuck in with every part of training.
Murd – Take care, stay fit. Maybe see you back in the future.
Kevster – Good stuff Kev, keep up the volume.
Andy – Good week. Sorry to hear you have to work…! Do doubt you’ll manage to squeeze fitness in as well.
Nomics4Sale – You get good days and bad days. You can’t really judge your ability/improvement by single routes good or bad. The HVS sounds nice.
GordyB – Big race, well done, and getting by without injury also deserves some credit!
Jgustafsson – Doesn’t sound like you have any problem with training hard enough (I kike the track session). Just take care with injury. Better to be cautious before your races
Chris05 - Strong sessions again. Hope you get a chance to put it to use outdoors sometime.
Mrchewey – Sounds unlucky for you. Hope you find some more time during the week.
Eagle River – Solid week throwing yourself at 7s. Good luck with Space Race. You can only do as much as the weather allows.
Steve John B – Looks quite unusual to have 4 rest days, and then train everything at once! Still, whatever works for you/what your time allows…
Quiddity – Sounds like a truly engaging project. Good luck
Liam M – Solid week. Looking forward to hearing about the race.
Hokkyokusei – Decent mileage. If you sleep that much it often means you needed the rest!
Ian Bell – It’s good that you’ve highlighted weaknesses to work.
Ayuplass – Good to get climbing outdoors, hope the weather allows you to do more.
Ali – Useful week.
Leon – Good training. It will take a while for you to get used to being stronger and for it to have an effect on your climbing. First trad day out isn’t usually very encouraging, but you’ll get it back.
Stone_donkey – keep at it, Throw yourself at 6as and you’ll start to onsight them
