I was just wondering how long people can dead hang of a jug or pull up bar for? I've been climbing for a year and can manage 2 minutes 30 seconds; I was just curious to hear about others...

In reply to Snakea:

for about 18 mins now

In reply to Daithi O Murachu: What would you say the best way to increase the time would be?

In reply to Snakea:

meditating and using straps

In reply to Snakea:

I managed one minute a bit ago - not very good I suppose lol!

In reply to Snakea:

FWIW, I've been climbing for 27 years and don't know!

In reply to Snakea:What would you say the best way to increase the time would be?


For better training effect I would recommend that you concentrate on hanging poorer holds for shorter periods of time as this will benefit your climbing more. I go through 5 attempts at diffrent holds that I can hang between less than a second up to 10 seconds with about 5 minutes rest betwen sets.

In reply to Snakea:

I can't. (don't suppose that helps you much though)

In reply to Snakea:

At a guess*, probably somewhere between 1 and 2 minutes on a bar. I've been climbing for a few years and have never had to hang in that position for more than about 3 seconds at a time.

*and it is a total guess since I don't have or use a bar.

In reply to Snakea:

have no idea! does this actually help climbing strength/endurance at all? Surely if you're hanging stationary from a jug for that long it's cos you're totally screwed and gonna fall one way or the other

In reply to Snakea:

about 15 mins - usually hang and watch TV.

In reply to Daithi O Murachu:

Do you not get bored, just hanging around?
Sounds like very uninteresting training

In reply to chickenpox:

its not boring it hurts!! and i have music playing

and its not training realy is it its more like a test!

aint don it for a while

i used a bar not climbing holds and velco straps wraped arropund my wrists and the bar to secure my grip onto the bar.

not sure if that is cheating

In reply to Daithi O Murachu: That is cheating, I can do 3 years if I superglue my fingers to a bar and have someone feed me!

<joking good effort even with hands tied to the bar;})

In reply to Snakea: 3 mins a set. using Wooden Metolius finger simulator board and it has reasonable training regime in the paperwork, in that it had me starting from 30 sec dead hangs on jugs with an equal rest period to hang period, the results were good for my increased stamina on longer climbs given that my rest points felt more like rests than scary pauses Now i am pefecting the right angle hang, which I forget the correct term for, after only 7 months with what I like to refer to as my little climbing wall in the kitchen I am on the smaller of finger holds and reaching 3 sets of 3 mins in a dead hang, but more importantly I feel my locked technique has improved no end.

In reply to Snakea:

till I`d get bored ! attention span 30 sec

In reply to Snakea:

10 seconds before my knackered right shoulder whispers to me that I should get off and do something less strenuous instead.

In reply to Daithi O Murachu:


Hanging in wrist straps sounds more like torture than training!
jk

In reply to jkarran:


er well er....some people enjoy torture

In reply to Daithi O Murachu:

Information on that can be found on the new Bedroom Belays forum....

In reply to Snakea:

Is this one armed or 2?
