Treadwall
7x2 min treadwall (setting ~6, ~1:1 work:rest)
Hard to quantify the difficulty, but each two minute round was pumpy, and fatigue accumulated a lot across rounds. We were shooting for 10 rounds, but (thankfully) ran out of time. Probably just the right volume actually, since we were starting to pop off before the full two minutes. Worth noting that since Kenway weighs a bit more, he had to work harder (faster).
The treadwall doesn't replicate much of the feel of climbing, cause you just can't rest, but it seems perfect for working forearm endurance and footwork. Too bad you can't get a more negative incline on it, otherwise it would be really great for body tension as well.
My Miuras developed a hole in the toe, so I took advantage of the EMS sale to pick up another pair.

That looks like fun! I wish our gym had one to play with.
Sounds like a great session. Although I am not sure it beats the party I was at which offered infinite supplies of home made fried chicken!
I find that max incline is more than enough, you guys were really climbing hard. One other thing I find it good to practice is efficiency. As you get tired, it trains you to make the movements with the least amount of energy.
Did you get the lace-up again?
Well, I can say it also replicates the next-day forearm soreness pretty well too. Don't get me wrong though, it is boring as fuck, traversing would be more interesting if you had that option. Another tool in the toolbox though.
Yeah, I went with the lace-up. Refuse to show up like the Three Musketeers with matching shoes.
It's a tough tradeoff, the physical work is good but it gets mind-numbing pretty quickly. Doing it with Brian helped a lot, we essentially just rotated one person on, one person off.
The pump was long-lasting after the third interval or so, and clearly lasted through the "rest" intervals.
I really did try to convert B on the velcro Miuras, but he wasn't biting...
Well, to be honest, they did not have my size ...
The Three Musketeers, that would have been cute!
BTW Good pick on the songs Brain, I really enjoy them.
