on the 3" PVC, do you rotate the pipe to choose between more or less slipperiness?
How is it anchored, or is it not?

1hr on plastic and hangboard followed by some rolling, planking and bosu ball squats. Been doing more gym/joint therapy this week to avoid the slush and work on that age reversal thing

scuffy b,
yes, we do rotate the pipe to the current climbers choice of desired friction.
The two 10 feet pieces of pipe are each fastened in their mid zone to the ladder with 1" webbing and tightened with a 1" ratchet windlass. The webbing is wrapped around the bottom of the ladder near a rung, running over the top of the pipe then down, back and under the center of a rung to the top of the pipe and then to the ratchet tightening assembly. We have the ratchet on the top side of the ladder. Surprisingly, just one attachment to the pipe and ladder done this way is quite sufficient when cranked moderately tight to counter the climbers introduced twisting force.

Throw this one in with your 12 min Honnold core with a 1 min rest for a real good 25 min workout. Really good if you are working on strengthening your lower back.

overtraining is real. I am paying the price now for the 20years of martial arts crazyness in my youth. elbows and knees are toast. too many kicks and punches.

tradsmanclimbs,
" crazyness" , is not training but putting your training to use.

that lower back foundation thing is legit. my back appreciated it after doing it once, and I am interested in results from doing it regularly.

Anaerobic endurance session on plastic. First one of the phase and my AE is horrendous right now. I was kind of shocked at how poor it was, but it does train up quickly, I can usually pleateau out within 8 sessions or ~3 weeks. Should set me up to peak for a couple sport route projects in March.
Weight vest hill repeats?
Out of curiousity, what are you trying to train by doing that?
Maybe your goals are sports other than climbing?
The only thing I can imagine it has any usefulness for in climbing is if you are an alpine climber, or are very weak in the legs and routinely climb in places with monster approaches. You're doing anaerobic intervals for your legs and cardio. Should help your mtn biking though.
Vests themselves aren't ideal in my experience. Especially for any climbing activity as they put the weigh on your traps/neck and by doing so make your shoudler articulations different since you are typically in a hands overhead position when climbing. I cringe anytime I see people doing it in the gym (and if it was my gym, I'd get rid of the things). If you want to go that route, better to use something around the waist like a diver's weight belt.
On the lower back piece, std barbell squats, deadlifts, & heavy kettlebell swings are great. Only caution is that barbell squats are difficult for most to maintain good form, especially without a partner/coach evaluating form and if you're prone to cheat them and not go below parallel.
