I have a massive risk averse nature and our current changing future (at work) fills me with fear TBH, some of it is just the way things are but I think we’re taking unnecessary risks.

Sounds like a boys night out in Blackpool is needed to talk it through.
No Spoons though. Don’t live in Spoons, its a way of life (non-life) for some.

I saw something a few days ago extending those if you can do this you’ll live longer\forever etc.!
This was a dead hang as a guide to grip strength and forearms etc., 30 seconds sounded alright, 60 for our age was excellent apparently. Anyway, had a quick go today and got to about 50 seconds. But, I’d done upper arm weights last night with slightly heavier weights, and had also been on the exercise bike so my hands were sweaty and slipping.
Going to give it another go in a few days.

Anna would probably hang for ages as well! A few others are climbers on here?
They’re probably not trying to hold up 76kg’s though

I do 2x 1min 30 hangs in the gym every Friday. Makes a big difference what your hanging from though, how much grip you can get on it.

Why are we competing to hang from a bar the longest again?
There’s not greater benefit from a longer hang is there?
It’s not the muscular/sinew pain that stops me on those it’s the pads in my southern dandy paws that becomes excruciating
