alternatively use a Powerball gyroscope. I’ve used these in the past to strengthen arm/hand muscles after injury

Ah that takes me back. I had one of those, must have been 15/20 yrs ago. Used to make my forearms cramp like mad! :joy:

I’ve got one sat in the draw here at work, don’t think it’s been out in the last 5 years though.

Walking through a city just recently we overheard two young kids talking as they passed us. The oldest was about 8 or 9 and the youngest 4 or 5.

Youngest: ‘Grandad is a veeeerrry old man.’
Oldest: ‘No he’s not. He’s only in his fifties’.

I agree, grandad sounds a sprightly young fella :rofl:

I had mine a couple of weeks ago Covid and flu in the same arm!
It was Spkevax (Moderna) apart from the sore arm I felt fine. Then a little tired.
Then it felt like my tennis elbow was coming back, so I wondered if it was causing that!
All quite mild, so not worth complaining about.

Yep - Spikevax here as well. Had some flu like symptoms for 24hrs after the last Covid Booster which was also Moderna, so let’s see how this one goes.

Yep, there’s lots of other ways as everyone has said.
I used to do one finger lifts carrying shopping bags home, switching fingers every minute

If only :joy:

Being able to do that kind of thing is much less useful than non climbers might imagine (as I’m sure you know).
Good footwork is the key

All those years of ballet have come in useful for climbing.
