It may look like just a door frame. But this I've found is an extremely effective training tool for maximizing your time. Not all of us have time to spend in the climbing gym everyday or walls we want smeared with chalk and bore out by hangboards. But all of us feel that itch in the fingers at least once a day, calling us to climb anything. Sitting in a meeting, or even in your own office considering how easy it would be to negotiate your body between the wall and a bookshelf ever so delicately imitating a crack climb. Or how each individual move of your current crux haunts you to the point of running the sequence over and over in your mind as you gaze off into nothing. And as I have found there door frames all around us are a great place to get a quick fix. You can do hangs, lock-offs, and even some campus training moves off of them.
Suggested exercise each morning:
5sets of Hangs (start with 5 seconds and 1 minute intervals)
10sets of Pullups (start with 3 pullups per set and see if you can make it to the end. If you can, increase numbers not sets.)
5sets of Lockoffs (locking for 10 seconds is great, if you can get to 15 second locks you will be a monster soon)
Supplement that each morning with 300 quick crunches (more on this later) and loads of water. Eggs work really well for keeping you fueled and strong.
