I used to do a lot of ropeclimbing when I was younger, particularly from the time I was 20-24. I got out of it when I started finishing off the old high school credits and started university. Now that I've been doing so many chins as of late, I figured it might be the time to try the ropeclimbing.
Basically I climb about 20 ft up a knotted rope, knotted every 8 inches or so. Even though I've been getting 10 sets of 10 in the chins, this was damn hard. I kept a steady momentum and did 3 solid climbs up and down, using just my arms. My hands are sore and raw, and I felt weird pains in my forearms, biceps, and shoulders.
Feels good. In 3 or 4 days, I'll do it again and get 6 good climbs. It always adds muscle and great strength to my forearms, grip, and pulling muscles. Great for jiu jitsu.:partie:
