ryanb Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I have an old nicros warrior board I'd sell for a reasonable price...I'm not crazy about the design and replaced it with something less curved and with more edges. I'm located in magnolia. Quote
boadman Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 What does it look like? There are a bunch of different ones on the interweb. This? http://www.rei.com/product/670953 Quote
ryanb Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Its that shape but i think it is light blue instead of white, possibly with dark blue stripes...I can dig it out when I get home. It has a good variety of jugs and pockets but I found I wanted more slopers and some edges between the sizes it has. Quote
boadman Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 No one really seems to like it in the reviews. I've got the newer metolius simulator at my office. It's a really nice one. Quote
ryanb Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah I'm not crazy about the nicros but its fine if you just want something to do pull ups off of...if any one else wants to buy it let me know. I replaced it with the beastmaker 2000 which is the best board money can buy in my opinion. I'm curious why you want two hangboards in your life? I consider myself a hang board addict but I really feel that the key to getting strong and staying uninjured it so limit oneself to 1-2 weekly sessions and warm up slowly with sets of dead hangs and repeaters (see the training articles here: http://www.beastmaker.co.uk/training%20page2.htm) on easy holds before you even think about touching the harder holds...people who just do a few pull ups with out warming up every time you walk past tend to be the people who pull tendons and give hangboarding its bad reputation.

Kimmo Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Good hangboard recipe: -3' by 2' piece of 3/4" ply -3' strip of 3/4", 1/2", and 1/4" trim -maybe coupla pieces of 2" by 4" for pinches Screw everything on, screw unit on wall, and start hanging! Use 1 or 2 finger open hand to train pockets, etc etc. Quote
boadman Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I want one at my folks house so I can train when I'm up there. I go up there probably over a month out of the year and I get antsy if I can't train at all. It's a lot lower profile than a climbing wall. Oh, and I usually do repeaters about 2 or three times a week. I like the metolius 10 minute work outs for warm ups. I try to do them about 4 days a week. I think hangboards are way easier on my body than the gym. Every time I've had a tendon injury it's from doing something dynamic in the gym or outside. It's a lot easier to pay attention to your body on the hangboard. Edited February 19, 2011 by boadman Quote
