I'm sorry some of you people think my advice above is crappy. The original poster asked why their forarms faild so quickly, and I tried to explain in fairly lamens terms what "getting pumped" means. I don't claim to be an expert, although I coach climbers for a living.
Most of what I said above comes straight from a recent Rock and Ice article I just read: "Pump Action, Improving your performance with aerobic and anaerobic conditioning." September 2006 Issue #153 pg88.
There is plenty of training info available through online and text resources.
From what I have read there isn't a single piece of "crappy" advice in this thread from anyone. The recomendation to get a hangboard should be followed with caution, and another post explained the risks involved with using a hangboard for beggining climbers. A hangboard can be an effective training tool if used properly and carefully. It can also blow up your tendons in a hurry, just like any training apparatus has the ability to cause damage if used incorrectly.
If you are really commited to training, build your own woody and buy a bunch of jugs. Get on it and stay on it for 30minutes +, that is about the best thing you could do for your climbing, until your local gym is finished.
Regards
Matt
