Some of the Austrian sportsmeds have apparently been seeing lots of capsule injuries. They're recommending that you avoid bone-hanging even on routes, at least when training or doing easier stuff. And yeah, keep the shoulder girdle depressed when doing dead hangs or one-arms.

So let me get this straight -

Your saying the opinion of yourself and gabor are sound and well-founded? Do you even know what sound means?

Yes! They are testing the truth of the conclusion, and the validity of the claim. Not the validity of the conclusion.

Jay maybe salty, but he also tends to be right a lot. SCC is a pretty good resource.

OTOH pullups have improved my upper body strength and have helped my climbing in some areas, but PUs are also far from an end all. I'm not an exercise expert, so I'll leave my opinion at that. Whatever works for you....

In reply to:
Would it then be best to train deadhangs in a slightly flexed aspect? Just enough to put the stress into the muscle and not into the joint?

In my opinion, yes. I was a recurrent shoulder dislocator for years. Pure dead hangs remain painful and scary to this day, and I wouldn't even attempt a single arm dead hang. Biomechanically, if you train dead hangs for contact strength, it probably doesn't matter whether your elbows are flexed or not.

I like Joe Friel's assertion, as well. The only caveat I'd add is, it depends a bit on the muscle groups, and the definition of "several" days. If you are an NFL lineman, training quads, hams, and glutes via deadlifts, squats, stiff leg deads, etc., that might take 5-7 days to recover enough to do the same workout.

I agree. In fact, in most cases, I tend to agree with him on the science.

Personality-wise, I'd have some other words rather than "salty", but when I insult someone, I do it to his face.

What I am trying to get across to you is that your definition of validity is wrong. Truth is not the same as validity. Because you corrected someone else by replacing "important" with "valid", i felt compelled to correct you on your incorrect usage of "valid".

By the way, it is impossible for your argument against pull ups to be sound - that would require the evidence (that even you admit is nonexistent) supporting pull ups being detrimental to climbing ability. Of course, you must know this... being that you assert that your opinions are sound and well-founded.

Who was responsible for brainwashing you into believing that the only valid use of the term "valid" is in logic? Take a look at the field of psychometrics, for instance. They have more kinds of validity than Eskimos have words for "snow."

In statistics, validity is a measure of how close to the truth something is (that's a simplified definition, of course). If the truth is that Training Regimen X is best, and Mr. 5.14's training recommendations are closer to Regimen X than Mr. 5.13's are, then Mr. 5.14's training recommendations (ie, his opinion) are more valid. We can even do a study to estimate the validity of Mr. 5.14's recommendations vs. those of Mr. 5.13. We can even quantify the validity of each training regimen using a quantity called the validity coefficient (r), which ranges from 0 to 1; 0 means that the thing being tested has no relation to the truth, 1 means that it is a perfect representation of the truth; values in between are less than perfect, but still valid to some extent. If Mr. 5.14's r is greater than Mr. 5.13's, then Mr. 5.14's opinion is more valid. Sorry if that doesn't go along with what you were taught in Logic 101. Next time try Statistics 501, or more simply, reread the definitions of "validity" from dictionary.com that I have posted twice.

You took stats 501? You think THAT is statistical validity?

"Truth" exists in philosophy and religion.

"statistics" are numbers calculated on sample data that quantifies a characteristic of tha sample. Statistics may be descriptive (regression, correlation) or inferential.(power, ANOVA, etc.)

Stats are not about truth, but about probability. Even at p=.0001, one in ten thousand (on average) will be an outlier.

When put into the context of arguments... like pull ups help climbing. I think it fits. Also, it goes along with what you posted as your "internet definition" of validity (5) of an ARGUMENT:

In reply to:
5. Logic. (of an argument) so constructed that if the premises are jointly asserted, the conclusion cannot be denied without contradiction.

Also,

In reply to:

So what you are saying is... when you replaced "important" with "valid" you were referring to the study conducted on your opinion vs his that revealed an r coefficient of 1 for yours and 0 for his? Of course! That would allow you to then say your opinion is more "valid" than his, however, I don't think that was your intent... as it is obvious you have not conducted such a study. So you then scoured the internet looking for a definition of "valid" that would fit with what you said... even if it then made you contradict your previous words.

Your opinion (and mine) is still false, statistically invalid, whatever you prefer to call it. I like: untested.

Perhaps to end this debate we should collect a sample of the people on rc.com and test the statistical validity of pull ups predicting climbing grade? Or simply test the Granger causality?... I bet it would be significant both ways!

Looks like amidst all this shit there's some good info for you Stagg. Dunno if this one is also on there (not going to read all 200 posts) but I do this a lot and it helps both my pull ups and my climbing. Hanging is great for shoulder and back strength. Grasp the bar with both hands straight arm. Let go with one arm and hang for 10 seconds. Then switch for ten. Go back and forth until failure. You'll find this really strengthens your shoulders and back, as well as your hand strength. All of these aid in your pull up routine, and it can serve as a nice low impact alternative to some of the other stuff on here. I also really like the pyramid routine mentioned earlier in this forum.

Campus training is most effective when focused on your fore-arms. If you're training your shoulders/biceps to failure while campusing, then you're on holds that are too big. I have a female friend who cannot do a single pull-up, and has climbed 5.13 sport and 5.12 trad. Steve McClure, one of the strongest most well rounded climbers out there can barely do 10. The majority of strong climbers would agree that they fail on difficult routes because their fingers aren't strong enough.

Really have to watch the pea under the thimble, folks, the burden has shifted from "objectivity" to "subjectivity"...

Speaking of "well-established kineologic principles", why are you unwilling to consider the moment arm of the humerus on the glenoid fossa during a pullup (which you dislike), in comparison to campusing (which you recommend)?
