Grip diameter, arm pump, and finger pain

I guess the Internet was a different place a dozen years ago.
So clean, so earnest, so...?
I use this before every summer trip to Morzine.
it helped me.
you need to do as many times as you can.
50 pumps every hand
than hold it squeeze for 50 sec.
then again and again like 5 times.
do this day on day off.

Yaaa....
It's obvious to me that your not mixing up the hands... gotta switch hit, maybe start with some girl w/ banana to get the monkey juices flowing.
Less lotion, Moar rawdawg?
Rock climbing
true! forgot about that
did indoor rock climbing once with a buddy and your right..gnarly upperbody/forearm/finger workout
I started climbing at the age of 15, sold all my gear at 20 when I bought my first DH bike only to buy stuff again at 23 when I started to take the racing a bit more serious and saw the climbing as a perfect addition to training. It's also very good for body balance and control, you get real good core power out of it if done right and frequently.
This, many times over. I don't even get "arm pump" while climbing anymore, but you look at anyone who does it infrequently or for the first time, they're constantly trying to un-screw their tendons after a little climbing. There are a lot of reasons I do rock climbing and bouldering and I think it helps a lot with my mtb.
