Fitness Standards For Industries

My original question referred to them as an indicator of strength in a climbers arms, so do you not agree strength and stamina have some bearing on climbing and speed of working?

I appreciate modern aids help but I thought strength and fitness, both physical and mental was what this thread is about.

 

The body will adapt to the stresses placed upon it.I can do 12 body weight pull ups but they wont make me a better climber,just better at doing pull ups.

To become a better climber its better to practise climbing or just climb every day.

There are merits to keepin fit by whatever means you see fit but resistance training by hypertrophy has no real influence in how one performes aloft in my opinion.

It's a lot like a cop, unable to scale a six foot brick wall.

But the ones who can't scale could probably run through 'em:biggrin:

Apparently, if the "perp" is more than 10 strides and running, in some states you are allowed to shoot them. I am sure I saw that on the internet somewhere

I could get over a six foot wall in no time, (I've Always been good at running off),Trying to get up that rope, with another bit of rope (can't remember what is called) wrapped around is no fun.

Perhaps a bit of mechanical advantage can trump the fit blokes Eggs?

That's how I would have done it........ In my youth.

[Stephen Blair]

I remember trying to climb skinny poles in the woods with a strop between my feet when I was 20

Never managed it!

I coulda been a contender...

 

I coulda been a somebody...

 

But life's rough on the water front.

I would be interested to know why a climber would need to do a chin up, one handed or otherwise

 

I'm only a groundie but I can lift both my chins with one hand.

I struggle with the idea of taking the physical fitness aspect out of the proper tree pruning equation, or at least minimizing it drastically.

 

The future of mechanizing this biz beyond recognition won't take much longer IMO.

 

Whether you weigh 150 or 350 lbs won't matter, the umbilical crane trucks will enable any harvey homeowner to rent one and prune their own trees exactly how they like em!

 

Hell even granny'll be up there, floatin like a butterfly n stingin like a bee!
