Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

Picked these warlocks up about a few weeks ago and have seen tremendous progress in my climbing. I had looked at hangboards for a long time, but was always turned away by the risk of elbow injury with too many pull ups, which I heavily emphasize in training. I found the metolius rock ring workout pretty hard ( I am still having to cheat a little on the 2 finger pocket), but on the overall these things are rad. The ease of set up is also a huge turn-on: when the weather is decent, I sling some old rope over a tree branch and do the workout outside after a run (try doing that with a hangboard). Portable, way cheaper than hangboards, and promote open handedness with ease. Get them.

Service and delivery comments:

Every REI order receipt, "Ships within 4-14 business days," and yet they somehow show up 2 days later!

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

Absolutely excellent product. I hang the rock rings from a pull-up bar, and use them to train my finger strength. They promote open-hand technique, and I've seen a marked improvement in my climbing since I started training with these.

While I used to crimp much too often, I've trained myself to use open hand holds more often thanks to the rings. I used to climb at a 5.10b-d level but could not progress any further because of finger and joint pain. After a good period of rest (1 month), and another month of progressive training with the rock rings, I no longer experience inflammation or pain in my fingers; I climb around a 5.11a-c level now.

The rotation of the cord also lessens injury to my wrists, elbows and shoulders (unlike training boards)

Highly recommended for an intermediate climber who is beginning to hit their limit with contact strength.

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

I do not climb as much as I would like, but I am a fan of pull-ups - these training holds perfectly complement any pull-up related exercises. They are easily strapped onto a bar to combine finger and wrist muscle toning with the same effect as the "Perfect Pull-Up". The workout plan that came with the instructions was enough to smoke me in 30 minutes.
Some people claim that the holds are too small; I wear a large-size glove and fit my fingers just fine.

These holds are easy to put up and easy to take down. They're a great supplemental trainer for your own home or gym. All you need is a beam or a bar to put them up on and you're set!

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

I got two wiregate carabiners and used them to attach the rock rings to the beam on my porch, works like a charm. good for pullups and for core training especially if you lower them to do tri-cep dips. For [$] you CAN'T beat it.

Service and delivery comments:

the delivery was the best I have experienced in my whole life. I ordered them tuesday lunch time and there were there friday at lunch. VERY FAST.

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

I train for increased upper body strength,flexibility,and endurance with these rings. They can be used indoor or outdoor and there is a certain level of skill development that manifests itself while training with them. If used indoor at a gym its a good way to make new friends as many people will approach you and inquire about them. Chicks dig me while I'm on these things for some reason so that's a plus too. Great product at a very affordable price.

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

Just got these home and mounted them, they seem like a nice alternative to a hangboard. The problem I notice is that they are pretty small. The mid sized "four finger edge" only fits 3 of my average sized fingers, even my girlfriend who has small hands can't really fit all four pads on there and hang. The "3 finger pocket" is actually a two finger pocket. Not a big deal except that there is no small edge for me to train all my fingers on.

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

gone indoors, to work on technique, strength. got these to keep or build strength, in place of having to pay the monthly fee to go indoors. it does a very good job to work out the muscles mostly needed. these work just as good as the other bigger workout holds but for alot less. i really like the work out list it gives. if your looking for something to help with technique your going to have to use a rock wall.

I mounted mine on beam works very well

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

these are especially sweet because you can mount a couple of inconspicuous hooks on the wall in your room or at work-- :) -- and then you can keep the rock rings in your desk and just hang em up when ever you want to use them. Great work outs are possible, for your abs as well as your forearms and back. usually 15 minutes is enough to get me really pumped
