Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

I use my two rock rings about 4 times a week as a training tool. They were very well priced and allow me to train at home with minimal setup requirements. They can setup almost anywhere and do not require a permanent location unlike other training boards. Only complaint is that it takes a little bit of time to set up but that's only due to my location and inability to set them up inside.

Comments about Metolius Rock Rings 3D Training Holds:

I bought these right when I started getting into climbing to work on my finger strength. They worked great in my home, but I needed to pick up some extra rope to hang them well on a tree. These alone will not get your finger strength to where you want it but they are a great tool to keep working your upper body on those days where the gym seems like too much work.

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.

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.
