Atomik Climbing Holds is Awesome
|
I just want to give Kenny and the rest of Atomik Climbing Holds some love for going above and beyond when it comes to customer service. I have been incorporating pinches into my hangboard training for about a year. Like an idiot, I didn't do much research on it and just started hanging from the pinches on my hangboard. After about six months I had some pretty steady pain/discomfort in my thumbs. I got a diagnosis of de quervain's tenosynovitis. After doing some research (if you're interested see Eva Lopez's piece here en-eva-lopez.blogspot.com/2…) it appears that training pinches with the wrists bent basically invites this type of condition. |

Having been through a similar experience, I can say that Atomik really is the best! |

Have to second this. Atomik is awesome! |
|
I'm in agreement! |

Anyone pulled the trigger on the boulder wall? |

I have the boulder board in the mail. Gonna set it up as a system wall with Atomik holds. Will report back on the effectiveness. +1 for Atomik customer service. They forgot to include my hardware kit for in the package. I e-mailed them about it and received a response the same day...free upgrade on the hardware kit, no questions asked. |

Hey Jeff, |

The boulderboard is a great product, IMHO. If you have the space, I'd recommend getting the extenders. Its super easy to change the angle, easing it up a bit from the default angle (around 50 degrees) down to around 20 degrees. I'm 6' 3" and I've got room to make 4-5 move problems. Right now I have it set up as a systems board, and it works perfectly for that purpose. The construction is extremely stout, and isn't as much of an eyesore in the living room as something constructed out of wood (at least, anything I'm capable of making, which isn't much). The pullup bar on top is beefy, and has 2 holes in the cross bars that allow you to hang stuff from (right now I have 2 of the Atomik bombs hanging from them). |

rather than start a new thread I saw this one and thought I would bump it. I recently got some holds from Kenny at Atomik and found his service and the quality of the holds and bolts to be awesome. Great company. Thanks Kenny ;) |
