Default pegboard training for insane upper body strength

Have any of you guys used a pegboard climber?? Unbelievable workout. Since the guys in our club have started using these, our upper body strength has improved dramatically. Great for abs, shoulders, arms, grip strength, balance and co-ordination. The explosive force used to climb from one hole to the next is transferred to the mat when grappling. I want to see if anyone here has used them and what they think of them.
Here's a guy using them (i stole this video off youtube, but i'll post a video of us using them soon).

Wow! Nice video!

I haven't seen peg boarding before, looks intense to say the least!!

So have you got this set up in your gym waggy? Do you manage the full run?

I'm keen to give one of these a go!

Default pegboard training

We've just had them installed in the past month. I'll get you some videos up as soon as possible. I train in our club, but the manager has some great strength training ideas. Nearly all using bodyweight resistance. Weights in your own time if you wish.... tough training
