Why don't climbers developing new routes post here
jon replied to Thinker's topic in Rock Climbing Forum
How is it that people can be so critical of cc.com but are unwilling to listen to criticisms of their own actions? -
The video was taken recently. People who commit crimes typically return to the scene, and in this case it looks like they did and they got it on tape. A crime was committed, who cares if there is a camera in the forest.

323.3 baby. Don't head home too late fellas!

There are some Colorado people here but also check out climbingboulder.com

Tim gets all the credit here, he really went to town.

Give my boss a call and I'm sure he'll get me right on it.

And who is arguing we should do that?

Scott my suggestion to you is never use any drugs if you get sick. Better stop taking vitamins too because scientists found out they are good for you. You better stop using shampoo and soap too because scientists develop those and make sure they don't harm your body. Your religion arguement is completely assnine. Catholic priests fuck young boys. Scientists lie because they are desperate for dwindling grant money. Bush wants to go to Mars, he wants to do this and that, and guess who's budget is getting reduced because of it? NIH. Expect to see more lying.

Another study showed that 50% of investment specialist cheated their clients out of money. What's your point?

I emailed some Portland shops but never really got a response from any. Sorry.

That's funny Trask, you used to suck, and still suck. If you guys have some constructive criticisms you are welcome to send them my way.

Better take Yao Ming as a partner if you plan on doing that chimney.

....desperately trying to say absolutely nothing quite loudly....

Please support these guys. They make it possible for us to have reliable website hosting which is expensive. Without them we could end up like the Mountaineers message board, which went into meltdown and has appeared to lose all of their content with no luck of restoring it.

Did you just read The Elegant Universe or something?

Aging is based on tons of thingss, including your chromosomes becoming shorter. Time is based on speed, not where you are. If you go to Mars and come back you will be the same age as if you had stayed here.

All of you need to shut the fuck up. There are 18 moderators, either picked by me or the other moderators. They represent all view points and don't agree with each other. They do make intelligent arguements, compromises, and make decisions on what best for the overall group, which is more than I can say for most of you. More importantly, they give a shit. I do not. Be glad it's not me moderating your ass.

Didn't I tell you to fucking beat it?

And what are those exceptions? Who decides what those exceptions are? Who decides what to do when something is an exception?

Someone please ban me and put me out of my misery.

That and Super Troopers are all time classics. Broken Lizard is coming out with a new movie too.

Ok Will I've found some time. I have played and play a whole bunch of different sports and activities from co-rec volleyball to Div I Football, and as I get older and wiser and my body isn't as forgiving I've changed my philosophies on how to train. This is based on coaching, reading, knowledge from my profession, and most of all experience. I don't claim to know more then someone, I just know what has worked for me. As far as strengthening legs here is what I've learned. First and foremost you have to have a goal. Doesn't make sense to kill your knees doing heavy squats if you are just trying to increase your muscular endurance. So figure out exactly what you want out of it. For instance my goal for my last four months was to get my squat max around 400 and I did that. When you are developing your plan around your goal make sure the exercises you are doing make sense for what you are trying to accomplish, i.e. doing exercises that are close to the movements your would be doing. For instance when I squat my feet are shoulder width apart knees straight forward. Theoretically this is the "harder" way to do it but it is actually easier on your knees and has my legs spaced just like they would be if i was pedaling a bike or hiking. After I develop the strength I will develop the power by doing exercises on the bike and hiking with a heavy pack. Remember that all of this is just my opinion. My big thing I'm into right now, well one of them at least, is recovery, that's why I recommended that book. I won't even loan that book to my friends because I constantly am referencing it. Getting stronger basically boils down to stressing the muscles and letting them recover. If they don't recover they don't get stronger. By maximizing your recovery, like accelerating amino acid intake and glycogen regeneration post workout, you can get either stronger or have to do less to get there, or even both. What's great about recovery is that you can incorporate it into your daily life, literally maximizing your potential by just making simple changes like hitting your peak insulin response right after your workout. Another thing which kind of falls in the recover thing is if I feel like crap, either with a cold or my body is just really worn down, or I haven't eaten properly during the day, I don't do my workout because it's not damaging my body more then it can repair itself. Something I am big into is going into your lifting with a fairly developed cardio capacity. There are many reasons for this; ligament strengthening, mitochondria development, muscle cell wall strengthening, and capillary development. By having this you decrease your chance for injury and increase the ability of your muscles to recover and make gains, especially with the capillary development because the more developed it is, the easier it is to bring in the nutrients and flush out the toxins. My program for this fall and winter which I'm finished with now went something like this. I spent 4 weeks 3 times per week just preparing my body for the lifting, so I started VERY light and moved up about ten pounds per workout. Here I was doing about 3 sets of 5 with the last set at 10, and about every workout that 10 became less by one, so by the time I reached the end where I was going to do a max strength test I my reps was around 3. The next three weeks I did a thing that supposedly helps with neurological recruitment of muscle fibers. It basically is doing a set of 4 light and then a set of 2 heavy and alternating back and for about 7 sets on each lift, increasing 10 pounds per day, and I think that was three times a week. Then I took a rest week. Then I did two weeks of volume work that was modeled after what the East Germans developed, I did one day where I did like 5 sets of 10 reps pretty damn heavy, and then a light day on a friday. This workouts were excruciatingly hard, like about to cry hard, but the gain from the first to second and second to next first Max week were enormous. Took another rest period and then did Max Strength for 5 weeks, similarly modeled like the first four weeks in sets and reps. The lifts I did, back and front squats, leg curls, sled, straight leg and normal dead lift, and calves. Last but most important, I never did any lower body cardio for longer then 10 minutes on my lifting days. From what I've been told, you want to use your anaerobic energy systems, so your ATP-CP and glycolysis pathways, when you are lifting heavy weights and develop those. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes for your aerobic pathway to become fully functional (reason why you should take warming up in general seriously) so that is why you don't want to go over 10. Hope this helps.
