I see all this stuff about who drinks beer and sits aorund watching TV all day and stuff, does anyone actively participate in sports other than climbing? Lift weights? Just wondering what you all do to stay in shape.

Right now I'm working on a cross-training regime consisting of liberal amounts of studying multivariable calculus, interspersed with AA210 homework and some thermodynamics. Cheers! bigdrink.gif

 

When I have time I try to ski.

Soccer once a week, biking, yoga, running. My current winter training regime adds snowshoeing, sitting deskbound doing work (builds endurance and mental fortitude), and pulling plastic.

My wife and I are on a cardio based training for better climbing fitness.

We figure that we benifit the most from 2-3 days of either hiking or mtn biking a week. balanced with 2-3 days of climbing. Outside(Red Rocks) or inside(after work).

The best is to go biking at Blue Diamond in the morning, have a nice lunch and then go sport climbing in the Calico hills.

winter days in vegas can be cold (50!) so we make sure to have plenty of cocca and treats.

Twice a week or so I either take a helicopter or truck out into the woods and spend 6-8 hours sidehilling on steep slopes wearing rubber rain gear and a hard hat and rubber caulk boots. It works!

I just got back from the gym actually. Now I'm having a Pyramid Snowcap Ale and spraying bigdrink.gifwazzup.gif

 

Weights 3-5 times week, cardio 3 times week, recovery workouts (easy spinning to flush the system) the day after a hard workout, plastic couple times a week.

 

Today was a typical upper body weights workout while in the base phase of periodization. Looked something like this :

 

(12 reps on everything, weights in lbs)

Warm up 10 min easy spinning

Mil Press 6 sets - 65,80,95,100,105,110

Leg Adduction 5 sets - 125,130,135,140,145

Leg Abduction 5 sets - 50,65,90,90,95

Bench Press 5 sets - 135,145,155,165,170

Pullups - 6 sets

Back extension 4 sets 80,80,90,90

Cool down with 10min spinning

 

Tomorrow I'll have a long aerobic workout (spinning or stairmaster) at about 140bpm (my HRmax is about 190, anathreshold around 170 depending on activity).

 

Day after that, recovery spinning in the AM and probably some enduro session on plastic at night.

 

The most imporant aspect to training...plenty of the proper fuel...I suggest Jubel Ale, and Lucky Lab's Stumptown Porter on nitro. bigdrink.gif

cardio 2 times a week plastic once a week twice if I can.. yoga 3 x a week and I have been trying to add weights in once a week but can't seem to make the time yet... although I DID do 9 assited pull ups yesterday ( 55lbs assistance)

I ate 6 carrots in a row last night. This will enable me to leave the headlamp behind on fast and light epic.

The really sounded like you are whining(sp) about the temp being 50. Man that is perfect for sport climbing. Especially in Vegas where you can track the sun depending on how if feels.

A little could for the canyons though!!

People bag on Las Vegas all the time..."I could never live there!"

blah blah blah.

The fact is, This town is full of folks from Washington.

While YOU grow mold, WE are getting a tan.

Have a nice winter,

Will, I really hope you aren't neglecting your legs and hips. I just know you must be performing deadlifts and ass to grass squats on your "legs day". Grip and rip dude. thumbs_up.gif

 

PS: Reducing the volume (amount of sets) on your other lifts and throwing some bent rows in wouldn't hurt you either. That seems like an awful lot of volume to me (general rule is no more than 20 sets in a single workout), but, everyone's work capacity is different.

You are under the mistaken assumption that people on this board actually climb wazzup.gif

 

When I'm not working/spraying, I lift weights, run, do yoga, or gape.
