drater Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Who fucking cares bitches just go climbing. 35 degrees and rain/sleet mix last 2 days, also next 4 days forecasted. I think I'll keep spraying. Admit it, you just ate a cheeseburger Two of them, but without the bun. The mrs. has me on some bullshit low carb diet, guess she found the six pack sexier than the pony keg I'm rocking now. No carbs+no outdoor recreation for 4 days=spray queen.

sexual_chocolate Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 So blowboarder, are you just fat now, or did you get all muscley? Just curious, cuz you still work out and shit. BTW, I just started doing weighted pull-ups again, and am psyched. Got to two #45 plates three reps. Next comes one-arm negatives with a #45 plate. And glassgow, I don't think forearm muscles are the only factor. I was a skinny weakling, and after hitting the weights and putting on 10 lbs, I came out way stronger. On endurance routes too. I think cuz it was just easier to pull.... And...I'm climbing way stronger than I ever did in my twenties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) that's cuz you're actually training now as opposed to your twenties... don't kid a kidder!!! Edited December 8, 2004 by RuMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drater Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 So blowboarder, as you just fat now, or did you get all muscley? Just curious, cuz you still work out and shit. BTW, I just started doing weighted pull-ups again, and am psyched. Got to two #45 plates three reps. Next comes one-arm negatives with a #45 plate. Both! When I was climbing at my highest level (not very high at that & no I don't mean my bakedest level smartasses) I weighed 160-170 pounds depending on if I was road tripping or living easy with a fridge and TV with a body fat percentage between 4 & 8 percent (caliper test, take it as you will). Now, much less time to climb ( and no time to roadtrip) but more time to weight train as it fits into family orientated lifestyle better. So, functional strenth up, lean body mass up, body fat up, probably around 12-15% (guessing on that one, scared to find out for sure). Climbing level down, although multiple A2 injuries now fully healed, enjoyment of climbing up, spray level weigh up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 True dat. In my twenties I thought training was to be scorned, looked down upon as something impure and compromising.... Funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drater Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Next comes one-arm negatives with a #45 plate. Just a thought on these. Seriously stressful on tendons/ligaments in elbow & shoulder structures, also because of different type of stress (isometric, isotonic, I can't remember, I'm sure someone will correct me shortly) more recovery time is needed. Very high intensity exercise, best used in small doses. Don't even think about doing them again if you're still sore from last time...it's a different soreness than what you get from conventional weight training.

RuMR Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 THERE is the one main difference between your twenties and your thirties...i feel like i need a solid 3 to 4 days of rest after a good thrashing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) Hah, I've been told I'm a late bloomer: Now I can climb pretty hard multiple days in a row.... Perhaps now in my thirties I'm where most people are in their twenties? (Oops, wrong emoticon!)

cracked Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I think Colin and I are very nearly of exactly the same age. Weren't you the one trying desperately to gain weight before going ice climbing, Dru? Punter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
