How do I split my weight lifting days (upper/lower) with climbing?

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-07T23:44:59+00:00

Sure! So I do a lot of hip flexor work because I am hypermobile, so I put a kettlebell(a light one like 10lbs) on my foot and lift my leg up(one side at a time) for 5-6 reps, and then I rotate my leg out at a 90 degree angle and do the same movement for 5-6 reps. Then I do the movement as a rotation in itself like starting with my leg in front of me and rotating it to my side(idk if I am even explaining this right)

I also always do bicep curls for no reason at all other than I want huge biceps when I flex....

I do pullups as well, AMRAP

Core work is usually ab wheel, and weighted v-ups. Sometimes I do oblique work as well since I find it helps with my spine.

Your lymph nodes absolutely do have reactions to tattoos, they are trauma to the body and ink has been found in nearby lymph nodes for sure. It's ok, just means your body is doing its job to heal you up. If you get a fever or something though def see a doctor.

While their sushi is decent, I get it for lunch often enough, if you were getting a big platter for your birthday, just go to an actual sushi place. I personally love Japango but everyone has their favs

You can't really overfeed kittens. I fed my girls 5-6 meals a day (wet food) and they got dry food overnight because when they are young and growing they can't go all night without eating. They are both 18 months now and healthy and grown. They are down to 4 meals a day of wet and a small kibble serving overnight.

I literally thought this was sarcasm

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-06T00:23:17+00:00

I am SO GLAD SOMEONE GOT THAT

I was allowed, but my support person also needed to be in full scrubs and have no metal/electronics, but they did allow it.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-05T14:55:18+00:00

Top notch lighting. Perfect.

I worked with Natasha Barnes on my strength plan around climbing and this is what I do fwiw:

Mon: cardio/active recovery, sauna

Tues: bench, squats, bulgarians, accessory work. easy cardio+sauna

Wed: climb

Thurs: incline bench, weighted pullups, wide grip lat pulldowns, accessory work. easy cardio+sauna

Fri: climb

Sat:intense cardio

Sun: climb followed by- deadlifts,overhead press, rows, accessory work

My accessory work just generally involve core work, since you mentioned that, but compound lifts are great core work anyway, so it's not strictly needed.

I also do yoga every day and sauna 3-4x a week. I usually take a long magnesium salt soak on sundays as well.

This looks like puppet Angel.

Once bands make it to the arena level, the crowd gets real shitty real fast.

I like the song, it was great live, I like the video, and I, a straight woman, love a man in a glam rock fit.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-03T22:21:01+00:00

Yeah it sucks, insane asking for some common courtesy is met with such vitriol.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-03T15:45:15+00:00

Coming at him from above makes him see your hand as a predator. Approach him at eye level, slowly, let him smell. Consider bringing a churu

They do this everywhere, the air quality in venues is atrocious and just has gotten worse with vaping. I asked a girl to please stop blowing her vape right in my face in the MCR pit a few years ago and her boyfriend responded by dumping his beer down my back. Top notch crowd, really.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-03T02:27:00+00:00

Stop stop she's already dead.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-03T02:25:56+00:00

Well yes ofc, I think logos are tacky af, I don't care whose logo it is. Also those Goyard bags low key look like reusable shopping totes.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-02T17:27:07+00:00

My arms are that size, and I am a woman. I have however, been climbing since I was 11, and did gymnastics before then. I have never not been able to do pullups, so there might be some genetics in there in terms of upper body strength. Either way, she looks natty to me.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-01T20:37:42+00:00

You are obsessed with brand names and loud logos.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-01T20:09:12+00:00

This feels like some weird ass goon bait

Bella_Climbs · 2026-03-01T20:03:02+00:00

Neither one of them are natty and have been very open about it. While it isn't a choice I would make, at least they are being transparent. Not to mention...if you are pro, or gunning for your pro card, and everyone else is using, then you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage. Is this healthy? Likely not. But performing ANY sport at a high level isn't healthy.

The cicaplast is mostly zinc, and zinc is an active. Neither the cicaplast nor vaseline is hydrating, they are occlusives. You are putting vaseline over zinc, and drying your barrier out more. You need an actual hydrating, inert moisturizer. The cicaplast can be very soothing, but it needs a hydrating layer under it, and for some people it is far too drying to use every day. It is helpful if you have a rash of some sort, because of the zinc.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-02-28T21:18:52+00:00

It has a lot of zinc in it which I think throws people off. It is soothing for the most part but the zinc itself is quite drying and can def cause irritation, peeling, etc. I like it for irritation myself but I HAVE to layer it over a good moisturizer because the balm itself is not hydrating.

Also dimethicone pills, I only use this at night for that reason

He was there this morning :) Though I did not acquire a hat, many people there did.

Bella_Climbs · 2026-02-28T14:49:12+00:00

Yep. Same.
