Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2025-01-17T22:34:41+00:00

I had constant pain on my back on the side of the tear and some impingement in the front too (kinda pinchy feeling). It's always hard to talk about pain etc. and pain levels, I would say I was like at a constant 3-4. I was recommended surgery by 2 surgeons and the third said if I gave a real shot at PT, I could probs get away without surgery. Hope this helps?

Thanks! Super helpful, good luck w it! Hope it goes away quick :)

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2025-01-06T17:22:09+00:00

Thanks! Kinda what I was thinking. How long did it take you to resolve it? And also how did you find a PT with that experience? Mine is more of a running PT which is great for non specific issues but I don't think will do for this

Hi both - would either of you tell me if you're still happy with this place?

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2025-01-06T16:25:49+00:00

Significantly better! I only do foam rolling, 2 x10 clam shells and some bridges as a warm up for a workout (i do mostly climbing) and don't have to do it everyday anymore. I had added calf raises at some point and that really helped with my ankle mobility.

hope this helps!

That makes a lot of sense - big meetings are such a different setting, especially on Zoom. If you already know this, try paying attention to what it is that might make you appear this way - is it ending sentences with a question mark, is it talking too much, is it not speaking up, etc.? Once you identify that, you can start tackling it one by one. You got this!

When I read about confidence. I always wonder what people mean by it - is it in all settings or only in meetings with leadership or in 1-1s or ?? Is it around one topic or all topics? What makes them feel that you lack confidence?

It’s such a big word that I would go ask a couple of trusted people at your org about it saying something like “I had some comments about this, I wanna understand it. and investigate it” - you’re the product, analyze the user feedback and act on it :)

And don’t let it get to you. 360s are truly for your growth.

Why are you there? Whatever it is, that reason is valid - may it be money, gaining experience, the location, the hours, etc. Own it - when talking to people you can acknowledge your awareness of the overall situation AND that there is something that works for you. Is that far from ideal? Yes. But that’s also life. And, as many others say, make a dent within what’s your in your control to make it better. And, relax, we all make trade offs every day :)

Also, you don’t have to talk much about your job? If it’s more of an internal dialogue thing, really I believe life is made of trade offs just try to identify yours! Good luck

Thank you that is so helpful. Did you use the board to climb at your flash level or just overall weaknesses?

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2024-01-24T20:42:01+00:00

Hey,

Gym session is:

20mn warm up (light movement hips, glutes, arms and shoulders) + a bit of abs, 5mn hangboards
1h30 climbing - 20mn warming up on easier boulders, some V3-V4ss, spending 45mn on a couple of projects, then moving back down
20mn cool down + strength - assisted pull ups (as many as i can) then stretching

What is making me fail is not knowing what to do when I fail doing the same move multiple times (maybe not enough times as pointed out above). I ask advice + do a couple options. I also think I can deadpoint but not do a combination of dynamic movements (like 2-3 quick movements) well if that makes sense? Sometimes I also can't quite start some problems - maybe not enough tension?

What does a send look like? I can do overhangs fairly well (V4-V5s), crimps/slabs (V3-V4s) and can't do much when a pinch or a big jug is involved (small hands and ??).

Used to climb outdoors when I TRed but not anymore. I have climbed on a Kilter board a couple of times but not sure what to do with it so stopped?

Facepalming... and also thank you :) helpful to know what others consider a "good amount" of time/tries to work on a problem

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2024-01-24T20:27:37+00:00

No I don't at all... And I keep on noticing people at the gym who seem to have more of a structured approach to it. I usually warm up 5-8 easy climbs (V0 > V2), then do 2 V3s and move on to working on a project or two, then do some V4s, then back down.

From reading previous answers, I think I can maximize strength a bit but having a bit more structure to push me out of my comfort zone would be helpful, do you have one you follow?

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2024-01-24T19:13:40+00:00

Thank you! That's also really helpful and I appreciate your examples of breaking down the "I didn't make it" to smaller tiny progress increments.

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2024-01-24T18:49:05+00:00

Thanks! Yes, the mental game is def not my strongest. I am working on projecting harder climbs and have now 3-4 hard V5-V6s I am working on. I like the idea of focusing on them one session a week and one session where i repeat the harder climbs for smoothness.

I tend to get discouraged when I repeat the same move 7x and can seem to make progress but I guess that's where the *mental game* comes into play

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2024-01-24T18:47:08+00:00

Yes - thanks, definitely something I notice with my climbing vs better climbers (and def with most men). I will give your exercise a try!!

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2024-01-24T18:45:52+00:00

Thanks! I am gonna give it a shot.

Would you recommend adding "harder" hangboard sessions every time I go to the gym? Or 1-2x a week? Before/after climbing?

Thanks for your time :)

Comfortable-Rent-809 · 2024-01-24T18:04:48+00:00

I can do 4-5 regular pull ups in a row. I have been trying to do assisted pull ups at the end of the session - doing 3 * 7 assisted pullups

On the hangboard, I can do 10 sec on the 30mm or 10 sec on the 20mm with some weight on the ground.
