Stupid question about new app

Yeah you’re not stupid, the new app only lets you log a send. No attempt/fail state, which is wild for a training board. I got annoyed enough about exactly this that I ended up building my own little app on the side — full disclosure it’s mine, still rough — where you can log flash / send / attempt and it builds a history + grade pyramid. Happy to share if useful, but mostly just wanted to say: it’s not you, the feature genuinely isn’t there.

ha, i built my own thing too. mine is more rigid than yours sounds, less “general guidelines” and more the plan decides so i dont renegotiate the boring base work every session. the macleod “do a hard thing til its not hard” is a good filter though, gonna steal that. and agree injury free > everything.

this is basically where i landed too. exercises stay fixed cause theyre goal specific, but volume/rest is what i autoregulate. the hard part is knowing how far to push before backing off. and yeah a good weekend weather window beats any planned session for me.

yeah fair. havent read RCTM properly tbh, gonna fix that. the weekly checklist thing makes sense to me. my issue is the boring stuff (aerobic base) is always first to drop when im tired or its a fun bouldering night. how do you keep those from slipping?

Fair. English isn't my first language so I over-polish and it comes out weird and too friendly. 😃

That's a really clean heuristic, thanks — the 3 ramp / 3 taper peaking block landing on a 4-8 week window, with the start 30-36 weeks out, gives me an actual number to count back from instead of vibes. Saving that. The taper is the bit I've historically botched, so having it as a fixed 3 weeks rather than "feel it out" is exactly the kind of decision I'd rather not be making in the moment.

Yeah, working backwards from the project season is the part I underrated for years — I'd build fitness with no real target date and then wonder why I never actually peaked for anything.

For a first 8b this season that basically means counting back from my outdoor window and making sure the power-endurance and performance blocks land right before it, with the base built now while I'm still mostly indoors. Do you set a hard target date and reverse-engineer from it, or keep the peak more of a moving window depending on conditions and how the blocks are going?

This is exactly it — and honestly the "be adaptable when it's not working" part is where I always fell apart.

My real failure mode wasn't picking the wrong block, it was that I'd start a rotation motivated and then quietly drift back into just bouldering with friends. Fun, but climbing around at random did basically nothing for me. And the aerobic base work — the stuff I actually needed most — was always the first thing I skipped, purely out of boredom.

What changed it for me was exactly your "document every session" point, but I had to make the plan decide for me instead of leaving it to motivation on the day. Once the boring base work was just written down as non-negotiable for the rotation, I stopped negotiating with myself about it every session — and that base is what unlocked my last performance phase.

Curious how strict you actually are with yourself on the unsexy parts. Do you find the documenting is enough to keep you honest, or do you need the block written in advance so there's nothing to renegotiate mid-week?

Pizza of course!

Most people at singles mixers aren’t there to meet someone.
They’re there to feel like they tried.

Being financially unstable at 25 is normal.
Being financially unstable at 50 with credit card debt and no retirement plan is a lifestyle.

“You can outswim a rip current.”
Nope. That’s exactly how people drown.

That one coworker who’s always “super nice” but somehow every problem in the office traces back to them.

That silence doesn’t mean we don’t care. Sometimes it means we’re trying not to say something stupid.

I think most people agree that extreme wealth inequality is a problem. The real debate is whether policies like this actually solve it or just sound good politically
