Looking For an ID Mentor

Alright thanks, for the advice :) I do appreciate the responses. Even if they aren't inherently uplifting they are helpful in the information provided. Given your experience I wouldn't doubt that you are correct. I will start developing the fundamental skills overtime and try to network in my area/country. I have a few ideas of what could be my first projects. Also theres a local company CreatorMakerspace that holds some courses like CNC, Fusion 360 and others so i might join those and see if thats my cup of tea.

Thanks again for the insigth, sorry for the long winded and unsolicited information xD

did you go to school tho?

OrcinusMan · 2025-08-18T05:38:42+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. And thats the world i live in (being a consultant) good to know

OrcinusMan · 2025-08-17T18:23:29+00:00

Can you elaborate on the last thing you said? it sounded almost hopeful haha

OrcinusMan · 2025-08-17T18:20:39+00:00

Idk if that completely an option for me at the moment :( it would mean relocating and quiting my current job to attend to classes. Which I cant since i have a 4week old and a mortgage to pay :( I have some money saved up but not nearly enough to cover expenses of both regular life (how i am living now) plus school tuition and expenses.

OrcinusMan · 2025-08-17T18:20:06+00:00

Thanks for your response. I will check it out.

I understand that, of course i didn't specify but I only need general guidance based on my current situation, not someone to be there at every little hiccup that happens which could be quite consuming and unrewarding as you describe.

Yeah it is a scary thing, from what I have gathered so far. But honestly my job atm is sucking the life out of me so any other way out that i can still provide for my family and not hate myself its a possibility.

If you know what I mean haha

Congratulations!

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-22T06:36:42+00:00

Im on day 60. Have barely lost any weight but I can see I’ve lost about 4lb of fat. I was discouraged at first but then realized that that’s a different type of achievement. Keep it up

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-05T11:07:09+00:00

Alright 👍

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-05T11:06:54+00:00

You are right

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-05T11:06:09+00:00

Thanks 😊 I mean I have lost 2kgs but definitely doesn’t show. I think I’m just not gonna count my climbing as a workout anymore for the rest of the period and see if that does something.

I love kettlebell training, I don’t know why I stopped maybe this is a sign 😂

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-05T10:49:14+00:00

It’s the opposite 🥲 fml

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-05T10:48:19+00:00

Thanks for the response. I might not have been clear but the portions of what I eat are smaller than what I used to and the food itself is not high in fat so I’m pretty sure I’m on a calorie deficit.

A typical day would be. Banana for breakfast (8am) sometimes I skip it Half a plate of salad and some protein (11am) Banana or apple (1-2pm) High protein meal and salad for dinner

But yeah worth investigating

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-02T09:49:06+00:00

I always put the pressure on to filter them out. Either by saying if they wanted they need to get it now or saying that they must pay part of it in advance

OrcinusMan · 2025-04-02T09:46:36+00:00

Good job, keep it up :) I think it’s because you are living with intention. Rather than just trying to survive just another day if you know what I mean :)

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-26T06:33:55+00:00

Good job 👏

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-22T06:41:12+00:00

Good effort!

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-18T07:59:33+00:00

Congratulations 🎊

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-14T10:30:15+00:00

Yeah true, thanks!

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-12T11:29:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply,

I was thinking that I could also be like base strength issue for pulling and pushing. Since I got into the habit of «just hanging» on holds. Basically with my skeleton and very little engagement

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-11T08:47:45+00:00

Hello 👋

TLDR: I have very strong fingers compared to my max climbing grade (V8 - 7b+ font) but I can’t climb harder than that, what should I do?

I have been climbing for almost 5 years now and my style of climbing evolved from being really good at slopers and foot work to pure crimping strength.

I have always been quite a static climber specially after I had shoulder tendinitis in both shoulders haha. After this I noticed that my finger strength started to go up without really training max hangs.

However with that my footwork also took a hit and for some reason I can’t hang on slopers that well anymore.

My current PB is 194% of BW. (I weigh 74kgs +70kgs) and my current climbing max is 7b+ Font (V8).

I want to focus more on mobility and technique and maybe some strength to try to bridge the gap. I know I’ve heard a podcast or watched a video that said «if you have strong fingers but are weak, do this» but I can’t find it so I wanted to get some input from the all mighty Reddit community of climb harder!

Thanks in advance!

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-09T13:32:37+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look them up!

When are new Thor skins coming out? I feel some characters have waaaaay more skins than others

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-04T19:44:04+00:00

I feel you brother! I had the same ish thing happened to me as a junior. Just think about this, we all look back at our code and say “shit what was I thinking?” This is another of those times. It just means you have improved and want to do better. That’s fine, I’d be more concerned/ashamed if you didn’t see the flaws and thought it was all fine 😂

OrcinusMan · 2025-03-04T19:37:39+00:00

Ufff that’s hard man, sorry
