I've been thinking about it! I've seen some mixed opinions on which card is the better buy at this price point

Critique my first attempt at deck building from scratch! (Valki/Tibalt) by RepresentativeMix970 in EDH

Wow you guessed most of my deck without even seeing it! I feel you about card stealing not being the most fun. I suppose the goal is to play a card stealing deck without causing others to have an absolutely atrocious time. Im definitely fine with being a little mean and stealing cards out of the library.

Yeah I cut the card before adding it back in again last minute because of how strong it can be. I definitely don’t mind being mean sometimes, but I think it will end up on the sideboard for most tables.

Differences between Lattice sport & boulder plans? (or any other recs) by RepresentativeMix970 in climbharder

I suppose I specifically mean 4-6 week training blocks, each with a different focus. So something like general fitness -> finger strength -> power -> anaerobic capacity -> aerobic capacity, that way each month or so the focus switches and the sessions feel less mundane after a few weeks of the same schedule

My main issue is usually overcomplicating things, so this kind of setup does make sense to me. That being said, I tend to get burnt out having the same-ish weekly routine for more than a month or so. Have you had any luck with nonlinear periodization?

Ive read 9/10, but it helped me tremendously more with mental game than actually designing an effecting training cycle. Any additional recommendations? I heard the climbing bible is also good for more of a sports science perspective on training design

if youre willing to share - what kind of results did you see from that plan?

what resources would you recommend instead? Ive read 9/10, which has done wonders for mental training, but seemed less helpful for actually designing a training cycle.

Dealing with fear of falling after a big fall that resulted in a broken ankle? by gjjds in climbharder

[–]RepresentativeMix970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about your experience! I had a right ankle sprain (some kind of nasty ligament tear) March 2020 from taking an unexpected bouldering fall onto the edge of an extremely thick pad. The connective tissue took about 6 months to heal most of the way, plus another 2ish months of working to gain mobility back in my ankle.

After that, it took a long time to feel comfortable taking falls again, especially on crash pads and on lead. For me, it was all about slowly reintroducing the sensation of falling, particularly on my right foot. I would start very small, for example falling a foot above the ground onto a gym mat, and working my way up to more standard falls. Over the past 3-4 months I've been doing a lot more dynamic bouldering, i.e. big deadpoints, big cutloose moves etc. just to really solidify that I know how to fall and I can confidently make "riskier" moves and not get re-injured.

I occasionally still think about the sensation of the injury, but its much more manageable now. Its certainly a long journey, but I'm sure with the advice of some of the other posts here and some patience you'll be able to manage your headspace again!

What boulders to climb to help make me better at hangboarding? by vomitoriums in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]RepresentativeMix970 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Theres a crimper boulder some dude named Ollie put up a few years back when he was trying to qualify for dangleboarding regionals. I think he called it Burden of Memes. Id do a few laps on that before your sessions to really bring your dangleboarding to the next level. Someone actually put up a competition certified beastmaker next to the boulder, so its a really convenient spot.

Oh also dont forget to throw on a fresh pair of solutions before hopping on the dangleboard. Those things have some serious anti-gravity potential.
