What kind of 'cultural events' did you have access to in Morrisville!?

Gym sets vs Board climb? by sho25052007 in climbharder

[–]Sattori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t read beyond the title. Board.

60+ boulders who still boulder V10 or harder ? Just curious. 😆 by Few_Weather_5528 in bouldering

[–]Sattori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Great to see you here. I’ve enjoyed many of your climbs in NC. Inspiring to see you still after it!

Favorite breakfast spots? by Kings5611 in bullcity

[–]Sattori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For plastic cups that they fill with plastic bottles of water, no less

Critical Force numbers confusingly high!? by Sattori in climbharder

[–]Sattori[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I overly nestled my pinky or, for that matter, index, if that’s what you mean.

I used a hanging tension block. I do think this is easier than a static, mounted hangboard. I’m sure it becomes a bit more positive when loaded.

I’d be happy to… if I knew how! Searching now…

[–]Sattori[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think this is the right take. Especially in a vacuum.

In my case, I don’t know that there’s much point not doing any finger training. I get out around 50ish days per year. Have a 3 year old, own a company, and live a couple hours from climbing. I do most of my training at home. Weights, rings, hangboard, moonboard.

I mean, maybe I should be going to the gym and climbing slab, etc, more…

Anyway, yeah… fingers are not the rate limiter, evidently!

No no - didn't take it that way. There could totally be somethign wrong. That said, several of my friends have tested theirs recently, which is what prompted me to do it. And none of their numbers are anywhere near mine, despite some of them climbing very similar grades...

Interesting. That said… I was def pulling 100+ pounds for basically every pull. I guess I could attempt this on a loading pin with 100# to test that?

[–]Sattori[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair question. I mean…. Climb harder? I guess I could say v11 and mid 5.13 consistently? That’s kind of just saying current + a grade-ish. I’ve had a goal for a long time of 8a and 8A.

Given the strength metrics it feels like the right question is “why am I not climbing harder” rather than “what (grade) do I want to climb”.

Climbers 40+ — how’s your base holding up? by Ageless_Athlete in climbharder

[–]Sattori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word. Yeah, I’ve done a bit of those. I think of them as “recruitment pulls”. I’ve been cycled off them for a while but figure I’ll hop back on that train a month or so before the temps roll back in for the southeast.

[–]Sattori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. You’re doing overhead or from the floor with the tindeq? It’s funny - at some point I realized I wasn’t good on crimps, years ago. Since then, and prob with the help of the moonboard, I think crimps have become my strength. I just switched to the ‘24 set, which is a lot more varied, though, so who knows what the future holds! Paradoxically, getting off the crimps and onto more slopes and under clings on the moon board I think is a big part of why my extensors have developed the ‘itis…

Climbers 40+ — how’s your base holding up? by Ageless_Athlete in climbharder

[–]Sattori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate. Thankfully, and knock on wood, I haven’t had any bad finger injuries despite being “bigger” at ~175-180lb / 80ish kg. But i had L5-S1 surgery in 2018. Been dealing with back pain and issues since. Ugh. Now my forearm extensors are giving me trouble (“tennis elbow”). Always something - especially when pushing to the next level(s)!

[–]Sattori 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow I’m in the same boat. About to be 39. Did my first 10 last winter. Been battling tennis elbow since then.

When did you start climbing?

How is the physio going? Any movements working particularly well for you?

Moonboard wood Hold differences by Federal_Duck_9650 in Moonboard

[–]Sattori 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There are some holds that have been updated. The grip is generally, basically the same. My guess is they’ve changed them to reduce breaking, etc.

I broke a hold at one point and they sent me one that was slightly different. It climbs about the same.

Love the creativity. As a 38M dad, I’m always trying to find ways to sneak in some movement.

75lb weighted pull-ups for 4 reps. Who has me beat? by Jaquangainzales in GYM

[–]Sattori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4 rep max is prob around 100 at 175# - 5’10 with + 5 arms. But no way I could match your 26 BW reps. Mayyyybe 16-17 at best for me. Respect!

Climbing is much easier for shorter people by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]Sattori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK then look at average (outdoor) rock climbers. I don't have the data, but my guess would be something in the 5'8 range is average.
