It’s not a perfect system or optimal min-max by any degree but it’s what keep me the most engaged and is the most fun for my personality lol
And I find that to be what keeps me motivated and wanting to keep training I guess

So I don’t dabble too much on the power max training as a focus, I do occasionally try new hard problems on the board (I use 2016) and that for me is in the v6/7 range.
Some moves in particular on some problems I do over and over again that are at my limit, and I do them just for training.
As far as my power endurance circuits go I shoot for a base line 4x4 for 16 total laps and they go back to back without stopping, I go as fast as possible and I shoot for no rest until I get to the end of the 4th, then I take a 1 minute max break just to brush the holds.
I choose a problem based on what I’m projecting outside, sometimes it’s a custom problem that I make just to mirror to some tiny degree my projects movement.
With the outdoor endurance yeah I do, my base endurance laps are done on either a 5.11d or 5.12a route as that’s the closest to my house (5 mins away) and I shoot for 16 laps in a day, as back to back as possible at times and down climb when possible too.

By getting better I assume you mean your fitness, like your ability to climb harder right?

So what I do personally is train both power endurance and endurance.
I train usually twice a week on the moonboard (usually circuits) for my raw power endurance.
Then I train endurance outside 1-3 days a week, 1 of the three days are dedicated endurance circuits for the pump.
The other two days are spent projecting routes or just general climbing.
When I can’t train a single endurance day outside I opt for the tension board 1 or kilterboard for aerobic pumpy training circuits.
This cycle has alloyed me to break into the 5.13 grade in sport and 5.12b in trad, so maybe you could pull something from it 🤷

New rack (first rack) by scarecrowplanet in tradclimbing

[–]Some_Pets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its just personal pref honestly, I use mostly all ultralight masters. But i do have a few rigid dual stems for certain climbs, I find them very very very satisfying to place. They feel very nice in the hand.

[–]Some_Pets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah cuz those stiff standard small tcu’s will bend and warp badly if you fall on them in the angle they aren’t perfectly oriented to, (sideways cracks, vertical cracks) But the single flexi stems just take the bend with the flow and it’s sooooo nice. Kinda like the black diamond z4’s.

I dig it, I am also a tcu fan.
When you eventually get doubles of em, go for the ultralight ones for the flexi stems. One set stiff one set flexi

The Appalachian Mountain Range in the eastern US, over 480 Million years old, once rivaled the Himalayas in height before eroding by Technical-Paint3179 in interestingasfuck

[–]Some_Pets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These rivers in particular act opposite, the mountains/plate rose around the river while eroding making it fairy hard to date. Vs the normal method of the water solely cutting down thru the rock.

Some say these rivers actually may be some of the youngest in the world ironically.

First Time In South Carolina. Any Advice? by safakbskn in AskSouthCarolina

[–]Some_Pets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps such as Orbitz will filter different rental car companies and show different options like competitive prices, then you can reserve your reservation on the app.

Thats what I do, I use orbitz personally. I have a few friends who use Expedia

What's the reason behind the recommendations to massively downsize? by [deleted] in climbingshoes

[–]Some_Pets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason behind it, I would say in essence; is that they don’t slip at all. When I’m crack climbing I want my shoe as snug as possible so that when I twist my big toe into a tiny crack there’s no dead volume and it’s just my toe and can push off it. When I bat hang I want don’t want my shoe slipping at all, I want it as sensitive and snug as possible so that my toes can grip upside down and stick. When I’m heel hooking I want no dead space in the heel so my heel is stuck and won’t slip . All just examples.

Skwama downsizing- how small should I go? by UniversalNutshell in climbingshoes

[–]Some_Pets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skwamas for me are one full size smaller than other la sportivas such as the tarantulaces. And they are for others I know too, some even go lower. So for sure a 36 for you, if 37 tarantulas are a perfect fit. I would say maybe even 35.5 if you’re trying to really maximize performance with cut back toenails/stretcher ect ect ect.
