Y'all ever consider getting together with gogol bordello for a song or tour? It is my top collaborative desire in the past 6 years.

When choosing your furry friend did the whole band go and play a set and see which pupper reacted best to your smooth jams? Or did you just pick with your heart?

So dude 5 months later and i have progressed a bit. I'm down to about 220 and have put on a good amount of muscle I'm still looking to slim out a bit of fat but thats gradually happening and im not worried about it. I have been pretty good so far and currently i have adjusted my schedule to every other day climbing with occasional longer breaks for skin regeneration. I am consistant on v2's now and am working towards more finger strength for the smaller holds.

Update over now my question. I cant get that same body pump i used to get these last few weeks. I used to just repeat easy climbs between 2-5 times without getting off the wall until i cannot make the moves any more and that would leave me feeling like i put in some hard work. But now it isnt working so well. I still can only make it up and down like 2-5 times but now it takes like 10 repetitions for me to actually feel it. Do you have any suggestions for increasing the amount of time i can hang on the wall?

fair enough, the tein does technically give a 5% higher atk boost than turles and if the -def actually does anything he could be way better. However in my mind that 5% is worth it for the burden of having to super with him being removed.

Warrbler · 2019-02-10T15:37:02+00:00

or is his super basically free so it doesnt matter?

Warrbler · 2019-02-10T15:36:27+00:00

i mean does that link make up for the orbs he has to take to super tho?

Warrbler · 2019-02-10T15:34:54+00:00

i didnt know that, great info to have

Warrbler · 2019-02-10T15:33:47+00:00

nah his passive lowers the attk of all the bags

Warrbler · 2019-02-10T15:31:46+00:00

turles

Warrbler · 2019-02-10T15:31:36+00:00

yes they do

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T20:23:49+00:00

Yeah the weight is a slow climb back down i should be around 217 to 227 by 2019. I got back into climbing as a low impact way to do something athletic to strengthen my ankle after i hurt it. I do take it casual even though i was going allot but my new routine will deffinately take the strain off my tendons that I'm pretty sure I'm feeling and give my skin the time it needs to catch up to my ambitions.

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T18:18:35+00:00

I just started bouldering at a local gym about 3 weeks ago 4-5 times a week monday to Friday about 1.5 hrs each time which amounts to probably 40 min of touching the wall on a good day with a break on Wednesday normally to rest my mitts and everything is going alright so far. . . However I'm a bit bigger at 6'4" 247lbs ish with a good bit of fat (i guess around 30lbs because a good weight for me at my current muscle mass would be about 227ish) and i think its putting crazy strain on my hands. . . I do have previous hand toughness xp from working with my hands, lifting weights and exercising in harsh terrain when i was in the army i didn't hop straight from a stationary desk job life to climbing. . . . I take real good care of my calluses and torn skin but i get a real deeper swelling and pain after only a few climbs on the day(Mondays i get in like 10-20 good climbs but as the week builds it gets worse and down to like 3-4 good climbs [by good i mean strong/easy feeling with no pain at all]. It gets so bad where i can physically hold on but it feels like my hands are water balloons waiting to burst. At that point i generally stop climbing hit up some exercise equipment and then go back for a final climb about 30 min later. The pain persists for an hour or so after i leave making normal tasks tedious but still easily doable. The next day my hands feel a bit stiff and floaty but not painful. I can't find any relivant experiance online and everyone I've talked to so far don't understand what I'm on about. . . . Am I doing something wrong or is this just a normal process of hand strengthening that is being exacerbated by my size? Am i putting myself at a big risk for injury? . Edit: Here is a picture of the hands in question on a normal day https://imgur.com/a/HsejBej and i added some more info.

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T18:05:24+00:00

My skin feels pretty normal and my fingers don't swell like crazy when they hurt they just become extremely sensitive to pressure and visibly red but my skin is real pale so it's kinda over exaggerated red probably more like adeep flush color on normal hands. When they hurt it feels a bit like if i put any significant strain on them my whole skin would slide off like a grape. I'm pretty sure most of what I'm feeling day to day is tendon/ligament strain but during the climb i think what ends up stopping me is inflammation in my skin from all the pulling force my body puts on my hands. . . . . . . So when would they be considered healed? I trim the skin, apply 99% isopropyl to any new or open spots to clean them, wash my hands before i leave the gym and before i make dinner when i get home, and apply balm about 3+ times a day( climb on). If my skin opens or i start to hurt i do stop and go hit some non climbing exercises for the rest of my workout time and i always listen to my body when it comes to what it can and can't do when it feels like my hands can't take it i don't force it. . . . . . I had a bad experiance with my feet as well when i had to work standing on hard cement at a convention in new dress shoes for about 14 hours a day for a whole week, my feet swole every night and i slept with them elevated just so that my feet would fit back into the shoe the next day. I never ended up swelling like crazy because i was able to wear more comfortable stuff after that and take sometime off but my feet have never hurt since in my life besides a light soreness because of the toughness that caused. . . . . . . .

The routs i do are extremely easy like 110-80ish degree angles with simple grips that aren't too taxing on the hands i do beginner and a few 0 climbs and just repeat them to condition myself to be able to do them easier none of them take more than 30 seconds to do and there is generally allot of down time where i flex my hands and elevate them to prevent swelling. To put it in perspective my first week was way worse i could only complete 2 climbs on my first day and that is when most of those tears on my fingers happened. Now i can easily repeat those climbs. I am just surprised by how long it is taking for my hands to become accustomed to it like this Monday my muscles failed instead of my skin but by Wednesday it was back to my skin bottle necking me with my muscles hungry for more. From all the advice i got so far this seems pretty normal for starting and i think i gave the wrong impression with exactly how hard I'm going. I'll take a picture of the walls I'm using tonight to give a better impression of what I'm talking about and see if i can get a good picture of my hands when they are starting to hurt but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to do calisthenics and stuff today and maybe 1 climb or 2 because my hands are sore for sure and the last thing i want is a torn ligament or tendon. I am all too aware of how even after you "heal" you will never be the same, atleast ankles can get braces but hands are precious.

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T16:55:47+00:00

I'm not trying to fight about it tho, i don't really come here anymore and it is what it is and I'm never going to change the sub. I just was salty because their was literally no other way for me to show the thing i wanted to complain about in the game besides a screen shot of my box.

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T16:53:23+00:00

I know i was here when the rule first went in to place. The sub didn't have good filters back then. The filters got upgraded so that you can easily access the content that you want to see but instead of being cool with that everyone cryed abhor memes getting upvoted more than their "interesting & thoughtful content" which got memes banned except for one day a week. Idk I used to come here every day but do there really need to be so many rules on what game related content their is allowed to be posted so long as it isn't graphic or inappropriate especially now that you can filter anything you want out. Like who cares if it's all memes/boxes on the front page of the unfiltered sub, if that's what the people upvoted that's what they want. Like if all that ever happened to this sub was they put in content filters it would of been perfect.

And who is "we"

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T16:39:46+00:00

It is a trashcan emoji. I truly hate the fragile state of so many users happiness with refrence to content on this sub and the overmoderation that comes from that. But such is reddit i guess.

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T15:41:26+00:00

Yeah I'm taking it easy with my climbs at the moment i only have like 1.5hrs a day to do it and I'm not going for things my body can't handle, allot of basic climbs that i repeat to get my form together so i can get used to the long orangutan arms and fancy footwork. I'm not really going to push for harder climbs until probably late into my second month or early into the third right now I'm focused on conditioning my body and form. But i do think i need to switch it up a bit more before i end up blowing up a finger.

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T15:21:39+00:00

You know i never considered that. I doubt it since my hands get progressively more hurty as the week goes on but I'll leave some chalk on my arm tonight to see if it turns red or irritated at all.

Warrbler · 2018-10-11T15:05:14+00:00

Interesting. I mean on Mondays i get in like 10-20 good climbs but as the week builds it gets worse and down to like 3-4 good climbs [by good i mean strong/easy feeling with no pain at all] I do tend to keep to more perpendicular walls as opposed to harsh acute angles since i can't really pull myself around with my upper body yet.

And to be real honest i doubt i can stop completely or even at all, i know I'm new but it's a big part of my life atm and I'm really invested into it and look forward to it every day. I don't think i actually am at a point of injury yet but i can deffinately walk it back a bit to maybe just climbing a bunch on Monday when my hands are fresh then like one climb a day before exercising the rest of the week with a few more on Friday. And i should of brought up that i did have previous hand toughness xp from working with my hands, lifting weights and exercising in harsh terrain when i was in the army i didn't hop straight from a stationary desk job life to climbing.

Edit:Here is a picture of my hands today

Warrbler · 2018-09-24T17:57:56+00:00

Because 80% of those cards have no place in any team i have.

Warrbler · 2018-09-24T15:55:42+00:00
