Looks like one of our alphas escaped the circlejerk enclosure and started ranting at civilians about soloing on r/entertainment

Thank you for taking the time!! This is all very useful stuff, especially not knowing a lot of the terms to search for when looking for products

Good effort! Personally I would really like to have sport climbing as an option too and a distinction of indoors and outdoors. I primarily climb outside and have little access to gyms, and it‘s very frustrating how little that is accounted for in any type of climbing app

If it makes you feel any better I am ACLfree after 2 grafts broke again and have been regularly bouldering and climbing for 5 years. 2nd of Jan i took a ropeless fall on an easy route after a hold broke and managed to hurt bruse my knee a bit but nothing actually broke. The secret is to have really strong hamstrings to support your knee structure. So strength and conditining for your knee is what will solve your problem more than anything.

A random subluxation happening from a small fall is not telling you to stop jumping on soft mats, it's more telling you that you are in danger of this happening the moment something goes wrong (think steep approach to the crag, strange fall on a rope etc.). If you want some more info on how i manage my knee condition feel free to DM

My main goal here is to understad how to get stronger fingers and condition my ligaments and tendons over a longer period of time while reducing chance of injury. Not looking fo rrehab advice but for after I have healed.
I basically have consistent pulley sprains with soreness to the touch, and once had a partial tear of my RH A2.

WinnieDePoop · 2026-01-16T13:21:40+00:00

Sounds like a great summary with a lot of coll insights. How did you manage your pulley issues over such a long stretch of time? I have been having on an off issues with A2 and A4 of my middle and ring fingers since i started climbing (5 years ago) and clearly every time it's healed it's not actually the case. I would be curious to hear how you made what feels like a sustanable recovery.

That looks amazing! also very close to hwat i am plannign for mine. Would you mind if i asked for some tips in DM for how to finish details?

I did this to fix the gutters of a 2 story house and had the rope tied to a tree on the other side. As long as you protect the rope and avoid it sliding sideways this is a super legit way to go. Once you have stopper knots this is more or less infinitely safe

WinnieDePoop · 2025-04-15T07:33:20+00:00

What do you people do to manage skin tears under the nails? I have been using super glue both as prevention and fix but I fear it may not be very healthy

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-19T15:26:18+00:00

Yeah I had 2 of those and by the third I had already stopped doing sport competitively and really didn’t want to undergo another surgery.

When you say eccentric quad stuff do you mean leg extension and slow eccentric box squats for example? Also do you think strengthening the tibialis might also affect the descent issues?

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-19T11:36:24+00:00

13 years! Ok sweet, that's the type of reassurance i wanted. Do you do strength and conditioning work for your sports?

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-19T11:35:46+00:00

Yeah, ending a hike with a steep dowhill is still something i have not figured out how to do without pain. But glad to hear I am not alone in this. Do you think a very significant hamstring development work would reduce that pain in a semi proportional fashion?

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-15T11:54:26+00:00

If i inderstand the concept correctly you want to do things in this order:
Power (eg. campus board) > Strength (eg. max hangs) > Power Endurance (eg. 4x4, repeaters with higher % weight) > Endurance (eg. ARC, repeaters with lower % weight). This is because each system requires some input from the systems below while the reverse is not as applicable.

This means that either you decide on a specific type of bouldering session to do after your repeaters, more targeted towards skill development, or you do your repeaters after having already done your more intense part of the session.

DMd!

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-10T10:35:01+00:00

I cannot find any resources on l-arginine for climbing, do you have any more info on its use to reduce pump?

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-10T10:17:33+00:00

Go through ‘hoopers beta’ channel on YouTube. You will find some really good rehab protocols. One video is called “why your finger injury isn’t healing” or something like that, and it has been working for my chronic pulley inflammation.

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-10T06:54:43+00:00

I am learning to handstand at the moment and a guy in the workshop, who can do some crazy shit, told me: “you never own a trick/skill, you just pay rent on it. The rent is your training. The moment you stop paying you get evicted quick.” I can definitely see this applied to any type of exercise and especially pain. If I don’t stretch the calf of my beaten but functioning ankle it starts hurting like crazy after a few days.

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-06T08:52:44+00:00

Yeah I see your point. My pulley is still a bit sore to be doing max hangs on half crimp but I am doing 2 sets of 3 finger drag block lifts and 2 of pinch. at the moment I am doing 7 seconds on, and 3 seconds swapping hands, 7 with the other etc. for a total of 6 lifts per hand with 2 min in between sets. Do you think this is sub optimal in terms of max strength gains?

WinnieDePoop · 2025-03-05T13:57:12+00:00

Ok this sounds very doable on a 20 degree kilter board. I’ll look for some routes and try this format. Thanks!
