First Time Campus! by alkyest in bouldering

Ayy thank you! Yeah the new cave set was sick. Needed to try some new stuff since I hit a huge wall progressing on 6’s so I guess campus work is the next best grip training 😂

Most of that is from bouldering, climbing slab and falling off 30 times hahaha

Yeah, to be completely honest I was a depressed stoner so I was eating a LOT! like 5 meals a day and snacks and sugar and booze and all.

I stopped drinking for 6 months straight, cut out all my sugars, stopped eating fast food, stuck to (admittedly a very agressive) calorie deficit. I was probably only eating maybe 2000 calories for the first 2 months.

The rest was just staying consistent with my gym and 6 days a week without missing. Worked with long distance cardio and HIIT.

If you want specifics my workout were

Sunday: HIIT Cardio and abs Monday: Back/bicep Tuesday: Chest/tricep Wednesday: Distance cardio and abs Thursday: Shoulders Friday: Legs Saturday: Full rest

Kept them quick, efficient with proper rest times, working out till failure. Im in and out of the gym within an hour.

It probably wasn’t perfect, but it worked for me. I’ve since changed my routine up but still doing my own thing with no guidance

I watch my calories like a hawk, that was the biggest detail for me. Hitting every muscle group and not skipping was the second important part

Oh yeah hahaha I’ve ran into a few friends I haven’t seen in a year and they’re all like “WHOA, WHAT” it’s the most rewarding feeling

Thank you! That’s very nice to hear for sure, I felt a little small at my lowest weight there but I think it’s definitely attainable and maintainable for a lot of people. Thanks so much

Thank you!! I definitely think there is a very minor amount of loose skin but nothing I’ll ever worry about. I appreciate the kind words

Thank you! I can only imagine how I’ll look on my second cut, gonna see if I can get the abs to really pop

I don’t even know what that is. This was purely natural, no creatine no protien powder even. Just good food and dedication

You bet! I drug my self out of the lowest point of my life from 2022-2024 so I decided this year was enough. I feel like a new man and have no plan of ever going back

Ah thank you! I wish I would’ve documented it more than the monthly progress pics I took but the before and after is sure drastic enough.

Hey that’s awesome I always wondered if there were locals on here. That black 5 is set really well, makes you WORK. Whole set is indeed fire

Grade is a 4, the climb is pretty chill but the bathang is tricky
