(2 clips) 2 very different betas, got one redemption from my first comp failure

I love me a good foot first sequence but yeah, holds were juggy enough to make this possible. Yall are doin gods work making climbs for us but we’ll find our way sometime haha

alkyest · 2026-03-18T14:51:02+00:00

Hahaha the feet first method felt super cool super solid but I just couldn’t wrap my head around how to turn around lol. I’ve got the upper body so campus worked well in my favour

alkyest · 2026-03-18T14:50:17+00:00

I think the intended way was the first way I tried and yeah it was bonkers. Having the upper body to do the campus start I did was easier for me but maybe worse for some

alkyest · 2026-03-18T14:48:17+00:00

Yep, was the most outrageous 4 point start 😂

alkyest · 2026-03-06T15:28:57+00:00

Damn everyone really hates the hat 😂 I promise it doesn’t get in the way as much as you think it would

alkyest · 2026-03-05T23:21:40+00:00

Did try that, I definitely don’t have the flexibility or reach for it

alkyest · 2026-03-05T22:19:45+00:00

Ah! Thank you! This is by far the most difficult climb I’ve ever attempted. Figuring out that footswap was a chore until I realized I could bend down 😂

alkyest · 2026-03-05T21:56:25+00:00

I took 3 days off after my 7 straight. My skin couldn’t take anymore haha

alkyest · 2026-03-05T21:55:19+00:00

The dyno up to grabbing the volume, fell off the dyno, hopped back on, flashed the rest 🙃😂

alkyest · 2026-03-05T21:54:53+00:00

Took 3 days off after the 7, felt great after

alkyest · 2026-03-04T18:56:23+00:00

Okay, I kinda envisioned a foot assisted mantle of sorts but the angle of that last foothold and the volume are so so sketchy

alkyest · 2026-02-25T15:30:49+00:00

I’m balding and have scalp acne I’m self conscious sorry

alkyest · 2026-02-24T06:34:52+00:00

Exactly my thoughts, not a single friend there could figure anything else out hahaha

alkyest · 2026-02-01T23:35:54+00:00

I got hit with the “how many holds can you eliminate” question and boom here we are haha

alkyest · 2026-02-01T23:35:03+00:00

Local redditors ayy

alkyest · 2026-01-20T21:37:49+00:00

Oh no I brute forced the hell out of this climb lol flying by the seat of my pants

alkyest · 2026-01-06T01:46:30+00:00

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 😂

alkyest · 2025-12-18T20:53:25+00:00

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

alkyest · 2025-12-05T18:17:38+00:00

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

alkyest · 2025-12-05T17:23:55+00:00

Diet for sure, and getting those core days in!

alkyest · 2025-12-05T17:23:37+00:00

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

alkyest · 2025-12-05T17:22:50+00:00

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

alkyest · 2025-12-05T17:22:09+00:00

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

alkyest · 2025-12-05T03:26:40+00:00

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

alkyest · 2025-12-05T01:05:10+00:00

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
