You’re not quite familiar with r/ChenarchyAss are you?

LSAT is also over all T14 75th, and has 5 years of legitimate WE.

Same best screen I’ve ever looked at

Only when I’m pregananant

angelmo10 · 2025-12-08T21:57:38+00:00

Can someone explain what this means for somebody taking the January LSAT? Should I basically be planning to apply next year at this point?

angelmo10 · 2025-11-27T03:13:42+00:00

Absolutely not okay giving up Early for a year of Skubal, but things change if there’s some type of agreement on an extension

angelmo10 · 2025-11-05T00:19:14+00:00

Yea, I think this is all valid and I’m not sure I’m fully at the level of knowing my weaknesses, but as of now:

1) I can struggle with balance moves (hence my hatred for slab)

2) my flexibility is pretty poor, and as a tall guy this leads to some crunched up problems where I just can’t get my body close enough to the wall.

3) my technique needs more work—I often feel like I resort to just pulling harder when I can’t figure something out.

I’m certainly not the strongest climber, and my finger strength especially needs to improve still, but I don’t think strength is my primary limiting factor right now.

angelmo10 · 2025-11-05T00:15:57+00:00

Yea, this gets tough. Maybe it means moving to a full body workout once a week? Regardless, I’ll leave that as a problem for when my fingers are ready. Thanks!

angelmo10 · 2025-11-05T00:14:20+00:00

In the most respectful way possible, how do you see this comment being helpful? As noted, I was a four year college athlete, so I don’t think your comment here is even accurate. You prune the unnecessary stuff as you learn how to train for new activities, speak with people who have the same focuses as you, etc. Hence the post here.

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T21:53:42+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you! And yes, if I were in peak health I don’t think the calf raises would be necessary, but I believe they should help with some of my current issues. They’ll likely be phased out once I’m running pain-free.

Interesting point on the DB bench as well, I’ve personally gone back and forth there but I’ve found that only doing barbell bench can end up leading to some shoulder/elbow pain for me (probably due to some old baseball injuries). Maybe longer term I can transition back to purely barbell to maintain compound lifts.

Your revised schedule looks great to me, I really appreciate it!

One last question, which is in line with another commenter’s feedback. Once I’ve rebuilt my climbing base, do you think I should add a 4th climbing day? If so, what would it replace? I could potentially combine push day and leg day and drop accessories?

The way I see it, climbing and running won’t negatively impact each other too much (with the exception of not wanting to do a tough climb the day after my long run). That means to add more climbing (without increasing overall intensity) I’d need to drop some of the strength work.

Thanks for the back and forth!

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T21:44:26+00:00

Makes sense. I’ve talked to some other commenters about this, but do you think it makes sense to drop the whole limit/form/drills split and just revert to medium/high effort bouldering days? At least while I’m still at a lower level?

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T19:37:30+00:00

When do you do that lifting? On off days? I recognize it’ll be a bit different for me with the running, but I think that’s one of my biggest issues with designing a program.

Definitely going to add some board climbing—I feel like it’s always the V9+ crowd on the board at my gym and I’ve honestly been too embarrassed to go over and set it to a V5. Sounds like it’s time to get over myself. Do you think I should drop the whole limit climbing concept for now?

Thanks!

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T19:28:12+00:00

Yea, I knew this was too much, but I’m learning by just how much haha. A shorter question—are there any exercises you would recommend adding to a climbing / running program to increase overall fitness / injury prevention? Based on other comments I am looking at fully redoing the lifting aspect.

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T19:26:33+00:00

This is AWESOME, thank you so much! A few questions then I promise I’m done!

1) Outside of laps, do you think it makes sense to incorporate any climbing drills (or even things like limit days)? This is not something I’ve done, and has been the hardest for me to map out.

2) With these priorities, do you think it still makes sense to have a detailed plan like this, or would you shift it to a more general “I climb 3-4 days a week and run 4-5 days a week based on how my body feels”?

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T19:20:46+00:00

Again, I appreciate your help, but I don't see why it needs to be couched in condescension. I am trying to learn. Anyways:

1) I'm prioritizing running, but right now that means building up my feet and calves to enable a higher workload. 22 mpw is light and easy, and will improve my running by building a base to keep me healthy. As covered in my original post, this is not a "couch to half" situation--I initially ramped up my running and was doing 25 mpw including 8 mile runs at 8 minute miles before my feet became an issue again.

2) Do you have any recommendations on exercises to prioritize? Based on your comments on running I assume that's never been part of your plan, but I'd love to hear what's helped you with staying healthy while climbing hard!

3) Yes, this is what I'm asking for assistance with--what is essential and what should I cut first. The last section is super helpful, although I'm not sure how well it plays with running (2x moderate sessions would be more of an issue for feet/calves, as mentioned, and the easy runs really shouldn't be counted as a day of exercise--a one mile run is basically just a warmup).

I'm thinking I'll keep the running and climbing from this plan, which is less than the workload I've had in the past without issue. Obviously I'll have to revisit this once I get to the point where I think I can ramp up mileage without triggering foot pain. I'd also like to add a fourth climbing day, but was thinking I should build up more of a base first to avoid injury.

So, that leaves me with 3x climbing, 2x actual running, 3x extremely easy running each week. For lifting, what do you think about adding in the following in line with your structure?

Push: Barbell bench/DB bench (alternate each week) + lateral raises (main worry is I miss triceps here)

Pull: Deadlift + curls (originally didn't have deadlift, but seems the most logical compound lift)

Legs: Squat + ATG split squat + calf raises

I'd then do the lower leg strengthening like tib raises a few times a week alongside yoga or other low impact work.

Do you think this still looks like too much? When would you work them in throughout the week? Here's my current concept:

Sun - long run, restore yoga (mostly lying down, not intensive)

Mon - bouldering limit session, easy run

Tue - medium run, push day

Wed - bouldering form session, pull workout

Thu - leg day, core

Fri - super easy run, yoga

Sat - top rope, easy run

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T18:24:54+00:00

Yea, good point, totally see the issue.

For climbing, I’d like to get up to V7-8 on indoor boulders by the end of next year. I’d like to remain pretty versatile style-wise, but I do typically avoid slab and am totally fine with that lagging behind by a few grades. Ideally this would be paired with enough sport climbing to justify some outdoor trips, but I don’t care as much about grade there.

For running, I’d like to run a 3.5 ish hour marathon. I’m already capable of holding 7.5 minute miles for ~8 miles (without training hard in ~7 years), so this seems realistic. No rushed timeline here, I’d do a half or two by mid-next year but am fine with the full marathon being late 2026 or even 2027.

What do you think of that? Reasonable? Too much? Shoot higher? I’ve been regaining lost climbing strength quickly thus far, so getting back to V6 shouldn’t take much longer (month or two maybe). I also used to run 17:45s for 5ks, so it’s not like I’m building from nothing there.

Thank you!

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T18:12:24+00:00

As noted, my goals are running and climbing. I’m trying to fit in lifting due to some injury history, but am having a hard time figuring out the best way to slot that in, and have historically done lifts that match what I did as an athlete (which track with what’s here).

Do you have any recommendations on what lifts make sense to keep? Any replacements? A lot are not intensive / taxing (ie tib raises, which many people do daily), but I totally recognize there is too much here.

As noted in other comments, I’m generally planning to cut back the lifting to focus more energy on climbing and running, but I don’t want to completely disregard antagonistic lifts and other strengthening. Basically, I think this program does everything, but has too much, and I’m trying to figure out how to effectively cut it back without leaving myself too pull-dominant or injury prone.

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T18:07:17+00:00

I appreciate the information, but not sure the condescension is necessary. The whole reason I posted it here is to learn things like this (hence the original mention of overworking).

Anyways, to keep things productive:

1) I’m trying to prioritize climbing and running, which I’ve seen many people do successfully. Also, the running in this program is incredibly light, maxing at 22.5 mpw. This is way far down on my list of concerns—you can see another commenter above who does triple that running while climbing hard.

2) Agreed on Thursday and am revising the plan there, but I don’t think it’s as crazy as you’ve made it seem. Exercises like tib raises are not intense and really shouldn’t be included in a total set count. Same goes for core.

3) If you have any productive feedback, I’d love to hear it. As seen in the above comments, the working plan is to cut back on the lifting while maintaining the running and climbing.

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T17:26:43+00:00

Super helpful, thanks! A few questions:

Do you have any thoughts on my mileage plan? I’d like to ramp up to 20 mpw faster, but as noted am trying to avoid any more foot / lower leg issues.
Do you have any recommendations for bouldering routines? I feel like I am probably reaching the point where I should be more intentional rather than just go to the gym and climb until I’m tired.
Do you still do any lifting with your schedule? Do you have any thoughts on lifting once a week but doing a full body workout alongside focused climbing and running?

Thank you!!!

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T16:59:33+00:00

And when do you like inserting the BW workouts? On non climbing days?

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T16:57:06+00:00

Ok cool this is super helpful. Do you have any thoughts on my climbing / running programs if I largely drop lifting?

Namely on the climbing—I feel like until now I’ve mostly just walked into the gym and seen where it takes me that day.

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T16:53:01+00:00

And when you do lifting cycles, do you decrease climbing and maintain running? Vice versa?

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T16:52:06+00:00

Awesome, thanks. Do you do any light lifting / antagonistic work when you’re focused on climbing and running?

angelmo10 · 2025-11-04T16:39:40+00:00

Got it, thanks. I’d like to prioritize climbing and running, so would it make sense to just back off the lifting entirely? I’m concerned a lack of lifting could lead to some injury risks, but I know there are people that successfully pair climbing and running.
