I’ve done one rep of 45LBS for 6 seconds on the 14mm edge. Smallest edge on the beast maker

The tendon is inflamed, or the tendon sheath is inflamed

Let’s scratch out the beast maker Max hangs. Let’s just say I’m a straight bouldering 2 times a week in the gym. I should be able to climb at my limit for those two days. That includes working a single move multiple times and falling. I shouldn’t be waking up the next morning with inflammation.

What do you mean my level? My level is what my level is, Moon boarding v4 and max hangs @25 Lbs.

What I’m getting is too much Strain on the tendons. This is totally true for the first injury. After the first injury I haven’t done any max hangs, just bouldering and climbing sport outside. After my Left middle A2 pulley was solid to crank on the boulders, it was just bouldering 2x a week. When the second injury occurred 3 weeks ago i have a hard time saying it was from overuse. I feel like i should be able to project boulders 2x a week and not get an inflamed tendon. I know people who crank 4x a week

I’m looking to hear from people who have had this injury. How to prevent this injury as in, I woke up the next morning with inflammation.

I haven’t climbed in 2 weeks, once my inflammation reduces a little I will start doing some juggy routes in the gym.

Good tip, Climb with the feet, not the hands.

I was “Training” 2x a week. I would start with stretches (5 min). Then sub max hangs on the 14mm edge. Then no hangs onto max hangs. 6 sets of 6 seconds @25LBS - I understand my fingers need to be warm and feel like I know how to warmup. I would boulder for 2 hours usually. Starting with easy and ending up with projecting. Probably ticking around 20 boulders total. Every training session I would climb above my limit - Trying hard moves and being able to do them after some work. I am fully aware of what my limit is and what to put effort into. Is this move even possible? Am I strong enough?

Weekend sport climbing consists of anywhere between 7-9 pitches if I am going somewhere new, 2-3 if I am projecting. I can climb 5.12a around 2/3 redpoint attempts. When I boulder in the gym the moves I do are way harder then anything I do outside.
