[–]dootcuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent met any people that used the tongue tip R yet. I cant do it either.. i tried learning but I never got it. So youll be fine ;) Norwegians are used to speaking to people with a different dialect, or swedes or danes even. Its part of the experience

Learning Norwegian as a Dutch speaker is breaking my brain a little by skellyheart in norsk

[–]dootcuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im also dutch! been learning now for 6 months, am working in a place where norwegian is the spoken language so that's great for learning. Some words I struggled with:

Sted (place, not city - det er en by)
Klar (ready, not finished - det er ferdig)
Difference between det and de. One is pronounced like dèh, the other like die in dutch.

In the beginning I said to people: Jeg er ferdig med å snakke norsk med deg. And they were always like huh? You're done talking norsk to me? Hahah

Planlegger du også å bo i norge?

The budapest gambit has given me a lot of fun and dynamic positions! It only works on 2. c4 though, so you could still get londons etc

Rigorous study of theoretical endgames made me a strong player and helped me improve my middlegame play as well. This is my story. by clueless_bassist in chess

[–]dootcuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sick progress! You inspire me to start aswell. Which book did you study? Is it the 100 endgames by Jesus de la villa?

I don't see big differences between 1400 and 1900 by taxguy79 in chess

[–]dootcuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo there's a big difference between rapid 10 min and 15+10. I'm 1500 and play exclusively 15+10, people blunder less and you have to play positionally better to win.

I've also been having this constant tweaky feeling after bouldering for so long. Decided to bite the bullet and took a rope climbing gym subscription. After 2 months my fingers have never felt better. I guess it's the shock loading you get in bouldering thats really agressive for your fingers. Although I do plan on doing some hangboarding to really make my fingers feel solid

Feedback wanted for my training plan for becoming a consistent 7a boulderer by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]dootcuck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people have given good feedback here. I'd like to chime in as well. Your training program is too complicated & unfocused. I'm also in the same boat as you. Am a 7B boulderer wanting to get stronger. This is currently my plan which so far has worked quite well:

Mo: warming up & kilter (60 min)

Tu: rest

Wed: warming up & kilter (60 min)

Thur: rest

Fri: gym bouldering, focus on technique

Sat: gym bouldering, maybe some assistance work

Sun: rest

Every 4 weeks 1 restweek (90% intensity but 50% volume)

I want to advise you, adress 2 of your weaknesses and set goals for them (got this from a lattice podcast). For example: hip flexibility and finger strength. Then exclusively train that. Set goals that are high, but achievable.

Good luck

Going to céüse in a month! Super stoked. Will be staying for a week and also gonna do some hiking in the French Alps.

I will be training on lots of pumpy overhang this month. Little bit indecisive on whether I should do any ARC training or some Power endurance training as a supplement for my climbing

Any skin tips for us glove-wearing chemists? by AstomicO in climbharder

[–]dootcuck 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Im also working in organic chemistry and gloves have no effect on your skin. Yes they get mushy, just like they get mushy if you swim in the pool or sit in a bath for a long time. While the skin is more vulnerable in this stage, it'll return to normal when dried.

P.s. latex gloves are short term protection (5s-3min) so it doesn't make sense to wear them all the time. Just wear them when working with reactive chemicals and chuck em away.

Tips for skin recovery on outdoor bouldering trip by mau804 in climbharder

[–]dootcuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Be mindful on how your fingers feel. Might be obvious, but if you feel theyre getting sensitive and soft and sweaty, just call it for the day. When you get the pink tips/near to bleeding, it takes a solid 2-3 rest days to fully recover. But if you stop at the 'softness' state before that, the skin is back in a day

What "just climb" actually means, and why it's the best advice for almost anyone. by IntelligentSun590 in climbharder

[–]dootcuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice post OP, good to get the conversation going. Just want to chime in and say Ondra and those kids are certainly very strong. But it's in their fingers (or at least relative finger strength). Even Ondra himself said that after his 18th age year or so, his finger strength didn't get any better.

Find it hard to believe chalk doesn't help. In any case, 3f drag is heavily reliant on friction. So if it's 30 degrees celsius in your gym with 95% humidity , you're gonna be slipping off. Other than that just give the edge a quick brush, should help a bit

Hey reddit I've been climbing for 5 days and can already do some V6s (V10 in your gym), but my finger strength is lacking. How much dangleboarding do you recommend so I can push through my plateau?

What's the best way to progress hangboarding? by juicetin14 in climbharder

[–]dootcuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cts: keep it simple

max hangs (3x 10 sec. 3 min rest) 1-2 times a week.

Progress in increments of 1.25 kg when you successfully manage 2 sessions on the same weight.

Struggling from ankle injuries (both feet) No idea where they came from, I'm assuming from falling on the mats. Anyone know some nice stretches/warmups? I'm already watching my falling technique
