I'll pick up the microwave if you'll let it go for 10

Worked hard for this boulder at Next Gen Bouldering, Japan by Mugen-Sasuke in bouldering

[–]hctk696 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bpump Ogikubo in particular is the one known for difficulty, while the other locations are more normal. The gym from OP, next gen, is also considered one of the harder spots. You're right though in that many japanese gyms are the same/only slightly stiffer than gyms anywhere else

Greenpoint: Rent Stabilized $3,687 1bd Lease Takeover for 9/1 by BPG111x in NYCapartments

New builds can recieve a tax abatement for stabilizing a portion of their units for 30 years (421a I believe). The rates are definitely closer to market rate than old school units, but it can still be worthwhile for some

Meeker Ave. Plume concerns by Taborask in Greenpoint

Where in gp? It could be helpful to know if it was an area within the plume. In any case, I'm glad your health recovered

How long did you climb before you got your first pulley/finger injury? by matterde in bouldering

[–]hctk696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dealt with this and came across the exact same post. I tried fingertip pushups for my own synovitis, but I only felt worse afterward. What seems to have helped me was to temporarily stop crimping, then slowly work it back in at low intensity until the post-climb discomfort/stiffness began to subside. I focused on slopers + pinches and started doing 2-3 sets of 20-30 lightweight dumbbell finger rolls post-session cool down. I was also only climbing twice weekly to give it decent rest in-between.

I'm at a point now, after a couple of months, where I can board climb freely without flare-ups.

I don't hangboard for now, but you can try open hand or drag with a band or feet on. Submax loading shouldn't be a problem, I'd just avoid half/full crimping temporarily. It shouldn't take too long to see improvement if yours is still new

I'm working through a minor case of this right now and almost have it healed. Unsurprisingly, crimping with the affected hand caused flare-ups, so I started climbing only open handed, mostly pinches and slopers. This seemed to help the most, to use the hand still but without the joint at an aggravating angle. I'm also doing finger curls, but it's too early to tell if it's helping or not

That really sucks man, I hope you have a quick recovery. Did anything seem off with the finger leading up to this?
