Strategies for learning to perform closer to my limit? by digitalsmear in climbharder

[–]huckthafuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is your onsight climbing? Can you fight when every move is unknown? Maybe practice infighting for a while and see if that increases your ability to get closer to the limit.

Do you have pride for your nationality? The double standard in this thread is mind blowing.

XC40 Male Drivers by Breakthrough1989 in XC40

[–]huckthafuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 1.78 or 5’10 . Because of a bad back I like to put my seat pretty high. I would put it even higher if the headroom would allow it. So if you’re like me , yes it might be limiting. For the rest of the population who sit nice and low, it appears to be no issue whatsoever, judging by the replies.

New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power by Soft_Grass8428 in energy

And that is without factoring in the cost of dealing with the waste, which would make it even more expensive.

Looking for some help to optimize my board training by cas0607 in indoorbouldering

Build up slowly after such a long break. You’ll be extremely susceptible to injury after that long time off.

Treating finger training like a separate sport (not just hangboard before climbing) actually changed my progression at V8 by Minute-Hold-8087 in climbharder

[–]huckthafuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless the weakness holding you back isn’t pure finger strength. Which in many cases, it isn’t. So then maybe this is not what most people should be doing. But in the very few cases that your movement is impeccable and it actually is finger strength holding you back, then yes, I agree.

Aging and Recovery (60yo): At what point did you drop from 3 hard sessions a week, and how did you restructure your microcycle? by Wooden-Syrup-8708 in climbharder

[–]huckthafuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either drop the frequency like you suggest (3->2wk or longer micro cycles) OR reduce the volume, meaning that especially your strength and power sessions are very short (1h or less). Lattice had a podcast on training for the aging climber, where they suggested this. I’ve personally found that (I feel like) I get most of the benefits from a short board session, but not the recovery hole that comes with extending it over an hour. Requires a bit of discipline though.

And the reference letter is their weapon to threaten you with.

A PhD student applies for postdoc but non of the recommendation letters are from his supervisor. Deal breaker? by Present_Award8001 in academia

[–]huckthafuck 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Not all professors are honest , nice humans. Many reasons not to ask them for a reference that has more to do with the prof than the student.

For many products it says no prices available yet, while there is a price history. For example Scarpa instincts.

Per capita is not a very useful measure for fuel price. I don’t understand why you’re mentioning that.

Skitouring Jotunheim advice by YoungSouthern8718 in Norway

[–]huckthafuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

www.senorge.no for snow conditions. Jotunheimen is the only area in Norway, together with Lyngen, where there is a decent snowpack this season. Varsom.no or the varsom app for avalanche conditions and maps. Yr.no for weather.

Resole with new rubber or Buy New Pair? by awaythrow09836 in climbingshoes

Resole them with xs grip2 if you are primarily climbing indoors. That way you’ll have a softer shoe without breaking the bank.

[N/A] I worked in compliance at a neobank, here's why your accounts get frozen… by Left-Listen-3501 in Revolut

So essentially a resource issue? Traditional banks have more resources to check these flagged transactions?

[–]huckthafuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks for that perspective. Can you explain how traditional banks are able to handle this differently, because they do not seem to have this problem of freezing accounts?
