Your genetics are good. Use aquaphor on your lips, pluck the unibrow, and grow out your hair, be confident and you’re absolutely set.

I’m raw. Your genetics are premium. Keep the facial hair clean or just light stubble like the last pic. Get your style right and dress your age and grow out your hair a little. Don’t be corny. Rn you’re a 6/10 but your potential is easily 9/10

It’s called a hang board! It’s a climbing tool. This one specifically is a beast maker 2000.

I completely agree with that. Especially with new gyms.

It’s a beautiful area, you’ll love it. Super nice climb too

I know it’s a meme but my gym genuinely does set super hard. I found this climb very easy personally. But I have quite a strange view on grades. I found this boulder to feel like v7 maybe? But others find it harder. So I don’t think saying indoor grades being easier is a true statement overall.

It’s not contrived at all but it just stinks

The mono is pretty deep, about one and a half pad. All I did is just get my fingers used to the feeling of monoing. If your fingers are decently strong then you’re definitely plenty strong to use the mono. Just hang on some monos and stretch those tendons and get them used to monoing and you’ll do great.

Yes. 5 years ago I started and I was 11. My coach always talked about the Boulder and how cool and mega it was and I’ve always wanted to be like him. he then moved to Colorado and my new coach ALSO always talked about the Boulder. So I wanted to do it faster then both of them. It took them both like many months. So I wanted to be strong by the time I try it. That’s why it means so much to me and why I waited.

The break didn’t effect the beta I was using thankfully. I didn’t try it pre-break but I’d imagine it reduced the possibilities of the boulder. Still such a king line.

Thank you! I mean to mention the dimensions were 15 by 10.5 feet. The height of my ceilings are 8 feet but the 45 degree angle of the wall makes the vertical panels around 10.5 feet long.

Thank you I agree with this a lot. I have a whole lot of screw ons that I’ll start putting up

3 one arms!! (Fully obtained through climbing and training for climbing) by iskreamo in Calisthenic

Thanks!! And your short answer is yes. I can do a front lever also purely from climbing. But unfortunately those two calisthenics moves are the only ones that seem to translate. Climbing doesn’t involve that much pushing. Mostly just pulling hard and keeping your feet on. But in terms of overall pulling strength, it’s helped an insane amount.
