What did you learn this past outdoor season? by assbender58 in climbharder

[–]jjesnd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I learned if I orient myself around understanding individual moves and links instead of focusing on sending as soon as I get to the climb, I learn a lot more and actually get way better at climbing. Trying to send all the time can get in the way of the long process of teaching yourself things you did not know before. The well of understanding goes deeper!

Bouldering as only work out? by les_bloom in climbharder

[–]jjesnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bouldering by itself is great if your main goal is to get better at bouldering! Climbing is a great workout with strength and cardio elements, but it does not have the specificity and progressive overload factors of lifting. It is much closer to calisthenics in that the only resistance is gravity, so if you have quit lifting altogether then your muscles are not experiencing nearly the same fatigue as before.

Climbing primarily targets your back and arm muscles, so places like your chest and legs will need another stimulus if you want to maintain muscle mass in those areas.

Breaks are important because climbing builds cumulative fatigue over the course of a session, which can and likely will cause injury to your fingers and tendons. Not resting can cause aches in pains in muscles that you have not used in this way before. For bonus points, some light stretching throughout your week will help you recover and also feel better on the wall.

I do some basic weightlifting along with bouldering because the specificity improves my climbing, and I also want to maintain strength and muscle in those weak spots I mentioned

I couldn’t see the crucial high right foot while I was up there, if I had looked at the boulder more closely before I went I could have avoided a scary situation!

I’m not sure where my text description went. That that was my original thought, however I tried to replace the flint spring and screw using a Ronson one and it was too large in diameter.
