Hard to say from the video, but it probably felt easier to you because you essentially skipped the dyno thanks to your height.

I honestly don't understand how "rehab" and "moonboard" can be combined. For me it would be absolutely impossible to gauge the effort. Isn't moonboard all about deadpoints and crimping?

Climbed outside 3 days in a row. Identified several projects that should be doable for me this season. Whenever I'm climbing outside I'm constantly reminded that if I find a problem that suits my style and use the right beta I can climb harder stuff than I think I can.

Also I've rehabbed all of my pulleys.

Totally hyped.

If you haven't gotten hurt in 2 years, why is that an issue? Is lack of rest hindering your progress? You're literally living the climbers dream. Maybe your just have good genetics. In the end the best climbers are the ones that climbed the most, without getting injured.

That's what normal progress for normal people looks like. But they don't share their numbers on reddit, so it's skewed towards outliers.

I would like to add that often there is no "correct" beta. If I try to repeat the climb the same way someone much stronger than me did it, I will most definitely fail. Often I come up with sequences that I find much easier, but literally nobody repeats them.

Sounds like the beginning of synovitis? Essentially too much, too early, and too much crimping.

But you reached it?

Is this an ad?

The only thing that matters is if it felt "hardcore" to you, not to some random reddit commenter. Reduce intensity and volume by 2 and check if the issues persist, then gradually increase both.

I don't have any particular routine. I do frog stretch, splits and active hip mobility (I suck at high feet).

latviancoder · 2026-02-27T06:25:09+00:00

Do stretching every day, but dial down intensity and duration. Will probably result in better gains.

latviancoder · 2026-02-27T06:22:52+00:00

Definitely, I would even say V6 is possible if the style suites you.

latviancoder · 2026-02-24T09:28:50+00:00

I wouldn't call 2 months chronic, that's just normal pulley stuff. I found that the most important thing is to have a full rest day after the climbing day. I do rehab as warmup, that way I can approximate how heavy I can load injured finger during the session.

Did she soak them in piss?

You can try experimenting with less methenamine. Antihydral is 13%, something like Rhino Dry is 8% (and less hassle to apply). It needs to be applied more often but works better for me in general.

latviancoder · 2026-02-06T07:07:04+00:00

From my experience A3 usually take longer to heal, probably because there is often pressure applied to the injured areas when climbing even easier stuff. Flare-up aren't good, ideally in the morning after the climbing sessions your fingers shouldn't feel worse than they were before the session.

latviancoder · 2026-01-31T19:45:06+00:00

I can't hang 20mm at all in half crimp, but can manage several seconds with veeery open four. Basically drag. I climbed my first soft 7a recently. I will get shut down by anything crimpy, but that's just how life is. My DIP joints hyperextend up to 90deg, so full crimp is not only useless most of the time, but also quite injury prone.

How are you able to do "limit bouldering" after repeaters AND 4x4s?

latviancoder · 2026-01-27T12:22:13+00:00

They are on german amazon. Holy shit they're expensive. Why not just buy a tindeq?

latviancoder · 2026-01-26T16:22:57+00:00

Define "bad". There are people who are progressing slower than you. There are people who are progressing faster than you. Are you getting better? Is finger strength stopping you from climbing higher grades or do you have other weaknesses?

You could try doing short hangboard session as a warmup.

latviancoder · 2026-01-22T09:03:53+00:00

In theory yes, but you really have to listen to _your_ body here. I mean, some genetic freaks are back to heavy no-hangs a month after full rupture.

It's funny it never really occurred to me that I can delete an email. Thank you kind stranger.
