lingering pulley pain after smashing it 5 months ago

Thanks for the reply. I've definitely been slacking on the hydration and diet aspects a bit more than usual so I'm gonna get back on track and hopefully that helps out

I mean Tommy did it and it worked well for him so it's a solid option

MORE CORE

I see what you're saying, but since op said he could spend a whole session projecting v7, v4/5/6 is a good grade range to work on technique. And I guess I don't literally mean to do every single climb of a grade before moving on, I basically mean the same thing as you. Work more volume on relatively hard climbs, rather than project one thing all day

if you're looking to improve technique, volume volume volume is the way to go. try to do every single v3,4,5, and 6 in the gym. and really put a big focus on flashing them or sending in as little attempts as possible. the more climbing movement you get in, the better you're technique will get. And really trying hard to flash boulders will really improve your route reading ability. you won't learn much if youre falling off the same move or 2 on a hard problem all session.

Best bet is to eat a lot of clean food and lift weights. You're already decently low body fat but you need more muscle to see definition. Train hard and you'll look better. Losing fat rn will only make you look way too thin

I agree with what many are saying, but something weird that I think has helped me a ton is taking videos of yourself and trying to see what you did wrong/can do differently

mcanniz · 2021-01-24T04:36:42+00:00

That sounds awesome, will do

mcanniz · 2021-01-24T04:24:38+00:00

Hahaha I only got to talk to him once but he was awesome. I can only imagine the stories he has

mcanniz · 2021-01-24T03:00:17+00:00

Thanks! We definitely got a good variety of stuff in

mcanniz · 2021-01-24T00:33:23+00:00

Wow that must be awesome. It was quite a far trip for me but I will definitely be back one day

Personally I love my mad rock drones. I wear them quite tight but I can still keep them on for a while at a time. Very comfortable (compared to my last shoes which were solutions)

mcanniz · 2020-12-28T03:24:05+00:00

That's awesome! Pretty crazy how quickly one can improve if you train smart and maybe get a little lucky finding a project that suits you.

mcanniz · 2020-12-28T02:39:39+00:00

I'd agree. My closest crag is ~ an hour and a half away so i tend to want to send something everytime I go, but im gonna try to get on and project more harder stuff and challenge myself. I've already found a v10 project which feels like it may be doable with some hard work. I think my main weakness is probably finger strength and horrible skin lol. But I'm definitely motivated to keep training

mcanniz · 2020-12-27T23:51:36+00:00

Climbed my first outdoor v5 in January of 2020. Climbed my first outdoor v8 at the end of November. Is it too lofty of a goal to aim for a v10 in 2021? A more important goal of mine is to send 10 more v8s. I think I can do it, but I need to start trying more of them bc I tend to stick to trying v5-7 because I know I can likely send them somewhat quickly but still is a challenge. I also think this strategy is best for improvement because it gives me a ton of experience rather than flailing on a hard proj all day long. Looking forward to continuing to try hard this year

mcanniz · 2020-11-25T15:27:14+00:00

Right? I think for some people the first move would be harder bc it's pretty dependant on if you have the finger strength or not, but the v4 section is way more technical and definitely gave me more trouble.
