RE: Feelin' Strong, and I Got Big Dreams!

in #climbing7 years ago

Awesome! I just got back from 2 hours of bouldering and then saw your post. Would be awesome with some more climbers on steemit. My wrist does the same as yours on the slopes. I don't know why, but it feels a bit weaker when it does it. How often do you climb?

Sort:  

Well done! 2 hr session is rock solid!

I was surprised to hear that others have the same wrist issue as me -- I guess it's not that uncommon, which is reassuring. haha.

In one of the comments above, @markpu suggested putting a thin strip of tape around the wrist for support. I'm going to try it out and see if it helps -- I'll update in here with some comments.

Historically, I've been getting out to the gym around 2x week on average. Right now, with this surge of training motivation, I'm there anywhere from 4~5x/week, with some additional cardio work on the off days. How about yourself?

Damn brother. 4.5x/week is pretty great! Let me know if the tape around the wrist works. I try not to climb too many slopes because of that. I am currently at 2/week, which feels great for me at the moment. The last thing I want to do is getting injured. Also, I find that 3-4 days of rest makes me grow a lot stronger. Rest is so great if you just keep thinking about how it builds you stronger. Love it. I'll try to post a video of me climbing some time in the future. I would love it you did the same. Would be awesome to give feedback, tips etc. :)
