Climbing is awesome and bouldering is great for building strength and technique. I miss my old city which had three climbing gyms as opposed to my current one with zero.

Instead I just lift, bro. Five days a week.

i used to live in boulder co, which was amazing cause its about ten minutes from amazing sport or bouldering, as well as the three aforementioned gyms

i now live in pueblo which has a climbing wall at the ymca which is sub-par. theres some outside climbing about 45 mins away but i dont really know anyone down here who climbs

yeah swolebros on the wall always make me laugh because they almost invariably neglect their core and therefore cant climb for shit

How the Other Half Lifts: What Your Workout Says About Your Social Class

I’d spent half a lifetime dedicated to athletics more common among urban liberals like myself—jogging, cycling, swimming, pursuing cardiovascular fitness instead of brute force.
“I’m really into lifting weights right now,” I said. “Trying to get strong.”

The lawyer’s wife, a marathoner and family therapist, appeared startled, as if concerned about my emotional state. She looked me in the eye and said, “Why?”



Soon, however, I suffered a creeping insecurity. Looking into the eyes of a banker with soft hands, I imagined him thinking, You deluded moron, what does muscle have to do with anything?

Sociologists, it turns out, have studied these covert athletic biases. Carl Stempel, for example, writing in the International Review for the Sociology of Sport, argues that upper middle class Americans avoid “excessive displays of strength,” viewing the bodybuilder look as vulgar overcompensation for wounded manhood. The so-called dominant classes, Stempel writes—especially those like my friends and myself, richer in fancy degrees than in actual dollars—tend to express dominance through strenuous aerobic sports that display moral character, self-control, and self-development, rather than physical dominance. By chasing pure strength, in other words, packing on all that muscle, I had violated the unspoken prejudices—and dearly held self-definitions—of my social group.

yeah its no joke. i had back pain until around age 18. the change in posture due to lifting made it go away entirely

i remember looking at a climbing thread on the something awful forums sometime around 2005 and saw a post about how "every time some dumb football player comes to the climbing gym i climb way higher than he does and help his girlfriend out too" and i quit the website shortly after that, but anyway it's cool to see that certain forms of shameful nerdy wish-fulfillment stay consistent throughout time and presumably place

i used to do a bunch of sports stuff but basically destroyed my body in the process so for the moment loaded carries, hip thrusts, pullups & yoga during the week, run up mountain trails on the weekend.

thats a good routine, try sumo deadlifts thats what i did because i got sick of baby sitting my form (for sumo imo its a lot easier although its harder to get the weight off the floor)

I just do pushups. I used to do pull ups but I moved and didn't bring my bar. So now it's that, biking casually, and picking up and putting down boxes at my work for hours at a time.

can i lift on a calorie deficit? i take bcaa before cycling on an empty stomach, so i could also take that before lifting, but i don't think it would do anything.
#32
Post rating: ~
i never thought bcaas were worth much of anything, personally. if you eat enough food to support your body you can lift on a deficit, but if you try to go for personal records consistently you'll probably break yourself

weight lifting is a great hobby for insecure nerds. the engineers that i went to college with who went off to make six figures at tech companies are constantly telling me about all of the health benefits to weight lifting right after they get done talking about how /r/seduction is full of useful advice and which league of legends character they're playing this week.

exercise is cool. it's harder to get sad about anything, even things you should get sad about, because you're winded like you just ran from all the animals we assassinated with rocks. you get closer to the earth and start dating aggressive paleo diet people who talk about it to you during church, because paleo diet don't give a fuck. in conclusion i recommend haing a notepad or something and writign down the exercises you do so you can see if you did more next time.
