So I have a question as far as injuries go. It's not so much of an injury as much as a tweak. Little background I guess I climb 4 times or so a week, specifically bouldering. I boulder at around v8-9 and I have found out of the blue when I heel hook with my left leg there is a sharp pain in the pit or back side of my leg. Wondering if it just needs to be stretched out more or what.

ConspicuousEvil posted:Do you stretch your legs before you climb now? If not, then I would definitely suggest stretching your hamstrings and doing butterflies stretches before you start climbing. If so, is the pain located at your knee, or somewhere else in your leg? if it's your knee then you could have some IT-band issues or something else related to connective tissue, like tendonitis. It's more of on the left back side of my knee. Since I've noticed the pain I have started stretching.

Recently been pushing through a plateau myself....finally. Been bouldering around 7's and on a good day 8's but now I'm consistently hammering those down too. I've started a campus board program as well as I built a peg board in my back yard to really work on one arm lock off strength. From switching to training more then climbing, when I do climb I feel a lot stronger. Also I've incorporated once a week the "Daniel woods special" which you should be able to find the video of it on YouTube. If anyone has questions about strength gains ask away. By the way my plateau was caused by excessive drinking and eating like a neck beard more so then usual. So nutrition, nutrition, nutrition people

quote:I actually had a follow up question - how long have you guys been climbing until you got injured? The kind of injury that puts you out of climbing for 1+ months (tendon injuries/sprains or whatever). I've only had a mild ankle sprain so far but nothing serious enough to keep me from climbing. Judging by all the injury posts though, I'm guessing it might just be a matter of time before I'm due. I climbed maybe two years before my first injury which to be honest almost all of my finger/arm injuries are due to not warming up fully. Which I can't stress enough! I always warm up 25-30 minutes before I pull onto anything even moderate. Warm up being non strenuous static climbing at low grades as well as stretching before that.

This would hold true if you were climbing the same route...every time you climb. Each route or problem has different movement. Yea your still working out arms and core and whatever but you use specific muscle groups for each climb. That being said if your really worried about it climb every other day. I train about 5-6 days a week but the days that take the most energy are spaced every other day.

I've recently become a fan of my normal sizing of the 5.10 moccasins for trad and buying a size or half size smaller then that for bouldering mainly so that they are tight enough that they don't slip off doing heel hooks.

The fact that it actually said that somewhere is somewhat laughable. Hang boards are great/original training system for climbing, other then climbing. You can see gains in as little as 3 weeks of consistent use. That being said you need to know how to use it in a way that you will see gains and not injure yourself. My advice is look up different hang workouts. Download hang timer from whatever app thing and focus on largest grips at maximum weight until your work out gets to easy then start making your way down the board. Open hand, open hand, open hand everything. On pull ups. The actual action of doing pull ups in repetition is benign for climbing. The way they can be beneficial is by adding weight! Weighted pull ups are a fairly easy way to boost pull strength. My last comment is about core. As a general statement core is everything. So work that poo poo out!

deck posted:There's no real rules here. Only you can know if you're overdoing it, and you might not realize it until something pops. I'd like to over emphasize this. There are no set in stone standards. What works for you may not work for others. This really applies to climbing! Probably why people love bouldering so much! It's the problem solving!

crazycello posted:Nope but I'll be there in late March. Any advice for someone who hasn't climbed in the area before? Get a book, get cheap day old goodness at shats bakery, there's a hostel now, get a fire permit it's free and you can do it from your phone, get a book, bring a friend! If you are staying for a while try the happys, sads, and the milks. If you stay at the pit sometimes there are huge mosquitos and I've had problems with one of the camp hosts there(was probably the loud laughing and whip cracking). Final note, bring your balls and do a highball. I recommend heavenly path if you are looking for something easy!

All my alpine are bd slings and neutrinos. Make sure to get a few long ones if you get anything else get maybe a bd 4 and a 5. Those ones you may not use often but got drat so happy you have it when you need it. I have a double rack but only going up to bd 3s. So if I ever get into that size crack I usually just run it out and not think about it till I find a sexy spot for something else. Mainly when I've needed bigger cams it was too build an easier anchor. That being said usually you can find ways around it. Just may not be the prettiest or easiest.
