I’m not recommending this for everyone but just reporting a way i bumped up the next grade bouldering today. I did a 3 day drinking only water (mixed with some salt) fast to help support my sister who was doing it for health reasons. Anyway hit the bouldering gym on the 3rd day and was absolutely crushing it. I lost 4kg in the process, saved some money on food and sent 4 routes i couldn’t do before relatively easily. What a way to go up a grade🤣

Roof pulls are always my weakness. There's no feet? Taller people reach out usable part of that side pull. Stronger people campus. I'm neither taller or stronger. My only thoughts were to maybe lock off next time, but every ounce of my being is required to keep the body tension that keeps my feet stuck in that wall. Anything for me?

2 weeks since I dislocated my shoulder rock climbing. Here's a quick update. Gained a little bit of mobility, but still really restricted, and pain has reduced a fair bit. Have 2 new physio exercises along with my old ones. - Static resistance band holds for 20s (new) - Dowel stick abductions x 5 (new) - Unassisted arm rotations x many - Hanging arm pendulums x many Still got one more week in the sling but that's it for now! Video attached if you're interested, cheers. https://youtube.com/shorts/atxZH0VbujQ?feature=share

I dislocated my shoulder climbing, and have started a YouTube to to share what I learn over the healing journey. If you're interested at all check it out 👍 Https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zQG1Krm4920

So I was climbing a 13a on the weekend and Bamm! My should popped out, I took a fall, and it popped back in. How do you maintain psych when injured? Hopefully after some rest, rehab and physio I can get back to my level of fitness. In the meantime, got any recommendations for staying fit?
