Cool to see someone doing RoP. I love the simplicity of Pavel’s workout approach, and combining it with a focused physical activity like climbing. I did Simple and Sinister for several weeks a while back, and it really helped refocus and motivate me. I also like the “it puts more in you than it takes away” philosophy of Pavel’s KB-focused programs.

100% agree. And i think this particular program compliments climbing well. Adds the hinge and the press that are missing from climbing training.

Grades are slowly starting to creep up. Very, very slowly, but i am only 1 week in. I’m definitely over 1/52 of the way “there”.

Wacked through the rest of the climbs i’d told myself i had to do, but forearms were feeling it too much to try any harder climbs. Will rest up for a few days and i can start on just worling through some projects on Monday.

Flashed a couple of hard-ish problems, fell off a lot of too-hard problems.
Was scheduled not to climb and to do a Rites of Passage session instead, but it was pissing down with rain and i couldn’t think of anywhere out of the rain and out of the house to train, so climbing it is. I need to get better at not training, i suspect i’m not doing my tendons and ligaments any favours by climbing so much without building a tolerance first.
I also think that beyond technique and grip strength (both of which i’ll train by climbing) and weight loss (diet), i probably need to up my body tension game, which is absolutely something i can work on outside the climbing gym, without stressing my grip.

Hows your flexibility. I find it very hard to climb these days compared to hen I was young because my legs just wont do things they used to. LOL

My flexibility is pretty good to be honest. Certainly good enough to climb what i want to climb. Despite some dude yesterday who was built like me put still trying to tell me the reason he couldn’t climb a problem was all the squats and deadlifts he did.

A thought occured to me when commenting in @unicornsandrainbows log, that the only way i’ve sustainably lost weight in the past, i’ve used exactly the same method, which is basically a rip off of the V-diet. I’m currently not doing that because i’m too smart for it, but i think i should go back to being stupid again.

Be stupid = eat smart. I like it. You will have the Magnus 6-pack in no time.

I see the best dietary results from simple rules.
Gaining:
6-8 eggs 1lb of mince and rice + dinner. Carbs and veg on top of that.
Cutting:
4 eggs and 1lb of meat a day. Lots of veg very few carbs.
Simple but effective.

I get the best results from very, very, very specific rules. Give me a loophole and i’ll exploit that fucker for all its worth. I, sadly, think i’ll be going back to MyFitnessPal.
I gave it up as i’d achieved what i wanted to at the time, and i was worried about getting too obsessive about food. Looking back though, i think it had the opposite effect. I’m now more obsessive about food, because i have to make decisions in the moment, every moment. When i was using MFP, i made a decision at the start of the week and then i didn’t have to think about food, i just did the things i’d decided to do. Easy.
