Am I remembering right you got sent some hot rox? If so howās it worked out? Iām curious about the biotest supplements but theyāre so expensive Iām reluctant to buy anything

I did, yeah. I havenāt made a big deal out of it because it hasnāt made a massive night and day difference. Iām only taking the lower end of the recommended dosing, because more made me feel ill. I also didnāt really establish a solid baseline before starting, so i think itās probably doing something but i donāt think itās working miracles. If i was going to invest in supplements, this would be near the top of my list, but iām not. Iāve kept back enough to last me through August and will probably leave it at that.

Iāve tried lots of stuff over the years and the reality is that theyāre a waste of my money. Iām not saying theyāre a waste of money for everyone, but itās not worth the investment for me.
I think the best supplements fill in the gaps of your diet. If you donāt have any gaps, you donāt need any supps.

I kind of agree. If i was either competing, or doing so well financially that the cost was inconsequential, iād use them, but iām not.

I take PWOs with creatine in it, but honestly at this point it is because I like tasting something fruity while I work.

Are you not allowed daiquiris at work?
I work from home mainly, so honestly I could just drink all day

Work for tonight:
2 x 30-10-30 leg raises
Tabata ground to overheads: 10kg slam ball
Notes:
- Because i had 5mins
- I think that, for August, i should make a note of every intentional bit of training i do so that, when i look back on it, i can make an honest assessment of how much effort was being applied.

Work for this morning:
300 swings
Notes:
- Started a day early because the way work is, and with the kids off school, i think this is going to be tricky to get done.

Was ok, to be honest. Didnāt set any limits or restrictions on myself, just go in and do however many in the time. Obviously, once i saw 300 was likely, that became the target.
Slightly pumpy forearms, but i donāt think at a level that will impact climbing.
Fun for tonight:
2 hours bouldering
100 extra swings
Ab work
Notes:
- Bit of a win and a loss tonight, went in with 3 problems in kind to finish the pink circuit, completed 2 of them, but found an extra one iād forgotten about. And, honestly, the last two donāt look very close to going down either.
Swings: 400/10,000 done

Whatās the play here? Get 10k swings in a month or so, no specific set/rep/total scheme?
Def a good way to get/stay leaner, and itll be good for your climbing grip longer-termā¦

@jdm135 pretty much that, yeah. Iād like something more structured, but August is a busy time at work and at home so itās just a case of do them however i can. No set rep breakdowns or anything. I havenāt even set a specific weight because iāll be using different bells. The ones at home and at the gym are 24kgs, the ones in my car and at the climbing gym are 20kgs, so iāll just use whichever is there.
@T3hPwnisher thought youād appreciate the reference, because youāre right, we always have 5mins.
