Now you’re just showing off. Ring muscle ups? Front levers? Disgusting.

Straddle Front lever*, can’t quite hold a front lever yet, but yea open gym was fun to just play around with some rings set up to the right heights

Awesome sessions pinky and I would tend to echo @Frank_C “showing off” Quality work nonetheless.

So the 5 plate deadlifts for multiple sets of 10 didn’t phase you, no? Or the power shrug for 5 plates?

I mean, it was Sumo, that’s practically like using the Smith Machine for curls.

Cripes, this log. Why not just transition those straddle levers into ring muscle ups and be done with it, you lazy slob.

Ha I did transition the back lever into the front lever, but seemed like unnecessary details.

I will have to do the muscle up in the same circuit next time now though, challenge accepted

I feel that @Pinkylifting is one of the few people with the right to do so :laughing:

Ah, so there is one thing where I surpass you. Grip. Yay.

Pyrrhic victory

Speaking of grip, I’m just amazed in the climbing hall nowadays with some of the blokes and gals. See, we used to have this really shoddy hall where it was just me and a few others but since then a brand-spanking new one was built which attracted a lot of new people. Most of them climb 4-5 sessions weekly, leaving me in the proverbial dust obviously and they can grab on to the tiniest slivers of a crease no problem.

It has made me appreciate how amazing humans are, and how much frequency of practice really matters.

Yea my DoH really is a glaring weakness, for a single 200 is my absolute limit.

Always so impressed by top cimbers, love going climbing, haven’t been in a while but was never more than very novice. Some of the things you see people do, those speed climbers for example, so impressive.

Something I’m looking forward to taking up again when my son is old enough to have a go. Nice family exercise activity.

So focused on counting reps that I forget to count sets.

The grips on the speed climb route (same everywhere) are actually super duper nice and don’t demand much by the way of grip strength. It’s nevertheless impressive, because a good speed climbing performance demands dedicated practice in the same way playing a intricate piece of music demands practice. The movements needs to be pristine and completely without excess and flow into each other.

How embarassing. I think I speak on behalf of the entire TN community when I say that this is simply not good enough.

That’s how I got started. Of course, my dad dropped out when I started beating him.
