Nordic Blood: Climbing And Lifting / Lifting And Climbing

Training Training Logs
783

If anything climbing always forces my legs into my end ranges of motion. I also make sure to warm up properly by doing Cossack squats, handstand walks, cart wheels and what not to be prepared to actively resist with my muscles when my center of gravity changes in relation to where my hands are. And it keeps me from dirty bulking :slight_smile:

Climbing is great for grip work, core work and mobility. All the things (my) typical lifting programs miss out.

Throw in a bit of conditioning, and even a bit of dynamic work if youā€™re a teenage show off and its a pretty awesome mix.

Bench from today

And I still have the 40kg chin-up in me it would seem

Thatā€™s a real impressive pull up man. Iā€™m also impressed trusting that level of weight on a door frame bar. And at how patiently your cat waited for you to finish.

I think I might have a pretty big disparity between pushing and pulling that I may need to address.

It has nails running into the concrete wall so hopefully it wonā€™t come down soon. And yes, Haskell is very patient. Except when he wants out.

We used to have cats. Food time and out time were the two times theyā€™d get impatient.

789

I wish mine had genuine out-time. I mean, Haskell wants out (Emacs, the other one, doesnā€™t care) but the neighbourhood I live in is not conducive to letting them out. Assuming, that is, if you want them to come back.

790

Bad neighbourhood?

We always let the one who wanted to go out go. The other 3 just werenā€™t interested.

791

Itā€™s not so bad during winter but during summer someone might let your cat into their place and keep them for the duration of the summer.

What would you make of changing the target rep range on Day 1 for the squat to 3-5 (instead of 6-8) and on Day 3 doing back squats again but aiming for 8-12?

793

I thought you were doing deep water? I only ask because I want to see someone more human do deep water before I dip my toe.

794

Nah, Iā€™m doing Nuttyā€™s still. I might do Deep Water at some point, my old Swole 2020 idea. But, as @T3hPwnisher told me the sessions are long (which seems managable if I move the training days around) but Iā€™d probably have to give up climbing during that time if I want to live. There are some other points that are keeping me at bay as well. Primarily, when I do a program, I want to do it as written even if there are things I donā€™t agree with. In the case of Deep Water I donā€™t find the diet too appealing as I developed some eating issues during my cut and right now itā€™s more important for me to eat wholesomely than it is to follow a program to the letter.

795

Fuck that noise though, be super-human and do that program. Donā€™t let others blaze the trail when you yourself can be your own trailblazer. Go, go, go!

That works man. Do that for a few weeks and see what happens. There is no right way or wrong way to do this.

I assure you I am but Human: all too human.

Cheers!

Iā€™m unfortunately commited to my hodge podge program right now, but my own version of Swipe 2020 is likely to start with a build up to deep water style volume and may progress to deep water style squat and deadlift, if I live.

No videos today! I replaced back extensions with cable crunches here as my back was fried from deads + back squats.

Played an hour of floorball as conditioning. I donā€™t know if I can sustain that. It starts two hours after I do my DL session. Moving my weightlifting sessions around is not an option. Might just have to bite the bullet and not play ball, but it is fun though. For some reason I donā€™t end up fucking up my achilles (knock on wood). And Iā€™m not going to remove a climbing session to see if that helps with recovery. I already find two sessions to leave my mind wanting more.
