Last week, I developed a case of hemorrhoids due to over-straining on Butterfingers. Woa, definitely a sign that I need to concentrate on mental aspect of climbing! That is what I am going to do at Smith. I am going to practice taking falls on gear! I am going to set some air mileage goals for the trip shortly.
I am happy to announce that my elbows are 100% recovered. I did an LB session yesterday despite my earlier decision not to pursue Power phase any longer. I am still looking at what to do with my last stalled training cycle.
So far, here is the list of things that I must do differently in the future:
- Go into every workout with the stressed body parts 100% recovered and injury free! Ask questions:
- Are the muscles and tendons that I am going stress 100% injury free?
- Will there be enough time after this workout to recover before a climbing trip?
- Stretch arms before and after every climbing/workout. Also, stretch them on the recovery day 2-3 times.
- Opposing muscle and strengthening exercises after every workout: reverse curls, shoulder raises, lat lifts. I will look up for more shoulder exercises.
- Perform training efficiently. No more 4-5 hour workouts. The workout should be done within 2-3 hours max. This will limit opportunity of extra stress and increase rest time.
