Sent a 6B bouldering problem after recovering from a finger injury for a couple of months.
wait, what?
Where is the confusion? 😅 Bouldering is a form of climbing. 6B is a difficulty grade. Fingers are those things on your hands that you use to grab stuff.
Ok but what does “sent a 6b bouldering problem” mean?
It means I managed to climb to the top. “Problem” is the term used for a specific route. Plays on the fact that climbing is not just about strength but also technique and problem solving. 🙂
Right on, congrats and thanks for explaining
I recognised that I needed a deload after hitting successive PRs for 3 weeks. I took the week “off”. This was the first time I have needed to take a deload and it means that I am making progress.
Nice! By “off” do you mean not lifting or reducing the load?
I’ve learned many lessons where I told my coach I don’t need a deload only to discover a week later how awful I feel and very much do need a deload.
I did full body routine every day with 5-6 exercises with 2 sets each, using less load. I don’t go to failure (I do in normal routine).
Recognising you need a deload is a skill you have to learn by experience. I am happy that I can judge it quite easily. My joints were getting sore and my back was sore most of the week. I could have gotten more PRs this week but I knew it was not worth it.
Third paddle board session ever, went to a huge reservoir with new girlfriend who’s been doing this for years. We paddled for over four hours and I didn’t fall! I wouldn’t have thought I could paddle that long after only 2 much shorter excursions before but it was awesome.
That sounds awesome.
After not doing cardio for years, I ran on the track after my workouts every day last week except for one (and that was simply because the gate was locked).
Also did well on bench press. Not a PR, but close to it.
Awesome. Do you enjoy running? I’ve been doing CrossFit for conditioning, which has helped me get in more cardio than ever before because it’s the only kind I don’t hate.
Eh, yes and no. Can’t say I enjoy it all that much right now, especially since I’m very out of shape for it, haha. I haven’t really run in a long time and it felt like an awkward movement for the first few days. It was nostalgic, though, since I used to run track in high school. I think I would find a longer session to be monotonous, but right now my goal is to work up to running a mile and I don’t really plan on having a longer cardio session than that. Also, I go in the evenings, and it’s been nice to be outside while the sun is going down.
Glad to hear that Crossfit has been enjoyable for you; I’ve heard other people say the same (or, similar things about crossfit-style workouts). Almost like cardio is being snuck into a workout that has more exciting things in it, lol.
