I'm feeling guilty as hell about cutting workouts with my trainer to once a week. :(

pull ups are weirdly satisfying. wish i had a bar in my apt where i could do a few here and there. lifetime goal of mine to be able to do 4x10 of them.

I'm still working on the assisted pullup machine- 2 sets of 10 with an 80 pound assist, which I know is pretty fucking sad. But! Doing that (also posterior chain stuff like deadlifts) has helped immensely with bouldering, and after the huge initial difficulty curve I'm starting to slowly make my way up the grades (my current best is a V2-).

start with assisted ones and youll get over the bar in no time!
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 23:00 (nine years ago) link
could always start with chinups (palms in) which are "easier" but i've never looked into why heh
― goole, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 23:01 (nine years ago) link
greater emphasis on arm muscles rather than the lats which are usually weaker? idk
i could google pullup vs chinup (and did! once) but i don't feel like wading thru the broscience right now
fwiw i think rippetoe says there's no functional difference over time
― goole, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 23:02 (nine years ago) link
i do both also neutral grip
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 23:05 (nine years ago) link
Neutral grip pull-ups are easiest for me and they're the least likely to cause elbow or shoulder pain IIRC

according to training for the new alpinism doing weighted one-rep pullups for a while will up yr pullup game more than anything
that book btw i think is a p dece 'basic fitness' plan even if you are not into climbing. alpinism is just walking a lot and swinging tools and imo is a better benchmark for fitness than dumb ol olympic lifting (said by someone that only squatted with a bar less than a week ago)

have been mostly doing body weight exercises (pushups, pull-ups, dips, some yoga stuff) and biking every day but haven't touched a weight in like two months. i dunno how to start again.

i wd need to get a gym buddy to go to a (free) gym

planet fitness is wildly inexpensive morbs fwiw, and if u show up early enough theres free coffee/bagels (dunkin donuts brand)
― lag∞n, Friday, 14 November 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link
haha bagels at the gym, what's the point of that?
― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Friday, 14 November 2014 16:56 (nine years ago) link
the whole concept of "gym buddy" makes me shudder, i imagine dudes with fingerless gloves hitting each other on the arm and barking at each other like seals then going back home to pound protein shakes and browse expensive watches online
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 November 2014 16:56 (nine years ago) link
its good to have someone to spot u, also protein shakes are a must, not that i ever go to the gym or workout w anyone lol
