It's indoors. I'll try. I'm doing boulders. Need the GI Joe kung fu grip for it.

OH, gym climbing. I thought you meant rock climbing.![]()
There's a place in Upland that you could get a job at Taco.
Could be worse...most of the people that I know working there never touch real rocks.
I just lifted 180kg from the bench press! It seems hard work is paying off, feels good.
I believe it. Lotsa folks do bouldering there just to stay in shape. That, and the guys who go there, take their shirt off, and grunt really loud when they don't stick a hold.
I never even thought of applying there. I'll give it a shot when I can. I've been real sh*tty on rock lately, so that'll help.
just got a pair or New Balance!...god is like sprintin in heaven![]()
Ahhh yes, it's that time of the year.
The gym will be full of the new resolutionaries and in less than one month, they'll all be gone again - good riddance !!
Bump time.
I posted awhile back about joining a gym and so on, but life and lack of motivation kind of stopped me from achieving that. But now I'm actually in one, and have a mad Ukrainian Ice Hockey player to egg me on, I see good things coming.
I have some simple questions. At the moment, I'm pretty much at the verge of being very unfit. We are still in the early stages of training, sort of the pre training, to the real program, and I'm being pushed quite abit,but feeling good.
But heres the thing, when I'm doing this "pre training" segment, I work and my arms are aching, in pain, but then when I start doing push ups and so on, I reach a point where I simply can't raise myself, but can hold. Its frustating.
But yeah, my goal is by June/July to be able to pass a basic Military Selection fitness test with ease. You guys think that is a reasonable?
In addition to gyming 4 times a week, I'm cutting out all junk food, drinking just water, and planning to start running and paintball again. When I'm fit enough I also intend to start more physical hobbies.
Cheers mates
Yes, it is possible. You're going to need to be doing some running though.
When you say training, are you talking free weights, body weight, resistance machine?
When getting into shape for starting reenactor season, I stumbled upon this - Marine Corps physical fitness test
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/marines/l/blfitmale.htm
After doing nothing during the whole winter, my basic total score was maybe 150. After one week of everyday running and exercising I reached 181 and today achieved score of 205. Since I am 36, I am easily in the top category
17 pull-ups, 61 sit-ups/2min and 24:45/3 mile run
Riddle me this running nerds, what is the actual difference between running on a treadmill, verses running on dirt? There is a school of thought that it is only the lack of wind resistance that makes it easier. Another that the track moving under you decreases the effort required.
