I’m currently in the middle of a workout, doing endless sets of dead bugs as remedial core work so I can eventually have bigger lifts and better climbing performance.
This kind of attitude (like, the one the meme is joking about, not the meme itself) annoys me, since I feel like it ultimately sets back most of the people it is supposedly trying to inspire.
Like, waking up at 4am is dumb for almost everyone, almost all the time - especially if your goal is to work out. Your body needs a certain amount of sleep to recover and function well, and shorting it sleep to get more training in is likely setting you back more than giving you gains. And if you are getting the same amount of sleep total each day anyway… why not just wake up later and get your workout in in the afternoon? If you are really that crunched for time and stressed out, the optimal solution is more likely to simply reduce the number of workouts per week. More recovery time means both less overtraining, and a better training stimulus with each workout since you are more rested going into it.
Hey a fellow climber. At first I thought how odd but most climbers are nerds and most of Lemmy is nerds so probably loads of climbers on here.
Do you know of any climbing subs on here?
Looks like this is the biggest one, but pretty dead unfortunately.
I’ve heard this phrased before as “why are there so many engineers in climbing?” And most people say “something something puzzles.” I then present my theory that the reason is that engineers are a bunch of nerds with poor social skills, and climbing gives them an easy way to socialize

Based on the friend I have who is an autistic poly climber girl who keeps inviting me to blues dance nights… yes
