dapokerbum 0 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Gooch, those pictures look awesome. I can't wait to be at that level.Right now it is just a fun thing at the indoor gym near my house. Doing a mix of bouldering and Top Roping. On bouldering I can do the VB and V0 routes fairly well, V1 starts to give me some trouble, but I am sure with time I will start to be able to do the others. On the TR I can do the 5.7 and 5.8 fairly well. I have tried a few 5.9's but they too give me some trouble. Was talking to a friend of mine who has done some sport climbing in the past and we are just trying to get our strength up for it and then we will probably try to go outdoors and hit some sport routes. There are a few bouldering places near my house, so once Daylight Savings Time kicks in, I might start to go there after work to get in some quick sessions. Link to post Share on other sites

dapokerbum 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Weighed in at 212.6 yesterday, so about 10 already gone.I got rid of the shin splints just by getting new running shoes lol.How goes the bet man? Did you fall off the wagon yet or are you getting down to your goal?I have been keeping up with my running and I am really starting to like the rock climbing. It is just such a great workout and you don't even feel like you're working out. It's like you are a kid again and you have this huge jungle gym in front of you. I was there for two hours last night doing various Top Rope Routes and finished the last half hour with some bouldering. I am looking forward to getting out and doing some outdoor routes soon. A few friends and I are trying to plan a trip to Yosemite in May. Hopefully it all works out for us. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 How goes the bet man?

I was there for two hours last night doing various Top Rope Routes and finished the last half hour with some bouldering. I am looking forward to getting out and doing some outdoor routes soon. A few friends and I are trying to plan a trip to Yosemite in May. Hopefully it all works out for us.Sorry I forgot about this thread.I have one week to go in the bet and I've already lost the 30 pounds. I have been good with working out everyday. I've gotten used to running every other day, and swimming on days I don't run. The bitch is the exercise bike. On days I swim I also do a little bit of situps, pushups, squats, and benchpress along with 30 min on the exercise bike. That thing kicks my ass. I push myself pretty hard on it.For the most part I have been pretty good with the diet. About once every 2 weeks I get restless and eat a bunch of shit I shouldn't be eating. For instance last week I weighed in at 188.0 on Thursday and after a weekend of beer and french fries I weighed in today at 192. But this week I'll be fine and I should win the bet easily. I think for the most part I've kicked my eating problem, and I don't crave shitty food all the time anymore.So right now I'm 192 down from 222 at the start of the bet in the middle of January. At the heaviest I was at 240 last summer. I feel great and I can actually fit into all my XL shirts from college now. Also, I'm not sweating so much all the time. The bet has been really good for me.I'll post some before and after pics a little later. Link to post Share on other sites
