hey guys im trying to step my climbing game up some. ive been climbing for alittle over 2 and a half years and am around a v9 climber inside but i wanna push myself up to that next level. i wouldnt say ive plateaued as im obviously still improving but i wanna keep facilitating the improvement without risking to many injuries. i also want to improve my outdoor bouldering as its not quite as strong, likely a factor of me not gettin out to boulder too often.. any tips to bust into the double digits inside and outside? ive just started campus boardin and it seems to help some but beyond that any more tips . ive checked around the internet for various tips but i figured id through it out to the public for some help. also i dont care about grammar so no smartass comments about my lack of capitalization ect.
thanks

Yeah totally thats the goal ya caught me. Try to stay on topic instead of turnin this into some stupid argument thread cuz your upset i climb harder than you. Im just lazy and didn't feel like goin back and typing it out perfect. We all know that an english degree will get you really far in life. Go troll somewhere else. So anyone else got any real tips and not nonsense.

Nah... Now we're gonna trash you because you're a douchebag.

Im 21 but sure 16 works glad you accomplished your goal of ruinin the tread good work. Maybe ill try again another time for help obviously this isnt the place to find it all i found was a few immature hypocrite kids who like to waste a great tool where climbers could talk and help e.o. But obviously itd be more fun to act like little kids and attach ppl behind the defense of a ip address

YES! In the ultimate act of n00bdom, we have the lame-ass removal of the original post thinking that maybe the thread will disappear or something.

Dude grow up sorry im new to the site. Im glad i spent the last 3 hrs climbing and training and not on this site. Anyways again can we please just stay on topic. Obviously i now know never ever to use wrong grammar on a site full of grammar nazis and hypocrites. All i wanted was a few tips without being grammar raped by internet goons with too much time. And to the guy with the english degree who was moderatly helpful you have the wrong idea about im not a boaster or concieted stuck up kid.

1. It's best to lurk for a while to get the tone of the forums before making a post. The FAQ that was offered when you joined the site says as much.

2. *You* were the one who brought up the whole spelling and grammar thing with quite the arrogant attitude. Had you shut up about that probably no one would have really noticed. You intentionally drew attention to that. Then you got all butthurt when others pointed out that you're being a bit of an ass.

And to the guy with the english degree who was moderatly helpful you have the wrong idea about im not a boaster or concieted stuck up kid. I am very coachable as i grew up a wrestler and know who to listen to and how to adapt to what a coach tells me to. I just dont enjoy being attacked by internet trolls about every little detail. Btw i climb at the edge halfmoon in halfmoon new york and i would appreciate a coaching lead as i do really want to improve. I have serious hopes to become much better and as i have all my wrestling drive being put into climbing now as i now longer wrestle much.

No use trying to rationalize your immaturity to me i was just stating a fact so that it need not be brought up but you brought it up anyway. Also, butthurt? really?? And i did lurk a little and found that you guys were particularly harsh on grammar so i figured i point it our for you guys. hence my mildly defiant tone, due to the unnecessary grammar correction record here on the site. Also nothing else in my initial post came off as "douchy" it was an honest and simple request for some tips which you promptly ruined. and yeah maybe i called you out on climbing ability but come on and just let this be a damn technique/training forum and not a grammar lesson/ attempted life lesson. none of you guys know me and its a little rushed to try and judge me from a single post while being antagonized. So yeah back to climbing shit.

Yeah there is quite a few of us close friends in the 8-10 range and no need to stalk just ask for taylor. You clearly dont spend much time there otherwise youd know me and the rest of the hard boulders seein as were there 4 or 5 times a week.

anyways this is obviously geting more and more useless. im gunna go try 8a and see if there are more climbers there than internet trolls which seem to have a firm grip on this site that could be a really useful tool for climbers every where. since none of you are generous enough to of much help i figured ill throw my own two cents into the can. for anyone reading this my advice in my own post is to eat healthy, work technique to perfection, learn the feeling that you get when you hit every single technique so that you can feel out the right positions first try on all but your hardest projects. feel plays a big role in climbing and if you can feel when you have the correct body position before you try to make a move it can greatly improve technique. also work directional pulling technique both with feet and hands. aka pulling in the direction of the hold weather it be with a toe pulling in a heel pulling down or a hand on an underling ect. now i just accomplished giving out more free tips in one post than all of you did in the last 15. also i have found significant improvement when combing calisthenics at a high intensity, push ups pull ups and sit ups and other simple exercises until failure, with my climbing and at this point very simple campus/hang board work outs. Comments like this is what the forum are designed for not ripping apart a new member because he happened to use the word smartass in a sentence.

sorry i am a full time college student ...

sorry i am a full time college student with multiple jobs and its ridiculously inconvenient for me to get outside on any regular basis. and last i checked a 5 min mile on a treadmill is much much harder than a 5 min mile on a track, i know because i have done both. it was a shitty analogy. and also in context the number of times i climb was relevant try reading the post it was a response to.

Oh my lord. It's like searching for a grain of truth in a stream of mental diarrhea.

I mentioned 9 out of 10 climbers earlier. That book is about determining how to most effectively use the limited time you have to train, and how to determine what portions of your training you are waiting your time on. It seems like it would be pretty close to what you are looking for.


Gah! Why do you make it so easy?

Second person in a row to use an either bad or inappropriate (in a lingual sense) analogy. could you please point out why what i said was 'mental diarrhea" and why your comment wasnt much of the same.

It was a bad metaphor because no one looks through shit for a grain of truth

Well i will certainly look at the book but i could do with out your snide comments ect. It was a bad metaphor because no one looks through shit for a grain of truth

First off i have no respect for anyone who uses the term butt hurt what are you a high school bro from cali. get over yourself all i asked for was a few damn tips with one sentence that you clearly all thought was the worst thing you ever read. and yeah read my above post and call me dumb again.

Heres the deal guys not a single one of you know who i am or my educational background. Sorry I skipped on perfect grammar ect. Next time i make a post ill make sure it is perfect both in a grammar sense and make sure it flows better so you guys don't have to think at all to answer the questions. Sorry its too hard for you to read without it being perfectly formatted. Most people assume the internet has more of a speaking tone as opposed to a scholarly tone which you all obviously needlessly expected from me. If guys want me to type perfectly and put together a well written essay i will. But this is the internet and its filled with know nothing trolls so i passed on perfection. If you care to do some research about my education go Google Williams college in Williamson mass and get back to me. Spoiler alert Forbes would like to call it one of the top 3 schools period in the country each of the last 3 years. now however i am an atmospheric science major at the university at albany, one of the best atmospheric science programs in the country. And yes i am bragging some but only because you all seem to think your a bunch of god damn savants. So just because i don't use perfect grammar on a god damn internet forum meant for climbing and not a fucking peer review team on my grammar doesn't mean you should jump the outlandishly incorrect and abrupt conclusion that a. you know me or that b. your smarter than me in any manor. Im never going to use this site again for advice since not one of you can do any better than direct me to some book. And im quickly starting to think that most of you who replied here don't know your shit and have no business even being on a tread about technique/training. Thats just how i see it tho. All this post needed was a few helpful tips and it could have been done with. Instead however, it turned rather quickly into this bull shit waste of time that guys facilitated. Good day.

I think you should ask for your money back...it is clearly not working.
