340 lbs.

Today i was jonesing for a workout, and wanted to see what the guns felt like after a whole off day. Definitely not back to 100 por ciento, pero fue quiza a 85ish. It made for a good workout actually. i'm not very disciplined, you see, so if i've got it in me, i climb the hardest things my li'l hands will hold on to and then go home every single time i go in. Today i started with a burn on the Nemesis v3, saw right off the bat that they wuz no way in hizzell i was gonna get that last hold, and i got on with climbing every v0 and v1 i came across. i concentrated on climbing as efficiently and easily as i could, for to stretch it out as long as i could; and when i got sloppy, i dropped off the route. It made for a white hot burn in my forearms that i haven't experienced in a long time. Also i'm sore in some very odd muscles (each of which my viscious chilluns discovered with eerie efficiency whereupon they'd mercilessly jam one of their bony appendages into it as if to exorcise it) including my left iliopsoas, which is presently preventing me from lifting that leg off the ground. Excellent workout.

Also i signed up fer th' Yank 'n' Yard today. Very excited am i.

And to answer your question 'bout the plyo, etc., i've been stretching rather extensively, and have recently added in some calf stretches to the routine, which has seemingly done a lot of good for that achilles tendon. Haven't put any twisting force on it to test it (and don't plan to), but i've noticed that it doesn't hurt me when i land now, even from some pretty big drops.

And if you decide at the last minute that making 700 C in one day maybe isn't the answer to your spiritual quest after all, you're still welcome to haul that up here and climb with me. My mother in law even said she wants to go watch it. Be a good time.
