Gains

Just finished the last of the 5/3/1 week with squats. Lessee, it was 210, 235, and 265. Got a double with the 265, but it was no fun. Did everything else but the ham curls, cuz i was out of time. Problem was i weighed in at 204 lbs pre-squats. That's a li'l depressing. i've loosened up the diet a fairly small bit, and i haven't run in a week or so, but that's it really. Can't figure out why i'm so dang heavy.

On a brighter note, i climbed today with pretty happy results. Warmed up and got this v5 i'd done before. Then i got a new v6. Took maybe three tries, and it was terrible sloppy climbing, but i projectile-vomited my hands toward the finish hold, and stuck. Very happy, 'cuz the qi flowed viscous and fetid through sunless meridians. i then tried another v6--the one i did on monday (just to say i'd done two in a day.)Only i didn't latch the finish hold, so i gave up.

So i went to work on a 6 i tried on wed. i'd failed pretty miserably, but i thought it was because i was tired. In fact, it was because the crux at the finish was just friggin' hard. Really, really flippin' hard. But i got it. i dragged my carcass over the top of the boulder trying not to whimper, 'cuz i was absolutely juiced and i couldn't find anything big enough to hold onto. Totally freaked. Gripped. No way i would'a done that if i didn't know there was a huge fluffy pad a very long way under my footsies. But it went.

Then i did that v5 again on the way out the door to show a bud the beta. i question the fiveyness of the route, but i'm taking it. So that made (nearly) three v6s (two of 'em new acquisitions) and a double rep on v5 at 204lbs.

i'm fat, but that ain't the worst climbing day i've ever had. And maybe it'll be a tad cooler in Denver, and i can make my chunky butt run again.
