I've seen so much growth in my skinny hand/wrist strength and size even following a year of deadlifting regularly before climbing. I see plenty of people climbing into their old age and I plan to do the same. Way better than golfing haha.
Nice man, I hope to continue for quite some time. Just started getting outside and leading both of which rock lol. And yes, the girls who climb are no joke and have fantastic body types. It's really rather impressive. |

Be careful out there. Your mistakes get magnified tenfold on the sharp end. If you're anything less than 100%, mentally and physically, there's no shame in backing down and leading an 8a.
Luckily I have some very experienced friends and climbing partners who teach me a lot and are patient. Our gym has some great classes too which I've been getting in on. |
I sat next to girl in the ER that was there for a rock/boulder climbing incident. Slipped and whacked her ankle on the way down. Dislocation, four fractures and one the "pieces" was rotated 180°. Took her six hours to see a doc.

She jumped down from bouldering onto a pile of pads. Dislocated ankle, 3 fractures, foot was all floppy. That was the end of her climbing career, and the closest I've ever come to passing out. |
Wow, sure sounds like it. But I hate to break it to you- she never mentioned a husband. ;) I've never felt so sympathetic for somebody while being injured myself. She was a complete badass, beating back the pain, and got rewarded by being moved down the wait list.

Injuries like this are fucked up regardles of how built you are. I used to bench sets of 8 using 315 so i was fairly strong but even so i somehow managed to sprain my wrist when i did CPR when my dad passed away. I felt the sprain for about half a year.

Understanding macronutrient requirements. Smart balancing. Self control. Scheduling alcohol around your exercising habits so drinking doesn't get in the way.
Edit: or as I tell all my clients. Have some self respect and stop drinking if it get's the way of your goals. |

But I like beer and whisky.
It's not like I binge drink. I just enjoy them one at a time. Also I don't go to the gym that much because kids. |
You can like them, just do some leg work and understand when/where it is appropriate to do so.
Also don't bring your kids up as an excuse. That's in poor taste. |
