Mortimer Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hey show us the pics of the mini climbing wall for your niece =D Thing is that I did try climbing at a childrens playground, we use different holds due to adults having better reach and not being good in small spaces. 1 Quote Link to comment
aramis Posted August 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Semi-finished product Spoiler Grips aren't installed, as there was no screws provided. But this gives my Sis time to paint the board with clear coat. As you can see, there is lots of configuration potential - I made mounting sockets in 20 cm grid to allow for multiple "routes". Ladder was already painted/oiled, so this part is already in use. Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred. But only with a dash of milk.

aramis Posted August 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Aug. 21st S&S routine - 24 kg ___________________ And that would be all for now. The next week I'm with my family on vacation in highlands. I won't be taking any fitness stuff with me (except shoes - we plan on long walks). The cherry on top will be our Family OCR run next Saturday, on way home from vacation I won't be posting here - there is very poor mobile internet where we go, and I'm not sure if there will be any WiFi at our place.

aramis Posted August 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hey, I'm back! Vacation was great OCR went smooth - after all, it was designed to be doable for 4 year old kids (with a bit of parents' help). Day before we climbed Sokolica peak (~340m elevation), and for the whole week we were clocking in kilometers of walks like madmen. But now - back to work! And by "work" I mean my training program. After all, I want to be able to do 40kg S&S routine on my 40th birthday - this gives me 36 weeks. Better start swinging Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred.

aramis Posted September 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 12 hours ago, Mortimer said: How do you feel when doing the Turkish Get-Ups? They are great. I feel my whole body works while doing it. Breathing and holding breath is very strategic in this (as in any weight lifting), but here is couple breaths for one repetition. If I struggle with anything, it is stabilizing the kettlebell above my head all the way through the movement. Especially with bigger weight, it tends to pull sideways and I sometimes need to use extra effort to keep it in proper position. 12 hours ago, Mortimer said: Did you get any luck finding your phone? =( Nope, I accepted I lost it for good. But put on some "lost phone" flyers in the area anyway 12 hours ago, Mortimer said: I know mine is linked to Google My was linked to Google as well, but for some reason (even while synchronization was normal), FindMyPhone didn't worked.
