You should be bouldering, Jow Forums

It's an awful meme sport here in Europe atm. A friend dragged my there once and it was all soy.

I'm really curious as to why that is. Climbing doesn't exactly emphasize glute/thigh strength, and all the dudes at my gym (who are any good) are lean all over, but still the chicks are totally bottom-heavy.

Not complaining, of course.

i dont get it

Ive been a couple times and im like fucking dragging my body up the wall

mean while literal soyboys are climbing it without a problem.

My form is all fucked up because i shouldn't be expending as much energy as I do.

Buddy tape and avoid crimpy routes my man. Gotta physical therapy your way back.

bouldering in the Grand Canyon with no safety equipment is the only way to make it

So to get a body like his, start climbing?

My Uni gym has a rockwall so I do boulder user.

Test your grip-strength against theirs to see how well the soyboy narrative holds up.

Truth is - beyond fashion and facial hair choices - it's a sport like any other. They're specialists, but with enough practice you'll be, too.

Essentially. He's got pecs because he does antagonistic work as well, which you should be doing.

Just don't ask for a handy and it's all good.

Seriously though if you climb a decent amount and fuck a chick who does the same, the sex is pretty next-level. Just insane body control.

Because you think bodybuilding gives you functional strength.

It's always the same, people who lift weights but do no other sport think they could excel at any sport cause of their muscles.

Just plain narcissism.

I've tried once. My knees were hurting for a few days after because of those stupid jumps down

>climbing fake rocks built specifically to be able to be climbed is now a sport

Yep, rest no more than a few weeks, then you need to start rehabing, light controlled finger boarding is the best. People think it's hard on the fingers but it's a much more controlled environment than the rock or wall. All physios I've heard talking on the subject say the same - rest a few weeks then get back to it, nothing you do should hurt more than 10min after you stop, keep to that rule and you will be back much quicker.

I started doing top-roping at the gym here that has a neat rock wall and it's pretty fun trying to do the harder and harder routes but I'm still pretty low tier. They also have a bouldering-specific area as well as 20ft marks on the regular wall that they won't let you go past. I haven't tried the bouldering at all yet and I have no idea how to fall correctly, kind of want to try soon when it's empty. Also hear you can boulder here whenever the rec center is open even if the wall isn't, so I can look like a retard without (as many) people watching me.
I fucking WISH there was a real climbing gym here though this shit is super fun I just feel autistic going

There are wold comps and climbing will be in the next olympics, so yes, it's a sport.

fall onto feet while rolling onto your butt.

>bigging yourself up

Most climbers use indoor gyms just to train for outdoor climbing retard
