Yaaayy a sprained ankle & a weakened shoulder, i can't fucking bench press without intense pain now ahahah t-thanks fit
Gee, maybe you should've trained F U N C T I O N A L L Y instead of doing a shitty brosplit. Now you got your shitty ass balloon muscles and a bunch of weak tendons and ligaments that can't even hold your own bodyweight.
>retarded thots can do it >you get injured on your first try sad!
Jaxon Scott
maybe you shouldnt be running a trash bodybuilding routine lmfao
Lincoln Myers
That's why you go slow, m8, and if you feel uncomfortable on a route, stop and either try again or just do a different one.
Xavier Allen
It's fucking bouldering, you couldn't just drop to the mat?
Jaxon Morris
Thats what you get for being a soi and going to a "gym" to climb a childrens rock wall with lesbians and vegans. When you finished did you go REI to buy a new down vest, because lets be honest, it was in the same strip mall wasnt it?

Zachary Barnes
u should not reproduce. categorically. bouldering was first filter in famous sixpack spartan nation.
I love bouldering. Been thinking about going for a long time due to family history of climbing and natural interest. Started going bouldering as part of mandatory college sports choice a month ago. Tfw when no classes for 2 weeks right, and classes are once every week. Tfw Im going actual rock climbing w grandfather this summer. Life is good.
Justin Barnes
Fuck off
Angel Green
I was planning to drop but the foothold was a volume and i slipped
i'm scared for my shoulder now, i hope it'll heal on its own ( can't afford healthcare)
Parker Robinson
This.
Fuck i hate bouldering gyms.
Camden Garcia
im not even gonn ask for body pic, just tell me how much do you weight, big man?
Elijah Long
Unironically this. I don't really see something inherently wrong with the activity but the people who frequent climbing gyms tend to be major tools.
Gavin Howard
160lb 5’9”
I climb around v7ish
And my local gym is filled with lesbians and vegans.
Leo Watson
>doing a whole new form of exercise for the first time, better go as hard as I fucking can, surely nothing can go wrong
Lucas Phillips
Isn't this in Reading
Jackson Reyes
>I hAtE BoUlDeRiNg gYMs >btw i climb v7
why do you frequent places you hate ?
Nolan Scott
I was watching jujumifu/ magnus videos and they were talking about climber hand strengthening exercises. Lots of high intensity, long rest holds in various hand positions. Ie, 30 second half crimp holds on a 1 pad ledge, 4 minutes rest x4.
>mfw can't even get into the hold position for more than a second.
Parker Baker
why are you blaming Jow Forums for your low IQ?
Connor Brooks
Is this the bouldering version of "I squat my body weight and now I'm in the hospital"?
Alexander Watson
One side is bouldering the other is basically a crossfit gym but for half the price.
Nolan Bell
Lmao pathetic had you never done a pull up in your life? Also climbing gyms are full of homos and lesbians, don't fall for the meme of meeting women there.
Colton Evans
Must've been a gaston
Hudson Brown
>homos and lesbians Just don't go to a bouldering gym (or a commercial gym with large bouldering area) because that's where all the hipsters faggots and the dykes they escort congregate. I climb at a college wall with regulars that don't suck and mostly top/lead climb because bouldering is fucking gay. But even the regular boulderers here are cool guys because it's a different environment from 'pay us 40-60 bucks a month to set a v6 that feels more like a v3-4 so you can feel good and post it on your instagram' type shit.
ah the typical 'not all climbers are lesbians and vegans but all lesbians and vegans are climbers'
Andrew Clark
Good job being retarded
Jose Bell
t. v0
Jaxon Perez
Only mutt gyms meme grade their boulders
Aaron Parker
I love climbing but hate climbers. Just get used to blocking them out and doing your own thing.
Matthew Bennett
Vegans have brittle bones due to their nutrient deficiencies and even they don’t snap their shit up on rock walls.
David Phillips
So most commercial gyms that have opened recently to make money off the fad?
Asher Ortiz
You can ask the people that work at the gym. They are usually seasoned boulderers, that have been through this shit before (or know people that have been through this). It's not you. Ignore the copecels in this thread. It's a thing all lifters have, when they go climbing. Sure they have muscles, but they don't have balance, technique, or the legs/shouders/core to properly support them. It's like a phisical dunning-kreuger
Jose Rivera
>imagine being so stiff and immobile that you severely hurt yourself doing something fucking toddlers can do pathetic
I love it when some blown up gym bro's show up at the climbing gym their first time, and of course they can't try something easy first, no, it must at least be 5.11 or something, because that skinny, tiny girl just ran up a 5.10 next to them, so of course they must pull something harder and then they either can't leave the floor or barely make it to the first bolt, where they give up and have their egos shattered.
Levi Taylor
this lmao. It's always funny seeing body builders try some physical activity and hurt themselves like they are made of dry wood. Lifting really fucks you up and makes you useless for everything except standing in front of a mirror
Michael King
kek what does that say about op if he gets hurt on something even lesbians and frail vegans can do
Rest up, do light cardio and gentle stretching. You will get injuries without the right technique. It takes time to build up tendons and ligaments. Do oppositional muscle training to help prevent injury. Talk to the instructors to see what you can improve on.
Nolan Gutierrez
My local gym is very cool with a nice bunch of people. There are a few lesbians, but that seems to be because of the cute lesbian that works on the desk there. She always seems to have smoking hot girlfriends for a couple of months and then they are gone to be replaced with another one just as hot. There is one basedboy, but he is pretty chilled out and relaxed about things. It's mostly filled with French, Czech and Slovenian guys who are fucking nuts and a great laugh. I mostly stay away from the large bouldering places as they are far too busy and filled with white guys with dreadlocks and girls with the hippy look. They do tend to have really good coffee at those places, though.
Justin Sanchez
Do you climb at The Circuit NE in Portland?
William Miller
You can't hold yourself up on one foot? Are you defective?
Anthony Wilson
Not OP but I climbed there occasionally over the summer. Great place, besides all the kids running around. Now I’m back at the OSU wall and wanting to die.
Luke Ortiz
No, Austin bouldering project, from what I understand it’s slightly less homosexual than Portland.
Robert Lee
Honestly you guys might take the cake these days, seeing how badly you want it.
Landon Garcia
Those are fun to watch, Magnus is pretty based.
Would probably be smart to add some mobility work, no?
