Test your strength. Know your capabilities. Find cracks and fissures in your foundation. Look for flaws, weaknesses, breaches of structural integrity, areas of compromise, limits, boundaries, borders, constraints, and reservations. Find a blowtorch. Go to work. Take yourself for a test drive until if feels right. Then drive it like you stole it.50# d-bell on arm power snatch x 30 left arm

Container climbing, huh? Careful now, those stacks are more than 3 high.
ReplyDeleteWhether it's one or ten high the technique is still the same. Only the consequences of failure are different. The fitness required is relatively easy to acquire but the mentality required is a different story. Climbing higher is like diving deeper you feel the pressure increase but not from the atmospheres of water; rather, from the uneasy feeling that falling would provide just enough time watch your entire life flash like a brilliant light whose brightness leaves you blind and incapacitated.
ReplyDeleteThree high was a VBSS reference. At a certain point, the consequences of failure are the same, the "flash" is just a little longer. "Turbo on belay!"
ReplyDeleteYep, I miss those days sometimes. Falling asleep as a dead roll player and having the student wake me up. It was too much crossfit.
