So would more cardio be okay or would it be pushing it? I play basketball on certain days and the your schedule only aligns with those certain days a few times. Or maybe I could stretch out the schedule and make it line up and take full rest days in-between to make it work?<br /><br />thankskybernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-49387560530460493712012-09-30T08:58:29.175-06:002012-09-30T08:58:29.175-06:00Awesome thanks for responding so quickly steve. Go...Awesome thanks for responding so quickly steve. Good advice too. i was a little apprehensive on doing the lock offs with the smaller holds on my moon board, so i guess I'll listen to my body and work up to it. So I take it the lock off hangs for each degree (ie full, 90,45)is a lock off position for 10 seconds shake off 5 seconds then proceed to the next degree? Your routine and diet has been working well already! Huge gains with finger strength which I never knew I lack so much in and I already lost 8lbs in the first 2 weeks. Thanks for the post agian!<br /><br />CathroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-90117082296258706102012-09-30T08:40:51.084-06:002012-09-30T08:40:51.084-06:00The lock-offs are hard, which is why you drop from...The lock-offs are hard, which is why you drop from 12 to 6 exercises in the first workout. You will almost certainly have to use easier holds during the locked off sets. For example, during my first lock-off workout I'll do what would be my six easiest grips (the last six of the workout I did prior), and then add harder holds each time, finishing with those six.<br /><br />There are examples of all the positions above (though you're two arm hanging). If the full locks are too much try and second two (90,45) and a regular hang (though try to always keeps your arms slightly bent so the force is on your musculature and not your connective tissues).

Could you please elaborate. Thanks for your time.<br /><br />CathroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-13332763344517017562012-09-13T10:24:19.861-06:002012-09-13T10:24:19.861-06:00Stevie Haston is rad.Stevie Haston is rad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-44160600879617362192012-09-08T12:32:43.079-06:002012-09-08T12:32:43.079-06:00Sorry I thought my first comment got eaten when I ...Sorry I thought my first comment got eaten when I signed in.

I've got a climbing trip coming up in four weeks, and part of me thinks -- oh this is perfect, since I'm on top rope, I can really focus on trying some new,scary, tiny hold climbs that I'd never have the guts for on lead-- but when I go just do a dead hang, thinking every time it will be different, it freaks me out. I am short and short waisted, so I get diastis recti with each baby, and when I'm hanging, any kind of movement makes my core obviously engage and then the splitting muscles conform around the hard ball sticking out of my belly. It feels so very strange and sort of wrong. And without guidance, so very strange and sort of wrong is a bad thing. But two babies back, I was afraid to climb while pregnant at all because, you guessed it, it felt sort of strange...<br /><br />Anyways. I love reading your blog and I realize this isn't exactly on topic, I'm just a little frustrated overall with the entire fitness world and pregnancy. Its like, because everyone is scared to be wrong, they just tell mothers to not do anything out of the odinary. But It's quite scary to be all on your own deciphering how to balance growing another human being with your desire to keep fit and active in your normal life. Your doctor says "what you do normally" and then calls their lawyer when you say "rock climb".

Because I'm back on full body harness top-rope, its the perfect time for me to work on hanging onto to tiny holds I typically don't have the guts to do on lead, since all the pressure is off. I'd love to keep up hang board work, but every time I do anything remotely similar, it of course, engages the muscles in my core....but now those muscles are splitting open (short, I get that Diastes recti thing every baby) and what ends up happening is the muscles conform around the hard utuerus and...well...it just feels really really weird. And without guidance, I'm assuming really weird is probably not good. <br />This didn't really have anything to do with your post, but I've got a big climbing trip coming up in...four weeks, lol...and I want so badly to do this, and yet, it's very scary to try and figure this stuff out on your own. So I guess I'll just be happy to be getting out.<br /><br />Anyways. I enjoy reading your blog!
