End of Periodization (2)

How time flies. Its been a while since i last updated this blog. Just ended my 2nd cycle last week. All in all i am pretty satisfied with my results as i accomplished most of my goals for this cycle. I also want to take this opportunity to share with everyone a few things that i have learnt this cycle. Hopefully my pointers will help your climbing as well.

1) Try your best to straighten and relax your arms when you are clipping. Climb higher if necessary.

2) In the situation when the handholds suck but you are stepping on a good foothold, it might make sense to sit in instead of centering your CG evenly between your arms

3) Listen to your body. Know when to stop climbing. Sometimes your mind might want to do more, but spare a thought for your body (only applies to climbers aged 29 and above).

So there you have it! Feel free to comment on my points above.
