CLIMBING v.3.2
Just got back and discovered something.
I did top 4 tonight. Almost topped two more but my arms just weren't going to let me do it. And that's okay. As Mike reminded me - it's not about how many are topped, but the experience of the climb. :)
Something I'm noticing, though, is that my arms are getting really tired really fast. I'm sore tonight, because I pushed my arms until they literally could not fasten nor remove my harness. Holy moly. I'm discovering that my dominant arm, which is my right, is getting stronger and noticeably more defined than my left. What do I need to do to make sure that my left is going along at the same rate??
(Conversation with Mike - it comes with time. As I progress, the walls will force me to use the other arm, thus helping me to build it equally. However, there are dumbbells in the storage room to use between climbs to help with that as well.)
I have officially lost 3 pounds. Doesn't sound like a lot - but I'm finding that I need new pants. Mine no longer fit correctly. :D
Overall, I'm happy with the night's climbing. I almost topped a 5-7, which is the next step up from what I've been doing thus far - I'm progressing!!! :) I never thought I'd ever be doing this - and damned if I'm not good at it! How fantastic is that? I CAN DO IT AND LOVE IT!!!!
