top rope in the gunks

I was chatting with a friend at the gym earlier. Getting old certainly causes longer recovery times. He’s rehabbing a messed up tendon in his elbow, and I’m working on a pulley tendon. At least I can still climb.

I usually take a strict month and a half off after a tendon injury

case studies show that recovery time is faster and you come back stronger faster... vs someone that tries to climb with an injured tendon

Yeah, I saw that documented case study.
I am doing my own independent study by climbing on Jugs and not using the finger on holds that the finger would otherwise be used to pull hard on...grabbing Jugs with the pads on my hand and haven't had an issue with it feeling tweaked since the injury 20 days ago almost. it is tight after a session. I always wash my hands with cold water for at least a minute after each session.

I tweaked the tendon in early August. I definitely took the time off. I’m back to climbing reasonably hard stuff (hard for a 46 year old chuffer anyway), and am getting the endurance back.

fucking hell

You'll never be hip like I am. The surgeries are fun.

[KIX]

there should be some young teenager smartasses in here like Skav and Jules used to be once upon a time to rip the shit out of all you hobbled sidelined wishful whiners. apparently I am the only one aging well.

[skav]

You're timeless, KIX.

you have both replaced? anterior?

[skav]

Both are still original, right one has been scoped twice and the femur head was reshaped. Left one has basically the same issues but not as far along.

[zirc]

Word, i got my right fully replaced in Dec. Just got the green to fall on it.

[pmahnn]

Y'all need Jesus. He saves.

[hills]

i got SNAP tears in both shoulders but i've figured out how to be careful and work around em. and i gotta keep lifting if i want to keep my elbow tendonitis at bay so thick boi these days. gonna try to go as long as i can before i need shoulder surgery.

my legs and back are strong as ever. kick a newb in the throat, no problem.

I was looking at photos just now from 2002/2003 and found some photos of Pander (and Boulder) bouldering in CenTer and it reminded me of b.com. So I logged in for the first time in years.
Then I saw this post and it reminded me of my 45+ age. Getting old sucks. Hope the healing is speedy Criz.
B.com forever.
