Rough Attempt
So the other night I went in to the gym to set some routtes, and felt a little out of my flow. My intention was to set something fun. The issue with the original intent was I didnt really have in mind who I was setting for. I've been off the wall for a little more than a month due to a serious a2 pully injury. Even though I have been training off the wall, it was rather difficult to set what I had in mind. So what do you do when you hit a creative "brick wall" and can't seem to throw anything worth while up on the wall? Stop what ever concept you had in mind. Jump back to the basics of climbing for a little while. Set a V2 or V3, shoot, set a couple of them. That's what I did the other night. I just scrapped it and got my head back into the basics. If you haven't been setting, or climbing and are finding yourself in between a rock and a hard place just slow your roll. You'd be surprised at how quickly your muscle memory will kick in. Refreshing those basic movements accompanied by proper posture will help remind you of what feels natural. It might even help with the frustration you're having looking for that hand foot match on the start hold. As much as we want to set crazy problems and have fun, we need to set problems that are also benificial for proper training purposes. Off to find some cool movements. Go climb something awesome friends. Graydon
