Climbing... On form... losing dynamic movement
For some reason... i can't post more than a certain amount or it wouldn't appear in my blog or others won't appear... So i'll post only this first...
Sorry for any inconvenience...
Haiz... feeling really tired eventhough it's 12:26 in the afternoon right now... my eyes feels like they're tearing apart...
I'm i school right now... had the feeling to blog since the last couple of days... but i just don't seem to have the chance... So now, i'm sacrificing my lunch time to blog... when i can actually use the time to catch up on my sleep at the rock gym... lolx!!
Okay... i just feel like talking about how my climbing is right now...
Well... i'll begin with my climbing session at ite dover on last friday... I was on form!! believe it or not...
The routes that were set and which i saw or asked for were all finished... lolx... For some reason i was on form on that day...
But... the style of climbing i had on that day just was unexpected... It was like static... not dynamic...
I admit that i prefer to lock and move to the next tile rather that doing a dynamic move to next tile... But it was totally different on that day...
What's more... my feet were always stepping on the footholds... As though they had super glue on them...
On occasions when the rest of the climbers had their legs flying off the footholds when they attempt to go for the next handhold, mine would stick to the foothold... That's strange...
Hazli, the climber who once became Asia's top youth climber, talked to me and said to keep on training... for Rockmaster... just like him... well... most of us are... including me... And then he said not to let him catch up on me...
Ikhsan, who was in front of the two of us said that to me too... Since he hadn't climbed for two weeks since Climb On! Singapore... and his standard had dropped...
I was like -.-""" lolx... Seriously... It's because... eventhough i'm on my top form... I always have this mindset that the climbers i'm climbing with are all of a higher standard than me... Though sometimes i don't want to believe that...
So when the other climbers finish the routes and i don't... I kinda tell myself that i'm of a lower standard than them... After all... Those competing in the Open Category and climbing at ite dover with the least amount of experience is me... haha...
Okay...back to Hazli... i then told him that the only reason why i'm performing so well on that friday was because i was on form... I've never climbed like that before on previous training days unless if i was on form...
But then he said that this was all mental... It's in the mind... If i think that way, then i'll be that way...
He did get my hopes up... After all... If he says that it's possible for me to maintain my perfomance for future trainings and competitions... I will be at my peak!!
But... lolx... i wasn't that sure if it was possible... After all... My form never lasted after i took a days break...
The only time when i was on form more than a day was when i climbed 1 week straight... And that was like... when i've only climbed for a few months...
Anyway... i felt that i should test it out... on Monday... which was yesterday...
On Sunday, i finally managed to get into maja vidmar's website... there ahs to be a \en\ at the end of the link that carene sent me... hehe...
So i finally managed to get in... And i was watching her videos, climbing in the World Cup... And i realized on thing...
She was really smooth... Her body was totally controlled... She's a really static climber... Even her legs were controlled to the point where it seems like she's not tired at all...
When placing her feet, she controlled it to the the very end where it was finally placed firmly on the foothold...
That's when i felt i want to try climbing like her... Even when she was pumped... her hands were "chicken-wing"... she still climbed with static style... controlling every muscle needed for the execution...
So i thought... i should try climbing like her on Monday...
So... Monday came... and i was actually looking forward to train on my endurance on that day... I thought i should try Maja's style while doing power endurance...
But gary had asked me for help to remove the volume on the SPRC rock climbing wall... And we arrived late at ite dover...
This was the second time he made me arrive late for training at ite dover!!!
But... i guess... i had to help him... if i didn't... i ain't too sure who would... eventhough there are a lot of people climbing at the rock gym...
Oh well... during my climb at ite dover... during the start... i felt like i still have some form in me... And i was able to finish the routes that were given in the beginning...
But suddenly... the problem came... or the realization of my loss came...
Gary gave this route... it looked do-able... The moves... i was able to do... I was confident in finishing it...
But when i later tried... and got to the point of when i had to do the dynamic move... Trouble struck...
Okay... the first time i tried it out... i may have planned to the the move in static style... Eventhough the rest were doin the move dynamically...
But heck... i just wanted to try things out ayite...
Okay so anyway... i tried the static way... and realize that it was too far... So the only way for me is to do it dynamically...
Now... my dynamic was never a problem... I always had it tuned... I could always do dynamic moves...
Until now...
So i tried again... and with my mind set on doing the dynamic move... i executed it... But for some reason... my feet didn't want to let go of the foothold...
That's when i realize of the problem... I've lost the feeling... the movement... of how to do a dynamic move... When in the first place... dynamic moves was what i was best at... after locking/ static moves anyway...
So now... this is the problem that i have to solve before i get too stuck...
I still have not been able to solve it...
I think that it's because i did climbed too static on Friday and the beginning part of Monday that i lost it...
Haiz...
I guess... All i can do now is to wait for Wednesday... So that i can try to get back my dynamic power back...
Okay... it's 1:14 now... guess i better end this one here...
Till next time...
