bouldering on a wednesday

1815 hours
arrived late at the gym. i am late again argh! the gym is friggin' packed..i noticed that several people cut their hair too; namely alvin, mogilan and chin seng (not sure about his name..the dino who majored in material science one but i am sure now thanks to coach!). but the gym is packed..how to train siahs. did stretching especially with the fingers as i am expecting tutor kiat to bomb my fingers again. from experience, not stretching each fingers individually leads to fingers having a hard time to perform specific finger exercises like holding crimpy tiles with two fingers on top and the others pinching the side of the tile.

1910 hours
began warm-up boulder: going around the gym. friggin' packed. i took 4 minutes to figure out where to start as i do not want to disturb other people who were doing their rounds too. needless to say, i kena "kau peh-ed" as i eventually obtruct people doing their rounds. did a modified version of going around the gym with kiat's suggestions. meaning to use shittier tiles and lo and behold! flash pump sets in. suang ma..

1945 hours
bouldered bouldered bouldered. did exercises which focuses on lock offs, sloper strength and most importantly, my control in bouldering. many many people said i lack control in bouldering which is true. had great difficulties in providing the x-factor in control. until now i still do not know how to control my movements. although a conscious effect has been placed in my mind to control movements, i still find at times that i still throw myself when i do f***tub moves. my control only comes when i climb as i am afraid of grazing something important if i happen to fall badly during a lead climb.

2030 hours
my batch were fooling around. laughing hee hee haa haa as the seniors were eating outside. wanted to hee hee haa haa too but no voice. tried doing boulder problems on the secret manual by assad but i still fall badly. pissed off as i am still weak. perhaps it may be due to me not resting enough before training. but pissed la. cant grip things. cant even execute movements. tsah!!! "form over performance" rang in my mind again. shall not pia till i get injured.

2130 hours
did finger strength stuff that kiat commisioned me to do. shacked. while doing, i heard a familiar "yes! the whole gym is ours!"

2230 hours
chiong-ed the last shuttle bus back to pgp.

yes! i finally wrote an entry that is purely related to climbing! woohoo!
