i experienced the worst of it during yesterday's training. an over-zealous warmup can actually lead to this climber's enemy. so people, warmup is warmup, not burnup. don't have to warmup till you're all hot and bothered, then jump onto the wall. you'll just end up falling like flies. like me.
and come to think of it, from yesterday's session, the conditioning and physical training has helped a lot in my bouldering. i feel stronger, and doing crimps more open-handed-ly. maybe it's the 2-week abstinence from bad crimps which led to the finger joints being less painful. so i cannot emphasise more, all you people out there with existing injuries, don't whack like a madman. control your urges. we rest so that we can travel a longer distance (direct translation from "xiu1 xi2 shi4 wei4 le4 zhou3 gen4 chang2 de4 lu1").
more routes more routes.
less injuries less injuries.
anyway apart from training more endurance and power-endurance, what other ways are there to reduce chances of flash-pump (apart from a good warmup)?
