Cool gym.

At my gym people ask for tips about watching sports for free online.

Uuuuuughhhhhhhhh

I always hated that. I grew up with a big hazelnut bush/tree next to our house, where it was usually more useful to pull yourself up than to try to find good footing.

And then I think, I've been climbing my whole life, I'll visit a climbing gym, and then they're like, oh no, not that kind of climbing. That would be using muscles, which is famously unpopular in gyms.

Stand for 10 minutes.

Now dead hang for 1 min.

Surprise, your legs muscles are much bigger and much more powerful than your arms at defying gravity.

I think the disconnect is, some go to the climbing gym to climb, others go to work out.

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, in my particular case, I wouldn't go for the workout. I just find the rock-type climbing frustrating and relatively boring, while I find the tree-type climbing fun. So, even if I can only manage 1 minute of tree-type climbing at a time, that would be a sport, I'd actually enjoy doing.

Ever been to one of those ninja gyms?

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Never heard of those before, I don't think. Although, a colleague recently shared pictures of a gym around here, which looks somewhat similar. Yeah, I might have to check out, if they have a more varied climbing offering.

"I always hated that. I grew up doing this task and when I tried to do a similar but not the same task with people who know what they're doing they told me I was doing it wrong."

Bro, if you're gonna mock me, you shouldn't assume that I actually visited a gym. Obviously, I did not. I was speaking figuratively.

I've encountered these rock climbing walls on excursions and such, so I know that I hate them, and I know that climbing gyms are full of them.

All I'm saying is that if they had tree-like climbing opportunities or at least rock-climbing walls with rocks you can actually grip, then that could get me to actually visit a gym.
I'm just disappointed that climbing is the only sport I really enjoy and even the fucking climbing gym still isn't for me.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My dude, you should definitely go visit a climbing gym because you've got no idea what you're talking about if you think they don't have problems with grips you can hold onto.

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Alright, my guy, thanks for the advice. I don't know why we're being so aggressive to each other. I don't think, there's that many climbing gyms around here and what I've seen of the one we do have, it looked like grips are exclusively for children, but I guess, I should inform myself more.
