Thanks Laurence! Welcome to the Taco.
Maybe you can get Stevie on too. You are both quite an inspiration and must have some great stories to share.

Hi Laurence. I personally think it's OK for people to join SuperTopo and make an initial climbing-related post.
I like Stevie's style, thanks for the link!

I'll get a few words from Stevie( he is in Malta at the moment opening some new routes). We had a lot of fun and epics freeing some of the Desert towers...specially for me as a froggie who couldnt climb cracks at the start...use to turn 5.10 into 5.13 but turned out that I really like it and the Desert is my favorite climbing area...

Hi Laurence, I first met Stevie at Crusher and Fran's house back in the Derek days. Then I've crossed paths with you and Stevie at Vail, on the Grand Capucin several years ago, and at the summit telepherique station for the Aiguille de Midi. I even crossed paths with you (sans Stevie) when I was in Chamonix. We were walking down to town after climbing on the Plan, and you were doing what looked to be a grueling run up the same steep trail.
I hope you're both well, and still getting after it.
Cheers!

Hi Brad, yes I remember..it used to be my lunch break when I used to work at the Patagonia store...Hope you are doing well and still climbing great...we are keeping up with old age...I'm a Kundalini yoga teacher now, more layback but very good for climbing. Hope we will make it back to the States&the Desert...
cheers

This stuff is completely brilliant!
Any climber can connect with the insight that Haston has to share. He is very good at getting inside your head and planting that seed for the next step. Haston helps you help yourself to stay psyched.
If you are not reading this stuff you are genuinely missing out...which leaves the rest of us stronger...
Cheers!

Nice link on elbow pain: neutral grip and rowing exercises with dumbbells as a way to get out of irritation.
I'm thinking the Bachar Ladder cooked a lot of us BITD.
Sometimes the body would rotate and I think this was helping to get to neutral. But perhaps altogether too much single arm work with that apparatus?
Roy
PS: Laurence,
Lisa still trains like a fiend. She just got back from running long repeats at 14,000 feet on Mount Evans.
I.e. 3.5 miles from below summit to top, then: 2.5 miles, 1.5 miles, 1 mile, .5 mile
(sorry I can't express that in kilometers, still a Yankee, you know)

Hi Roy,
It's the reverse movement on the Bachar ladder and the campus board and even pull ups that does the most damage to the tendon insertion. The negative phase of all exercise should be undertaken with the most care. Lisa is a total animal isn't she!

Yes, the deadly eccentric contractions (reverse movement) single arm full body weight. If done cautiously, with dumbbells (and in limited number and under the right conditions, as in physio-therapy) ... also pretty good for strength training as well?
As to the Alisha Weber egg-on-spoon-in-mouth while doing pull-ups and single arm push-ups. Wow! Maybe start with a hard-boiled egg ... And that incline/decline (hands 18 inches below feet) single arm push-up looks hard on the low back.
Per the Bill Ramsey (52 yrs old) 5.14b birthday video. If it's the same Bill Ramsey, I remember him coming down from Smith Rocks, BEFORE the sport climbing started happening up there. So the commonality between Bill and Stevie is that they both have most of the original hair on their heads? Hmmm. Training secrets of the fit and famous. Got it. Ha ha.
(Yes, thanks, Lisa is still setting PR's during uphill running races, but now that she's 47, the young things are starting to take the wins from her on stuff like Pikes Peak Ascent (13+ miles, 7000+ vertical feet, 14,000 foot something summit)

More on training, looks like age doesn't stop us.... I've hardly climbed for 2 years, and Kundalini Yoga as kept me as a very good level...so time for me too...to train for climbing with the yoga to...
I'm amazed how yoga has improved my climbing, not just on the flexibility, coordination, core...but mainly on the breathing and being focus and in neutral mind....seems to get rid of blocs like fears....I've found that I save more on my strength....

Salut Laurence!
Thanks for posting all those links. Exactly the type of inspiration I need right now.
We met at the party after Stevie showed the film in Ljubljana. Great memories! - and Tomaž was still there. Maybe you'll remember me - tall, french spoken, oldish. Stevie told me to "be care full". I stick to that.
You are great people!
Santé!

Thought I couldn't do it this morning, shoulder was bad, nothing in the basement, useless. Got up, coffee, put on some music, did 1000 pull ups, with some good stuff.
Finger strength is up,
power is up
endurance is up
Love it!
How do you those pull ups? Reps of what? With how many minutes of rest usually?

Hi, thanks,
Stevie does his 1000 very fast, rep of 40 to 5/10 depending on the size of the holes/edges...
I take a couple of hours...(though I haven't done a 1000 for a while...)
Rest a bit in between sets....not to long....
It's good to start easy with 300 then make sure you rest properly before your next section, resting is a key... and go to 400.....depending on your form, no need to send yourself to hospital or get injured.....
Stretch before and after the session,
most of the time we add press ups to....at the end of the training....
Now I mix a bit of pull ups with dead hangs....it seems to work better for me....Yoga has helped me with my climbing I don't need to be as strong as I used to....it helps me in flexibility, coordination, peaceful mind, and I breath better....I'm amazed how much it has change my climbing, ability to move, and use less strength.
good luck....
Laurence

The yoga I do&teach is Kundalini Yoga, lots of pranayama(breathing) and a good work on your mind....and super good for your core.....Most yoga are very good, I found that one very complete....you don't have to be super flexible to start....it's not just a yoga about postures, it's very physical, mental and spiritual....
You have to make your own experience and find the yoga&teacher which work for you!
I'm working on making a little program for climbers...

Thanks Ed, always great to be inspired! One of our great inspiration is a 72 years old friend, a very keen runner, when we met him his was 56 years old and we thought , waouh we would like to be like him when we will be 56! And now we would to like to be like him when we will be 72!!! (you can check on Stevie'e people page he is called Al Evans!) So I guess they will be more training tips coming the next few years!!! :)
Thanks J and Thanks Russ( that's exactly why you can't post comments, though you can email Stevie via his FB, he will answer...)
