The pump is everything. It varies with the person but the result is the same. The endorphins get flowing and release the nectar of the gods. Suddenly you're really breathing, you're oiled and feeling better than Jilly getting unstuck from the OW crack. (Sorry Jillian...only metaphor that came to mind.)
Where are you at today, or in your goals for the summer and your long term dreams ? Goals don't have to be physical... people that write words, music, scientific data, create art and the myriad of joy we have to develope in ourselves and give to others ....well this needs the pump too. Lose the tv, crawl off the couch, put down the phone and get out from behind the computer and pump. Cheers, lynne

Quoting arnold Schwartzenegger? 1977 movie "pumping Iron"
"The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is... The Pump. Let's say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that's what we call The Pump. You muscles get a really tight feeling, like your skin is going to explode any minute, and it's really tight - it's like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up, and it feels really different. It feels fantastic.It's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I'm getting the feeling of coming at home, I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it's terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven. "

Yep, that stuff is 20 to 50 times stronger than Heroin, and made right in the nerve endings where it can do the max most good.
However, the real true story is a lot bigger and a lot more interesting than that. You're on the right track to bypass calling it Adrenaline addiction. That ain't right. No one would cheerfully repeat a true adrenaline jag, like from nearly getting sideswiped to death on the highway. It's ugly.
But the hormonal cocktail you got brewing is a blend of half a dozen big compounds, each adding its own trademark spin to the high. NORadrenaline. Dopamine. Serotonin. Endorphine, of course. And some psychedelics that get made as byproducts but profoundly change your mood.
You're dead right though, that the thing to do is get off your butt and stir your brain with a little action.
Thanks for the reminder.

Lynne -- Nobody fully realizes. That stuff has never been written down in one place. I'm working on it though. Fascinating.
And why do we forget to get back out there? It's a great question, because it happens so much. I think that the high, powerful as it is, is also fleeting and the memory of it is very hard to hang onto. Endorphin itself has a built-in forgetfulness factor. Part of its value, in evolution, is to mask the pain of running so hard, to help you forget.
Running hills and pumping to exhaustion just flat hurts. When the endorphins start to flow after 20 minutes, it helps keep you at it. Ever notice that sometimes it's nearly too much to get your butt out the door? Then half an hour later you're just surging up the next steep grade, ready to press on over the top and look for more. That's no accident; it's a nice combination of the high and the forgetfulness.

DR...lol, have I ever noticed ? Oh yeah. Lotsa times it's a fight to get out there, like tonight, but then got back and ahhhhh what a sweet, sweet feeling.
But we gotta focus on the question since you understand it and ask the folk. WHY....do we not do the great thing for our bodies and minds and souls and spirit ? Why do we eat chips and dip and watch tv and blow off the great feeling for boredom and worse, lack of focus on fun goals and then slide into laziness or depression ?
Sure there have been many medical tomes written on this, but I want to hear the Taco's take. The brain surge here is awesome plus original. lrl

Lynnie, it's all part of being your basic polymath. Doll. John Stannard's one too, except he is currently all sidetracked and stuff with Paris Hilton. Can you believe that someone of his stature collects her signed posters and photos? He even tried to tell the cabbie to take him there when he landed at De Gaulle International. Can you believe it? He claimed he had reservations! We might have to bring in Tarbaby to fix this mess. You people have got trenches going all over the place but where it counts! Can we say rococo?

Rococo or just full-blown Baroque?
Is it art or artifice.
Aside from the notion of being mentally keen or emotionally piqued:
“I’m like so pumped to ask this chick out”....
The adept works through the crude and recurrent rebuff of The Pump, honing skills and entreating the collusion of elegant movement, dance, an affair whose keynote is the unlocking of a rhythmic puzzle, relaxing the body's crude and coarse response, finally to tame the beast and arrive at the zone of:
NO PUMP.

So I learned that a polymath is definetly not related to a polypeptide. Thus proving I, myself, will never be a polymath.:D It's ok by me. I like the brain I have. (but of course keeping it learning daily)
TB, just beginning to understand what Lisa's been gifted with and enjoying for a good while, "LIKING the feeling of work in the body."
No pump ? or a controlled Pump ? Probably our discussion is just semantics.....I need some pump to do the hardest physical challenges whether competion, rock, water whatever. If I lose all of the pump I feel a little dead against what I am up against. Make any sense ?

Okay let's make mud pies until Peter steps back in....
What you just said Lynne, sounds more like "Psyche"
"Dude, like I am so totally psyched to get back on that pony"
But getting pumped, like on a sport climb.
Maxing out your muscles until they are turgid and your will is flaccid.
Never mind all of that yummy head rush stuff.
Yabo used to talk about the "realm of no pump".
Just being really tuned in and on game, almost transcendant.
Or Bachar spoke of equalizing the strain between points of contact, to minimize surely over working one part of the body.
Or my favorite, from Mark Chapman:
"When we did those early 5.11's on hexes for protection, if you got pumped, you were screwed, so it was best to run it out, stay cool and make it to the belay nice and cool"
I know what he means.
That's how it's done.

Of course it is semantics.

Sorry to leave you characters flapping like this. I had to take a nap in preparation as this is big game here. It was an hour and I dreamed of newly fledged morning doves gathering on my window sill gently pecking at the cuttlebone wired on the feeder as baby horses neighed in the distance.
So let’s say you’re shopping. In the window of the peerless haut couture Magasin Rococo is a new item you had not seen before. But new items are the hoped-for, aren’t they, whilst one is on the hoof--- in pumps of course. There it is, a swarovsky-bedazzled Purson---unisex you see--- with every feature coveted by top level climbers everywhere.
This is Tarbaby’s debut on Rodeo Drive, to hell with subbing to Balenciaga any more, he hectors. And next to it---a tawdry knockoff by Marciano, but surprisingly with gear loops and anchor sling:
How far back does Tarbaby feel he is set at that moment? Tarbaby, true to form, “wakes up” and still goes one deeper---creatively engaged I say---and has lined his Purson so it doubles as a mini-pig, kevlar and stuff you see. The bottom, polymath woven by the Tarahumara Indians. And uniquely his is entirely translucent just like Yabo was saying about when you are “on game”: translucent. The best Kevlars are clear you see. Purity.
Instead of having to line his Purson (especially for over slabs or bleachers) with ensolite pads, he has something far far trickier up his polypeptide: he can pump the unit’s walls up with the integral Flashpump™ ingeniously borrowed from climbing lore and redesigned (but outsourced from Advanced Homecare) while having the added virtue of gaining in size by five multiples, thus serving as the widest protection and anchor piece ever conceived, capable of developing 8KN in cracks up to 3 feet. So I say, how far back does Tarbaby feel he is vis a vis the Marciano turd? Never one to give up nor cast aspersions on anyone or thing, he steps up to the plate, calls our leader Baroque Obama for the word: it’s endolphins, lots of them. Bring ‘em on. We know flow spelled backwards is “wolf”, so there you have it. Don’t say you heard it here.

And that is Mayfield with the breast augmentation.
I of course, was sporting the handbag: not the most flattering accent to my voluptuous forearms,
But it had to fit a full rack.
From handbag 101:
You should look for a bag that is opposite of your figure. If your tall and thin look for something rounded, if you’re a bit shorter and a little more round look for a squarer or more rectangular bag like a clutch. However, you also want to think about proportions. A very petite woman (or man) should not be carrying round a huge bag and a tiny bag next to a more curved woman will give the illusion that she (or he) is bigger than she really is.

Huge. That’s it. This is just huge. The Tarbaby’s shot above clearly was taken when the USB cables were down for the season. Must have been late autumn or a dry hot winter--- but don’t get me started on That. Excellent for a shot taken by moonlight, I have to admit. Stunning actually. Clearly they are in the act of a Sacred Rite involving secrets that cannot be generally told. Virgins of the Stone undoubtedly.
This is an image never before seen too, possums--- normally The Tarbaby as Matron of the Arts goes for something a bit more dazzling, perhaps one of Metolius’ latest that won’t even store in the overhead. Offsetting those rather unladylike outer appendages. But I suppose, trail of sh*t and all, a Rite is a Rite, and a girl has to put out at some point along that trail and midnight is midnight, just to put a point on it, you see. I think the group was hoping for something quite a bit more diaphanous, though Roy. You know? Less Madge more Miranda. Just saying.

While we pause and give great thanks to Double D for his esteemed research,
I must differ with Mr Haan concerning fabric selection.
Although the diaphanous is highly regarded and nearly ultimately revealing but in a come hither sort of way, bordering on the luminal, suggesting a spiritual clarity as it might: a straightforward pink chiffon suits the exigencies of the wide.
No matter.
Once again we have quested, purported, pondered, and parried, all in hopes of plumbing the depths of these difficult questions.
What makes us do it?
Thanks for tabling the issue Lynne.
In conclusion, I find that it's not the pump, or any other mean estimation of some rude physiologic/psychodynamic cocktail: it's clear to me now that it is all about the pomp.
In the end it doesn't matter whether you win or lose!
It's how you look doing those things we love to do.
And you all look marvelous ... dahlink.
Hope to see you all soon, grooming over stone.

I try like crazy to catch ever single driplet from Tarb, possums, I really do! Madly searching back and forth, endlessly calling and waiting, hoping.... It’s hard being here, in this role, under the ole sink, huddled here with the plumbing and merely my dreams to assuage what may be left of those incandescent memories from time out of mind. Madge the charwoman, you see. That’s who I am now. No clue for fashion, rather a rube clearly. Hoping to catch here in these sore tender but oh so shopworn hands, the epiphany of a man whose wisdom always supercedes mine in such fashion as to blind all those standing in attendance, establishing a Kingdom On Earth. Thine will is my peace, my Lord.
So, forward here. Chiffon, gauzy, light, frisky actually. Diaphanous, too too luminal, in fact as T-B suggests, pilgrims, a clarity all too direct that would send us amiss in our relentless push towards our fundamental and eternal truths in Fashion. A Promise That Shan’t EVER be Answered!! And assuming silk in both cases.
It is always problematic, divining the Real. “Do I have it right” or “Do I have it wrong”? W’HERE is the one t’rue answer, W’HERE does one finally touch down to MAKE IT T’RUE? You see. As I said over there to that primitive, one Johno Stannard, on the scurrilous Oppenheimer Thread, “Fashion though entirely temporal is eternal...It really is rather simple”, it then behooves us to consider how to establish a king point when all we have is flouncy materials in and with which to work and bivy, all things a-flutter.
Here I think that we have something a bit more than a home movie; we get a sense that T-B has no answer.... “Bivy Fabrics”..... I am thinking, wait..... a new horizon. All here are assuming that TB, Mayfield and Fiddler reached the summit that day, but no, possums. No. They BIVIED on P3! I say Nay, I see no Pomp. No procession, no sending (pempein, grk) off or drama, as there they were those three, crinoline foundation and chiffon rosé wilted in the early damp morning air, finally having above them the last and truth-dealing pitch--- The Runway 5.11d R/X. Ever so toilsome but death-dealling as well, tons and tons of backstepping, dizzingly so actually. Striding forth, jaw set firmly, Come-Hither-ish, T-Baby brought it home and saved Western Civilization as we know it today, forming mountains and valleys as he went, reaching the anchors.

Makes perfect sense to me. Where did you find this gem, Tarbuster? I am psyched to begin the endorphin gig again. Da@%&m what a straight life I've led the last few years. Take me back to shiftless fun, not so much thinking as living the moment.
Billy, you became alive, you are alive still in the heavenlies.
We all need to get back to non reality and live it.
When did serious become a word in our vocabulary? It needs to be expunged and replaced with pure joy and the pump....of course.
Thanks for this Holiday gift Mr. Tarbuster!!!

Too funny Hoots: you actually sourced it!
I guess that's what we could call just a tad on the racy side. That probably wouldn't fly these days.
Pump it up!

Great topic Lynne! Great to see DR talking about his amazing research, as well.
Speaking of pump and endorphins:
A couple weeks ago, I sent an 5.11c project in the gorge. It took me 4 tries on top-rope over 3 different days before I was ready.
It is 70 feet long and slightly overhanging the whole way with almost all 5.10 & 5.11 climbing - and just enough bad rests to slow the breathing, but the pump clock was still ticking. The crux is at the top, of course.
When I got to the top after the first ascent, I was so pumped I could barely clip the anchors. When the pump receded, I was euphoric through the next day. Everything just seemed so right in the world - the feeling was incredible.

Aeriq, that's how I felt after doing my first (and last) highball. :) Of course yours was much more, on many more levels. Cheers and a large high five to you my friend!
