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.

I don't know what Schwarzenegger was saying.
That was more than a little bit revealing.
Re: getting habituated to the aerobic effort, I just followed what Lisa said,
"I like the feeling of the work in my body".
So now I'm over it and I just power on.
Sorry Peter; that's all I am holdin'
I'll now put down my spade.

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.

But Yabo, conversely said:
"5.11 on hexes was often a life or death proposition"
That's what happens when you get pumped and the gear is not so good...

Of course it is semantics.
But whatever it is, it's about being creatively engaged.
Like Keith Richards says, when he plays guitar, he "wakes up"...

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.

God, was I blessed to discover ST and the tribe! Tarbuster and Peter what a wealth of information jewels in a varitey of cuts and facets you have posted here. So over the top Wow! are you guys and others that have such wealth and "send" of the English language.
Hilarity, wisdom and beauty of the word....I will never be able to do your posts justice here....so I'm giving a shout out for anyone that feels up to responding to this Big Wall of word "send". (Roger Breedlove, yo out there? You understand the lingo) Russ, yo around. Give us your bare basic commets on the pump, the polys and the fashion rococo. Anyone ?
It's especially sweet that I now have wonderful words of discovery to dwell on this week as I work out and can draw on the power and wisdom of them. Cheers, Lynne

Chris, your words.... beautiful and inspiring, simplistic with crystalline clarity. Nice.
Edit: The endorphins, their feeling and use in our lives along with the pump seem to be an intricate, important piece of a healthy life. Each individual is unique and the play of life force different for each of us. We learn about this power from each other. I'm learning much and Laughing A lot. Thanks, lynne

Forget about the physiological stuff.
It's all in the M.I.N.D.
Don't pump me for any further details about the photo below.
All I'll allow is that it's from DD's "YosemiteClimber, BackFiles: The FlipSide"
Word on the street IS....
accessorize, accessorize, accessorize
Endorphins, Pheromones, Alpha Brainwaves .... NADA
ATTITUDE baby.

Tarbuster, please don't let me die until I know whose in the short skirt and the cute wooly grey sucks...I mean socks. A plea from rocococcoco...starting new trend in sock decor.
We'd do better if RB was also giving a running style presentation. After all, he invented the plastic form fitting shirt and pants if memory serves right.

if you have a total mental breakdown because you have to miss a training session, then you know you are too strung out on your program.
you are in danger of becoming a pro jock.
i was a caddy for the dali lama once.

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.

Shite, do you fully realize tar-man and ze Dr. what yo posts do to us and how seriously rolling on the floor could inflict injury as we die laughing. There must be insurance implications.....meanwhile I'm copying the outfits for my next band gig. :D
Edit: A merry heart does yo good like medicine. Wurd !
Double Edit: When I went from puberty to being a woman No One Ever explained the importance of the purse size. What up with the team that raised me to be a princessa ?
