What is Power Club ?
shark:
Listen Up. I'm going to put up a new post each week on Sundays so anyone who wants to join in can log their training and climbing for the previous week. Its something I started on UKC as Fit Club and its run for nearly 3 years :ang:. I want to keep it going here although for climbers only (as opposed to runners etc)
Personally it helped me go from not liking training at all to becoming more than a bit obsessed. Its quite motivating to state your objectives publicly, putting your cock on the block as it were. It also starts discussions on training tips, tactics and strategy and gives an insight into what others do for their training and the volumes and intensity they work to. Over time it can provide a useful record to refer back ie what weight you were this time last year and how many sessions you were doing a week.
There are a lot of lurkers on UKB who potentially have a lot to contribute. Thanks for reading. Share the knowledge and love; be brave and get involved....
ps If you do post please commit to do it habitually each week - not just weeks where you have done something spectacular. That would give a skewed impression. With mutual support Power Club is to keep you going through the lows :wall: as well as celebrate the highs :great:.

Good idea.
I climbed for the first time in two months on Friday. Struggled up 17 problems on a 6A - 6C circuit at The Works and it nearly killed me. I'm still in huge amounts of pain from it but it's the first step back on the ladder after having no time for anything other than work for the last few months and three months off climbing (but crushing in the gym) prior to that due to injuries.
Some sort of commitment to/record of what I'm doing or rather not doing on the road back to being slightly less of a punter than I am now might work quite well.
Or I might just sack it all off, get pissed on continental lager and Cote Du Rhone and never climb harder than 7A again. Who can say? And if you want to make something of it you cunts then I'll tell you, unrealised potential may be a burden but I've left a legacy, A FUCKING LEGACY I TELL YOU and I have been an inspiration to children. Be sure, it's all about the kids. I believe they are our future.
WEEK 1:
Monday - Can't remember / still wasted from Sunday drinking. Nauseous in general.
Tuesday - Jaded. Struggled through - decent deal for some new business, celebrated with booze.
Wednesday - I can smell the weekend. Three bottles of 14% French plonk. Yeah, I feel good.
Thursday - My head, seriously. Is this some sort of fucking joke? Felt much better after vomiting.
Friday - When did 6C become this hard? Fucking cunts the lot of you. It's my ball and I'm taking it home so fuck off.
Saturday - Jesus, that hurts. Best have a drink.
Sunday - OH MY FUCKING GOD! Thought I was in pain yesterday. It was nothing. The tendons in my arms and fingers feel as i they've been removed, used to tow a combine harvester and the replaced. My abs feel like I've been in the ring with Ricky Hatton. Is this what you call good pain? You can fucking keep it.
BRING ON WEEK 2!
;)

Apparently it's popular but if you ask me it's all as dull as ditch water and as meaningful as 8a.nu.
