I have no idea how Long Term this goal isI do for me: that boat sailed long ago.. and my methods are similar ....I recall Shark saying that he can, and he climbs considerably harder than me and therefore (perhaps) has stronger lats etc.@shark: what did you do to achieve this?

QuoteTo gain strength, the body really needs to be pushed into it, especially if you are not that young any more. Can relate to this.

Where does having the worlds largest climbing shoe collection fit in with this.
It is interesting that some people may have a completely different concept of what trying hard is. Sort of reminds me of this TEDtalk; https://www.ted.com/talks/emily_balcetis_why_some_people_find_exercise_harder_than_others#t-668019It always amazes me when I read all the dedicated strength training the people on these fit/powerclubs do and they haven't even climbed 8a sport, especially ones who've been climbing for many years. Surely at that type of level you don't need to be doing anything specific other than trying hard when you're at the wall/out on rock to achieve that.

Do you and Nai deadhang a lot or something? but I only have 5 pairs of shoes at the moment actually because I sell them on when I discover they don't fit, though I appreciate that I've gone through a fair few models over the years (25 odd ) Unfortunately I have Morton's toe and get Morton's neuroma in my feet and I usually have to wear a new model for many weeks before the pain starts, so no chance of wearing them around the house to find out.Dave Macleod won't mind anyway, he places huge emphasis on well-fitting shoes!

I haven't used an alarm clock or the like in years. I will go to bed about 10ish and usually wake up between 5 or 6 regardless whether or not I need to get up. Shirley if I needed 7.5 hours plus I would just keep sleeping.
