If you go up and down quickly on your legs doing semi-squats whilst flapping your arms up and down - let loose it looks ridiculous - then after 20 secs of this I bet you can touch your toes. It confuses the back into not tightening up.

I am "recruiting" my previous "hypertrophy", though Shark tells me this is very passé these days

Thanks.I was actually largely joking, and am operating at a level where fine distinctions probably make no difference anyway.But since you ask: current goal is onsighting sport routes in Arco at Easter. I spent November & December emphasising ARC / aerocap / volume. Am now spending January & February mostly bouldering, and in March plan to do a few weeks power endurance stuff - 4x4s, indoor redpointing etc. ... then go to Arco and crush.The "what?!" was regarding the fact that I thought somewhere in February I ought to shift my bouldering emphasis from "problems I can do" to "problems I can't do" - "threshold" in SCC terminology. To some degree it's happening of its own accord anyway, as I run out of easy pickings on the target circuits I have set myself at local walls.
Anyone got tips on climbing very sharp routes without bleeding everywhere?I hate having rubbish skin....
