Th - woke up with tender Glute max/med. Spent a lot of time...researching Glute strengthening/mobility exercises.
Most stuff on shoulder work is to do with injury prevention but Tim did a fairly good job of persuading me that engaging shoulders better make for more efficient climbing
Session with Tim was again thought provoking and made me look up and think about shoulder engagement when climbing. This article is quite illuminating.

This article is quite illuminating. Whilst I fully agree with erm,sam about shoulder engagement being dead important for catching holds on big moves and not having to reengage etc., I'm about as sceptical as sceptical can be about modifying your resting on the wall to be done with engaged shoulders (as that link advocates). Ollie T was also advocating it when I discussed this with him, so I may be in a minority, but there's no way it's good on the rock (Ollie agreed on that) and I'm always highly sceptical about anything that makes you climb deliberately climb badly... what you do you become and all that.
It was just like at the school disco where the ugliest girl in your class won’t dance with you, so you try the next ugliest, then the third, then you give up and then go and do 3 sets of +40kgs on the small beastmaker holds, some kettlebells and a 5k easy run.
MB is a MF

I have seen tomtom deploy the same technique when out climbing somewhere - I believe we referred to it as the "nightclub 3am" approach to projecting.
