Dusty, yet fluffy

Funny...2 1/2 years since my last post on here. Really gets away. In the interim i ruptured a biceps, rehabbed that, and moved 20hrs away. Haven't stopped logging workouts, but left off the side-musing seeing as no one at all cares.

But i feel a need to ruminate again on obliquities which--notwithstanding--failn't to connect.

I've been struck (and i've been struck with such many, many times heretofore) by how my workouts are not meshed nor periodized. That is to say, i find myself again stuck in a rut on most fronts, and my workouts make no sense and don't build on each other--or, for that matter, even complement each other.

For some reason, i've never managed to mesh weightlifting with any other sport in anything like a sensible fashion. I absolutely cannot say why that is. I think that i just loathe lifting light weights--seems pointless, even though it isn't. So when i try to maintain a power program in the irongym while i'm ramping up a triathlon or climbing program i end up damaged. That, or i end up wrecking my more important workouts. Total nonsense, but it's like a mental disorder from within which i can't see the problem. This time 'round i've very nearly ruptured my other distal biceps, and am trying to stave that off now. I'm sure it's very much like why i cannot get my diet dialed to lose weight.

Today i was hangboarding (and had a very fine workout in fact), and there was a 16ish year-old kid also working out. Bouncing between campusing, hanging from wooden pinches on a 270, and finally just endless projecting on bad holds on the 40deg overhung proj wall. Strong dude, for sure. But the guy weighs maybe a buck forty. So i'm considering the weight i'm having to take off for some of my hangs, and thinking Man! I'm stripping weight to get down to this kid's weight. And it once again occurred that if i could find a way to disencumber myself of 20-30 lbs, i'd go from being a decent climber to being a monstrous climber. I realize there's no useful way i could get to 140lbs; but i could go from the 203ish i'm at now to 180 without necessarily even losing any muscle.

But i can't figure out how.

I will explore that on here.
