Bouldering and the gym

I'm not really a big fan of strictly cardio.

The problem

I have a lot of energy and a lot of strength, and I like physical exercise, so I started the gym. Luckily, we had a gym in my school, so I started there. Then I met a friend and her brother, and I proposed going to the gym with him outside of school. Eventually he proposed bouldering, and in all fairness, we stopped going to the gym and started bouldering. Now the only gym left is the one in my school. I lost contact with the friend, but her brother and I still climb to this day.

What I did

I kept practicing. I kept training my forearms, whatever I could, and I had a lot of fun with my friend. We kept playing around with the different difficulties.

What came of it

A lot of satisfaction. I finally managed to climb a V7 pretty recently, and I managed to bench press 80 kilograms. I’m very happy with the progression.
