TimeToTrain #2 - FLASHH: Let's Boulder!

in sports •  8 years ago  (edited)


Hey Steemies!

Since I'm doing a lot of Parkour & Fitness stuff and I started to progress further and further with my weights my forearms always started to fatigue early in my e.g. back workouts!

A friend of mine [ @behfar ] inspired me to try to boulder in order to increase my grip strength and my generell core and back stability - that's what I've done now!

So the biggest spot to boulder in Hamburg is "FLASHH - boulder spot" - relatively new company that settled here!

Here are some images of the location:


Besides of boulder workshops FLASHH does also offer Yoga courses
Amazing!

Since you are just able to buy a day-ticket the price list is really clearly arranged - you pay less if you train before 16:00 (4 pm), you get a discount on a full membership or multi cards as a student and you get a generell rebate as a child!


The difficulties of the different routes are arranged by colours: white (easiest), yellow, green, blue, red!
I can tell you guys, stepping from one colour to the other is experiencing a completely new world!

I just managed to handle a few green routes until my forearms and my grip strength started to fade entirely, because I started with completing every single white route as well as almost every yellow route (and there are a hell of a lot of them)!

I managed to make some footage of me trying my best! It looks so easy, but is intense as f****! Believe me! My forearms and my back are still sore. Strength, strategy and patience are the keys to success here!
I hope you enjoy!


Did you ever boulder in your life? What is your experience?
Tell us in the comment section!

So in conclusion it was really exhausting but at the same time extremely fun! I will definitely boulder more frequently since you get a lot of benefits of this type of training.
I'd recommend to everybody to try it at least once!

STAY FRESH & DEDICATED

See you soon! #SteemOn

Hi Noogie! I'm a traceur as well :-)
That place looks sick! Would love to try out bouldering in a gym like that.
Since you're doing parkour... there's a lot of stuff to climb in cities, and there's a lot of ways to train parkour. Try to keep an eye out for climbing challenges when you're outside.
I always prefer being outside, except for when the weather is shit :P

Got any videos of you doing parkour? :D
