Good luck with that one 101. It's too complicated for my dumbass to explain.
Hey jeff.
Hi,
That's all you got 101? I was hoping for something a little more substantial. Is that one a crane ride?

I was 240 this time last year... I just weighed in at 200 last week. Trying to get down to 185 (which should not be hard in this heat). I'll tell ya, that makes the climbing easier no matter what kind of spikes I strap on...

What did I do today?
It's Sunday.
Cleaned three bathrooms, washed the dishes, vacuumed the house, did my laundry, drank coffee, surfed AS, and slept.

I've been getting up and eating a nutri grain bar and or a banana. No lunch most days (been too hot to eat), then a grilled chicken salad or the like. Tocos are good and light. Don't get me wrong, I eat what I want most days for the evening meal, sometimes healthy, sometimes not. If I do eat anything after the evening meal it is light like veggies, fruit or sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are a life saver. I've also cut way down on my beer intake. I might drink 2 beers after work maybe 2 or 3 days a week. Not to say that I don't cut loose every now and then but it has been few and far between in the past couple of months.
I really think it is the heat and the work load that has melted the pounds off of me.

look at all that crap hanging there in the way. lol. and his poor little nuts getting all squeezed up in that garbage saddle. lolol. no wonder he doesn't want any pics of the effort, too painful.
the high tech big money spikes that i got were actually "komets". the hard plastic cracked at the screw in points and the metal cover points fell off. within 2 months of almost everyday use. i think i was just too big for them. i traded that crap in for the t2 spikes and i got the big buck super wraps. light spikes heavy wrap but worth it as i don't have to worry about them falling apart. i ended up spending a little more but am ok with it. well over 270 all suited up.

Something else I did was quit eating white bread. I only eat whole grain anymore and will often have a sandwich for supper.
Coffee... I drink tons of coffee. I drink it all day. It's a natural appetite suppressant.

not the super wraps velcro jammies. the big buck climber pads. 89$ no velcro , they use 2 straps. i'd vouch for them they are very comfortable. i had the super wraps on my aluminum bashlin's and they were nice but i'd say this setup is best for me and i don't see my self getting another combo again for a long ass time. next up is a new saddle......

Whats up Justin.
I am using the Bashlins with the velcro wraps myself. They are about as comfortable as can be expected for any pair of leg irons a climber is going to have to wear. I had gone a long stretch of doing prunes and didn't have to wear my spikes much. That is until this storm trip. Back to doing mostly removals now. The Bashlins work well enough for me. I might buy a new pair of spikes when I get a wild hair but right now a new saddle is next on my agenda as well as far as climbing gear goes.

Yea save that money there donkey a new saddle will prolly be about 3 checks for you ......Oh and by the way a real climber can climb any way with anything ....And you can see his nuts are squashed in that grainy pic , thats only something a true HOMO would find
