I posted a write-up of my current workout routine in

lifting_heavy_things.

Linking here as it's focused on building strength for climbing and correcting muscular imbalances during the enforced time off while I recover from my Lisfranc injury, so I thought it might be of interest.

Just a quick note to say I wrote up last year's trad escapades on my own DW journal here

BoingBoing on climbing:

NYT Well Blog: What Exercise Science Doesn’t Know About Women

The article has some eye-rolling cliches ('lightly-plucked eyebrows', really?), so for those who'd rather skip it, it mainly boils down to:

Scientists know, of course, that women are not men. But they often rely on male subjects exclusively, particularly in the exercise-science realm, where, numerically, fewer female athletes exist to be studied. But when sports scientists recreate classic men-only experiments with distaff subjects, the women often react quite differently.

and

In the meantime, female athletes should view with skepticism the results from exercise studies that use only male subjects.

Dave MacLeod's excellent blog Online Climbing Coach now has a feed at

davemacleod_feed.

Who's Dave MacLeod? This is Dave MacLeod. He's not only one of the UK's top climbers in multiple forms of climbing, he's got a master's degree in sports science and his blog is full of interesting thoughts about training and technique.

Anyone know of more climbing-related feeds on DW? Or blogs that need to have feeds created?
