Billy & PhysioFlex
Hey Billy, ever wondered how a solid pre-warm up can save you from those rogue shin splints that pop up after a spontaneous climbing spree?
Absolutely! A good warm‑up gets the blood flowing, loosens the muscles and primes your shins for the climb. I always do a quick jog, dynamic leg swings, and some calf raises before I head out – keeps those splints at bay and lets me tackle the wall with gusto!
Nice routine, Billy. Just add a quick tibialis anterior stretch—stand with one foot back, lean forward, feel the shin stretch—and pause for a minute after every 30 metres of climbing to let the load reset. Keeps those splints at bay and gives you a clear mental map of the wall. Keep it steady.
Sounds solid, thanks for the tweak! I’ll hit that stretch every climb, keep the rhythm steady, and stay pumped for the next wall!
Sounds like a plan, Billy. Just remember the stretch is your first line of defense—think of it as a puzzle piece that fits right before you tackle the wall. Stay consistent, keep the rhythm, and you’ll climb with less pain and more power. Good luck!
