"That diagram or whatever"
Copyright lawyers may gnaw me bloodier than an OW but I should mention that the diagram comes from the Visual Thesaurus. Seemed like a way to find a path through a thicket of words although the concepts do not connect. Yet. Expecting great things from you, eeyonkee. I think you can do it but if you pay me good money I will say you can't, for the motivational effect.

I've had beers with Brokendown. That might cost you a bit.
Tuesday night training session at the spot?

Hey Grug,
remember, the journey of a thousand shuffles starts with the first heel toe

I'm gonna be in Vedauwoo around this time-I hope there is a "grugfest"... It'd be cool to meet some of you.
Eeyonkee, I like how you re-prioritized your list, and I particularly like the fact that number 6 is now in its current position, rather than 2!!! You really have a lot going for you here-I see success in your future! :)

I'm a start training tomorrow...9000 inverted situps, and a steady diet of hate-metal, punk, and polka (suffering through the polka will make 5.hard wide cracks seem like a Tahitian vacation).

No ^^^
One should work on quieting the mind.
Work on breath control.
Slowing down those two will save energy for the strenuous off-width discipline.
Most people try to muscle it (the mind and muscles).
It takes coordination with your whole being not just muscles.
Good breath control is superior .....

I meditated in the cave for a good hour before I did it the first time.

That picture on the cover of Climbing really is an inspiring one, Jaybro(the closeup shuffle picture a little less so). I've continued to try to "optimize" my training. Forget all things related to inversion, Elcapinyoaz, cause I'm not going that way (of course, you can train how the hell you want). As far as moving the beer drinking thing to number 6. it might as well be 86 for all I've been adhering to it. I think I need something eletrical to keep me in line on this one.
I like Werner's advice on this. In fact, working in a little time to hang out with some Shaolin monks for a while probably couldn't hurt my chances.

I've been avoiding looking at this thread... still going to be a while though I probably survived today's PGSF trip... and even got in some OW rigs there...
hand, fist, ok...
wider, just will happen on its own sweet time...
but if there is a date for the Grugfest, write it down here! I'm game on a trip to Wy even if I have to take the position of an Eldo Prancer (and that's not gonna be pretty).

Mighty impressive, Hankster. Me, I'm growing a mustache and haven't any Cap'n Crunch or Count Chocula for breakfast since I began my "harden the f#ck up training". Oh, yes...this will be fun.
