As of lately....I'm too fat. Hungover and "this thing is stupid" are a close second

"High gravity day" = I'm probably hungover
"Sandbagged" = I'm too weak
"the pro doesn't look good enough" = I'm terrified

Dude, it's a "high gravity day" so I'm going to take it easy.

Eli,

Sorry my friend, I'm stealing that!

I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my muscles. Most specifically, my trapezius. Yes, you can ask my doctor.

1 - I come off couch
2 - I mention casual some injury that I still recover from
3 - I have not been climbing on the climbing rocks enough
4 - I have not complete a good 4-plan to build base for this grade of hard flash
5 - I climb yesterday and no fully recover
6 - I feel sick, must have the poison of food
7 - I drink too much the night before
8 - If I can't make it an excellent flash on first try, route not worth it to me
9 - I could have made that move but the climbing rocks are too sharp
10 - conditions would not be correct for the enjoyable flash
11- I would not to have warmed up properly on enough easy route of climbing rocks

"I'm not feeling it today" and "I'm hungover as balls" are my go-to's

Not to get all serious about this, but is there a difference between excuses and reasons? Seems to me a lot of the things mentioned here can definitely be reasons (in a pure cause-and-effect sense), even if they're commonly used as excuses.

If your partner says you're too fat, it's a reason. If you're saying you're too fat/weak, it's an excuse.

You are making this a lot less fun!

That is another excuse I use too. Yes I talk to inanimate objects as if they care.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
