Yesterday i went to the gym and did a 20 min ARC session, and then bouldered some new routes. Kinda encouraging 'cuz i can tell my hands are stronger. Did manage to keep it reasonably light.
Today was [what i'm calling] HB workout numma 5.
Set 1: Warmup Jug: -10#: Hmmm...easy, but a li'l stale.
Set 2: F 2,3,4 2-pad pocket: -20#: This was a 5# increase from last time. Harder, but still fairly easy. And that's encouraging.
Set 3: Medium Edge (SemiClosed): -25#: Again, a 5# increase. Definitely harder--maybe even hard; but no fail.
Set 4: Medium Pinch: -30#: Left this the same, and it felt easier than last time. Li'l hard at the end, but no fail. Could probably increase here. Huh.
Set 5: F 3,4 2-pad pocket: -40#: Very hard. No fail, but close.
Set 6: Large open-hand Edge: -10#: No increase here. And, again, i took F2 to the inner dimple, and this time from the first rep. This felt very hard. No fail though.
Set 7: Wide Pinch: -45#: Very hard. Failed on the last rep. Still better'n the last workout a smidge.
Set 8: Sloper: -whatever the plate pin weighs: This was a 10# increase--maybe a little hubris here. Very hard. Failed at the end of the last two reps.
Set 9: F 3,4,5 2-pad pocket: -30#: 5# increase. Had to dig deep, but didn't fail.
Very good workout over all-- way better than i had a right to expect. Increased my resistance in 4 of 9 grips.
Weighed in before at 200.2#, clothes, shoes, and a steak sandwich included. EI scale yesterday said i'm at 15.8% body fat. That's down from 17.5%, so i'll take it as a gain.
