Mulligan (Wk 6ish)

After taking just over a week between my first two hangboard workouts, i'm calling a redo. I've gotten off track and schedule, but i'm gunna go ahead and not care. I was planning to post up about how lazy and low i've sunk in order to inspire me to get back to work; but instead i dragged me out to the barn and worked out.

Got my new hangboard up, and worked out on it tonight. Really good workout, and i'm actually psyched to hit it even harder. Got a timer for my phone that doesn't suck, and i tweaked the pulleys, and that went a long way toward alleviating the irritation factor. Also, i actually wrote on my workout during the rests, which is something i haven't done in years, and it kinda rocked. I'm gunna do that every time, methinks. That's really the reason i set up this blog and the other.

Right then-- the workout:

Set 1: warm up jug: -10#: Just fine

Set 2: F2,3,4 2-pad pocket: -35#: Didn't feel too hard. Coulda gone a li'l heavier.

Set 3: Medium edge (semi-closed): -30#: This was hard, but i got 'em all.

Set 4: Medium pinch: -25#: Very hard. Failed on the last 2 sets.

Set 5: F3,4 2-pad pocket: -35#: Massive fail. Need to take off more weight. Also i think my tape was slipping off.

Set 6: Large open hand edge: -10#: No fail, but hard at the end.

Set 7: Wide pinch: -30# for r1-3, then -35#: Massive fail. Take off 40# next time.

Set 8: Sloper: -15#: Hard. Failed on last rep.

Set 9: F3,4,5 2-pad pocket: -40#: No fail, but hard. Pinkies hurt. Needed tape.

Of note, i didn't count the weight of my hanging pin for the weights. Probably weighs another 5ish #. Going to take a few more sessions to get my weights dialed, but this was a happy workout.
