Hangboard #3

Nothing in between workouts. Job's blossoming its true black-hole-colored, soul-vacuuming nature, and there hasn't been a minute to squeeze in any extra workouts. But by the mercy of the Lord, i have gotten the hangborading in. And it's again pretty encouraging. Weighed in fully clothed at 199.0 (a lb down from Thurs).

Warmup Jug: -15:  Peachy. Could go up here, but i had several increases this time round, and i figured i'd be feeling it by the end.

Large Open Hand:
1:  -15:  Little burn, but not bad. (This was a 5# bump).
2:  -5:  Still not hard. Could increase again. :)

F3,4 Pocket:
1:  -45:  Very solid, no fail. (Another 5# increase).
2:  -35:  Not hard. Increase again. :)

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -20:  This was a 7.5# bump from last time, and was harder. No fail.
2:  -10:  5# bump from last time. Hard here, but no fail. Could increase a skosh here, but it'll feel way harder if i bump the grips before it.

F2,3,4 Pocket:
1:  -12.5:  2.5# increase here, and definitely harder. Better untaped.
2:  -2.5:  Very hard. Failed last two reps.

Wide Pinch:
1:  -55:  Untaped. Very hard. Failed last two reps.
2:  -45:  Hardhard. Failed at the end of last 3 reps. I like these.

Sloper:
1:  -5:  Failed at the end of the last 2 reps.
2:  -pin:  Ver hard, but no fail. Can't explain that. But that's a victory after bumping the amperage on four grips before it.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -85:  Very hard, but no fail.
2:  -75:  Failed at the end of the last rep. These felt harder than the last workout. Think it was colder today.

Overall a very pleasing workout. Still making fairly big gains. That's week 1 of a four week period, so i'm looking at cementing some pretty nice gains. And i've gotta find time to run. Striking how much difference 2.5# can make on a hold, and i could drop several of those.
