Hangboard #4

Once again i'm a day late; only this time i had a better excuse. I got the matriarchal blessing to climb at the gym on Tues (2 days ago), and i took it. So last night i was a little baked--and i got off work 3.5 hours after i was scheduled to get off, and just honestly didn't feel like hangboarding in the dark in 6 degrees. But really very good, and very encouraging sessions both climbing and hangboarding today; so i feel ok about bumping it back yet another day.

Warmup Jug:  -15:  Same same.

Large Open Hand:
1:  -12.5:  This was a 2.5# increase. Burned at the end.
2:  -2.5:  Again, up 2.5#. Hard, but no fail.

F3,4 Pocket:
1:  -40:  This was a 5# bump. Very hard at the end. no fail.
2:  -30: Again, 5# bump. Very hard, but dug deep and no fail.

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -17.5:  This was a 2.5# increase. Very hard. No fail.
2:  -7.5:  Pretty hard, but no fail. Up 2.5#. :)

F2,3,4 Pocket:
1:  -12.5:  Hard at the end. Kept these the same.
2:  -2.5:  Incredibly, no fail. Very mental. :)

Wide Pinch:
1:  -55:  No fail(ish), which is an improvement. I mighta been dripping off the hold as my timer chimed on the last rep.
2: -45:  Bleh! Failed really on the last 4 reps at least partially. Felt like i couldn't get set properly on the holds. Really didn't feel weak; just felt so cold my fingertips were glassy and i couldn't feel.

Sloper:
1:  -5:  Very hard. Failed last second of last rep.
2:  BW:  :) Not quite sure what made me think i could do this after the set before, but i didn't fail. Guess i should find out what my pin weighs, cuz that's the increase. Hard. Heh heh!

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -82.5:  2.5# up! Whew! No fail :)
2:  -72.5:  Ha!! Massive fail, but last rep only. That's an increase. :))

That's an improvement, or frank weight increase on 6 of 8 grips. That's very satisfying. Very good workout. I'm getting a li'l amped to see if i can make some real climbing gains this season. Was 200.0 lbs fully clothed this morning (without a harness)-- so up a pound from last sesh, and still got some gains. That's real nice.
