Hangboard #5

Another hangboardy day. Nuthin' but a pretty nice paycheck in the meantime. But this hangboarding thing is working. Do wish i could get more other-muscle workouts in, but there hain't been time. At any rate, the hangboarding's been good so far, and today's workout was another resounding uptick. Of note, it was quite a bit warmer today than last time, and that helped. Colder might be better for sticking holds than warmer, but not so much when you can't feel the holds.

Warmup Jug:  -15:  Actually shifted grips through this, cuz i didn't really do much of a warmup prior. Worked out just fine.

Large Open Hand:
1:  -10:  This was a 2.5# bump. Li'l hard.
2:  -pin:  Hmm. Again, li'l hard, but not too. Increase. :)

F3,4:
1:  -35:  5# increase. Hard at the end. No fail.
2:  -25:  5# up here too. No fail. :)

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -15:  2.5# up here. No fail.
2:  -5:  Again, up 2.5#. Hard on the last rep, but no fail. :)

F2,3,4:
1:  -10:  2.5# increase. OK.
2:  -pin:  Really not bad. Could increase.

Wide Pinch:
1:  -55:  Ok...No fail.
2:  -45:  Better--much better-- than last time. Failed in the last second of the last 2 reps.

Sloper:
1:  -5:  No fail, but fairly hard.
2:  +5:  This was adding the pin with 5# to my harness, so it was more than a 10# jump. Gotta weigh that pin one o' these times. Anyhow: Very hard, and failed at the end of the last two reps. Good stuff.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -82.5:  Didn't fail, but barely. Burn.
2:  -72.5:  Way better! Failed in the last 3 secs of last rep, but not before. Might increase this one.

So once again, great workout. Increased weight on 5 grips, and increased performance on 6 of 8. Not too bad. Over halfway through this piece of the season now. Looking forward to take this to the rocks. :)
