Hangboard #8

Somehow i miscalculated here, and i ended up putting this at the 4 day mark, 'stead o' the 3. I guess that's fine, 'cuz i really couldn't have done it last night anyhow. Thought i was gunna snowboard today, but that fell through; so i got in a fairly decent workout of it. And to be fair, i did climb reasonably hard on Tuesday, so it really didn't amount to three off days. Today's was a weird one.

Warmup Jug:  -15. Warmed.

Large Open Hand:
1:  -5:  5# increase here. Still easy.
2:  +5:  Took the pin off last time, so this was more than a 5# increase. Hard at the end, but no fail.

F3,4:
1:  -25:  5# increase here. Not bad.
2:  -15:  5# increase. Hard. No fail. :)

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -5:  Hard. Failed the last half of the last rep.
2:  +5:  Progressive fails on last 3 reps. But good times up 'til then.

F2,3,4:
1:  BW:  Huh. So this was a more than 5# increase. Very hard. Failed on last rep. :)
2:  +10:  Again, 5# increase. Dura dura. Failed last 2 reps (which ain't bad). :))

Wide Pinch:
1:  -55:  Progressive fail last 3 reps.
2:  -45:  Progressive fail last 3 reps.

Sloper:
1:  -2.5:  Progressive fail last 3 reps.
2:  +7.5 with PIN:  Progressive fail last 3 reps. :-/

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -82.5:  No fail! I'll take that as an increase. :)
2:  -72.5:  Failed end of last 2 reps. Sounds the same as last workout. I'll take it.

Overall an excellent workout. Added resistance to 4 of 8 grips and actually finished stronger on the Narrow Pinch. It kinda got messy toward the end, but i really think that's cuz i didn't sandbag at the beginning. Forearms are torched. And i see it translating to my climbing is the cool bit. I'm starting to see the shining path to the bigger numbers. There're still holds i can't fully pull on, but they're getting absurdly small; and i can pull on stuff i couldn't think of seriously before. That's encouraging. My endurance is grey, and my weight is ... ridiculous; but the strength gains are very encouraging.

One more session to go, then power.
