Hangboard #9

Last hangboard workout for this season. Kind of a wistful, poignant feeling it evokes here: i've really come to dig-- yea, even look forward to these workouts. They work like crazy!

But if it's time to move on, this was a flippin' awesome workout to end on. Weighed in fully dressed at 200.0 tonight.

Warmup Jug:  -15. Same.

Large Open Hand:
1:  BW:  This was a >5# increase. Hard at the end.
2:  +10:  Five lbs up again. No fail. Not bad.

F3,4 Pocket:
1:  -20:  Another 5# increase. Bit hard. No fail.
2:  -10:  Five lbs up. No fail! Hard. :)

[Untaped F4 here]

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -5:  Better. Failed in the last 2 secs of the last rep.
2:  +5:  Better again. Made it through rep 4. Progressive failure last 2 reps.

F2,3,4:
1:  BW:  Hard, but no fail. :)
2:  +10:  Failed at the final beep. Way better!

[Untaped F5 here]

Wide Pinch:
1:  -55:  No fail! :))
2:  -45:  Made it through rep 4. Failed on reps 5 & 6. Mo' betta!

Sloper:
1:  -2.5:  Failed on the last rep. Better.
2:  +10:  Failed last 2 seconds of last rep. Much better. :)

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -82.5:  No fail! Woot!
2:  -72.5:  Hardhardhard; but no fail, sucka!  :))

So i didn't increase weights really on the last 6 grips. But i definitely improved on pretty much everything. That's way encouraging. I do think the cold night helped a bit, but i also just felt more motivated and better than last time.

So far a good season. The campus rungs're installed and ready to go, and a happy package from E-Grips should be en route soon for Power Time. Reeeeealy psyched about this next bit.
