Didn't show up for the fight today. Weighed in at a bit over 204# today, so up a pretty solid 5# from last session (4 days ago), and well into Clydesdale status. Had a late and large breakfast and really felt like an enormous slug. Basically didn't make any meaningful improvements today, iron-wise; but i'm gunna take the silver lining: i'm up five lbs-- depressing by itself, but a pretty nice bump in weight resistance-wise.
Warmup Jug: -15: This kinda shewed where my brain wasn't-- i accidentally did this on the Large Open Hand ledge. Oops. Finished it at any rate, but a poor way to start things off.
Large Open Hand:
1: -10: Harder than last time
2: -Pin: Way harder, but no fail.
F3,4:
1: -35: Hard. Feelin' pretty portly today.
2: -25: Hardish. Could go up here. Ok...
SemiClosed Crimp:
1: -10: Very hard. Failed last second of last rep. Right 2nd finger skin was failing. Afraid i was gunna peel a giant flapper here. Need tape. And this was still a 5# increase from last time.
2: -2.5: Taped R 2nd DIP for this and it helped a bit, pain-wise; but not with friction. Massive fail after rep 3.
F2,3,4:
1: -10: Hard but no fail.
2: BW: Failed in the last second last rep. Better! :)
Wide Pinch:
1: -55: Failed at the end of the last 3 reps.
2: -45: Better without the F2 taping. Failed on the last 3 reps.
Sloper:
1: -5: Failed on the last rep.
2: +5 with pin: Hard, but failed last sec of last rep.
Narrow Pinch:
1: -82.5: Failed last 2 reps.
2: -72.5: Failed last 2 reps-- total fail on the last rep.
Several pearls to be gleaned from this workout. Several mistakes. One, just came to it without focus. No pain tolerance and no fight. I think this was partly from being a li'l sleep deprived and partly from going in full and fat.
Two, i should definitely have not climbed on Mon and Tues. For some reason i thought i could get by with some "light" projecting at the gym, and that was a sad (and exhausting) mistake. Didn't stick to the plan.
Three (and this hails back to the last item) my skin was mulched, and when it comes down to taping and wrecking my friction and possibly opening a flapper and screwing up the rest of my workouts, i'll take a bad workout. But i don't think that'd have been necessary if i hadn't snuck some climbing seshes in there.
Four, interestingly it didn't take much of a rise in temps to really affect my sticking power. The temp rose noticeably during the workout, and it showed.
Lastly (and firstly, really), i'm fat. A fiveish pound gain in lard made a very large difference. This reiterates for me what i might be able to hang from if i could shed 20 or so lbs. Gunna hafta dig for some consistent discipline. And i may hafta start running again.
