4 or 5 x 345 normal
2 x 395 (belt for these)
1 x 445 Locked this nicely

Good Mornings:
3 x 12 x 135 (accidentally started 40# heavier than usual. Worked out just fine.)
1 x 12 x 155 Peachy

2 x 6 x +45 (Got 7 on the last set.)

Hangboard #2

Right. So i went to the gym yesterday for reasons that i couldn't explain, and climbed a route. Flashed the route, and it was the only thing i climbed, but i paid for it tonight. I was not as healed as i shoulda been for this. Can't do that again. That's the road to injury. I think it's either hangboarding or any other hand work. Weighed in at 199 fully clothed tonight, which'd be down about 4 lbs from Sunday, and i still saw some losses on a few grips. A good workout still, but minus some important muscle fibers.

Warmup Jug: -15:  easy.

Large Open Hand:
1:  +5:  Painful. No fail.
2:  +15:  Very hard last rep. No fail. :)

F 2,3 pocket:
1:  -20:  Veryveryvery hard last rep. No fail.
2:  -10:  Failed last 3 reps. Bleh.

[untape f4]

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -15: Hard. Failed last rep.
2:  -5:  Hard. Failed last 2 reps.

F 2,3,4:
1:  -5:  Really painful on f2. No fail.
2:  BW:  Total fail last 2 reps. Seriously feeling yesterday on this one.

[untape f5]

Wide Pinch:
1:  -65:  No fail. Not bad--that's an uptick.
2:  -55:  Failed last rep! Another uptick.

Sloper:
1:  -7.5:  Ugh. Failed last 3. Same.
2:  BW:  Did this just to see what'd happen. Failed at the end of the last 2 reps. That's an uptick, and i'll take 'er. :)

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -87.5:  Hard, but no fail. That's a 5# improvement.
2:  -77.5:  No fail! Another 5# better. :))

So definitely not a terrible workout, Would'a liked to have seen me a li'l crisper and stronger on some of the grips, but no early losses there. No more hard climbing through hangboard season. i shall be encouraged.

Neuromuscular Reeducation

Super amped to dig into Season 3 here. Did do a coupl'a weeks of ARCing on the "intermediate" program. Did miss the last 30min round of the last day cuz i got sucked into some add-on with the Anne and a friend. Good trade off.

Today was Hangboard #1. In spite of climbing--seemingly-- a lot for the last several weeks, i seem to have developed some baby-butt skin on my pingers which bedeviled me tonight. Notwithstanding, it was a really very fine session of it. Dropped most of my weights from where i left off, but not appreciably seeing as it's now exactly 3 months since last i hung from a hangboard.

Good grief: think i dragged this last "season" out a smidge long.

Weighed in fully dressed with harness at 204.6 tonight. That's slightly embarrassing, and gleichzeitig slightly encouraging, as i pulled off a reasonably sick workout without being significantly lighter than last time 'round, and having rather a lot of lard available for the dropping over the net few weeks.

Warmup Jug:  -15:  Easy. Not bad.

Large Open Hand:
1:  BW: This is where i left off last time. Hard on the last rep. No fail. :))
2:  +10:  Same. Painful on the last rep, but no fail.

F 3,4 Pocket:
1:  -25:  5# off of the last sesh. Very hard on the last 2 reps, but no fail.
2:  -15:  EEEeee. Hard. No fail.

[Untape F4]

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -15: 10# off last sesh. Hard at last rep; no fail.
2:  -5:  This is where i started last sesh. Failed at the end of last 2 reps. Not bad!

F 2,3,4:
1:  -5:  Went BW last time. Painful on f2, but no fail. :)
2:  BW:  Failed last second of the last rep. >:-> OkOk.

[Untape F5]

Wide Pinch:
1:  -65:  Off by 10#. Big ol' massive fail on the last rep.
2:  -55:  Where i left off last time. Failed on last 2-ish reps. Not too bad.

Sloper:
1:  -7.5:  5# off last sesh. Really failed on the last 3 reps. Bleh.
2:  -5:  Failed on the last rep only. Weird. Totally mental.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -92.5:  10# off'n the last round. No fail. Way hard.
2:  -82.5:  This is where i started last sesh. No fail! Woot!

I really cannot whine about that one. I've lost a li'l bit o' strength, which i expected. But this is a very fine place to be starting off for the season. Very encouraging.
