Hangboard #9 (Season 3)

Another fairly hot day to end hangboarding on. Can't say i made any really jaw-dropping progress from last time to today, but it went pretty well. Amazing how long 7 seconds can seem when you're maxed out and can feel your skin rending. And amazing how much difference 10 or so degrees of temp can make. Starting to understand why folks climb in the snow.

This time i taped F2 so's to save as many skin cells as possible. Worked for a while.

WUJ:  -15: Fine. Didn't drop my hands, and that makes a difference.

Large Open:
1:  +17.5: Same. No fail. Hot.
2:  +27.5: Same, 'cept i failed at the veeeery end of the last rep; so an improvement (if a small one).

F 2,3 Pocket:
1:  -10: Hot. Slippin', but no fail.
2:  BW: Started a hair late on the last two reps, but no fail-- so better. :)

SemiClosed Crimp:
1:  -20: Really failed last 3 or 4 reps. Taped was slipping. Untaped F2 after this one.
2:  -10: Whew! Failed last 3ish reps, but i forgot to clip in for the first one. Hurtin' here.

F 2,3,4:
1:  +15: This was a 5# incr. Sweating. Big ol' fail last 1.5 reps.
2:  +25: Again, 5# incr. Failed last 1.5 reps, but good 'til then.

Wide Pinch:
1:  -45: Same weight. Sorta failed at the very end. Really hot.
2:  -35: Same. Failed last 1.5 reps. Coulda used a rechalking here. Not bad really.

Sloper:
1:  BW: Failed last 1.5 reps. yeah.
2:  +10: Failed at the end of the last rep. Odd that. Made a point to blow on my hands and shake out between every rep, which seemed to help.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -70: Failed end of last rep.
2:  -60: This was a 5# regression. Still failed at the end, but it was better than last workout.

Easy to get hung up on the smallish changes from workout to workout; but i went back and looked at the first workout this season, and i added from 15 to 25+ lbs to every grip. To be fair, i'm almost 5# lighter now than i was then, but that's still pretty reasonable progress in under a month of training. Makes me wonder what could happen if i didn't take months in between strength sessions. I'd really like to flex some discipline and protract the sending season this time, and start over sooner. Might find i could crush stuff i can't really imagine just now.

Anyhow, enough hanging. It's on to Power! :))
