Ketchup: Hangboard #3, 4, and Back Work

Haven't had the chance to write in a bit, but have been basically doing the workouts. Did hangboard #3 on 4/25 (on schedule), but went to Santa Fe on the 28th and was completely outta pocket for the remainder of the week. So i didn't work out that day, but climbed at StoneAge on the 29th in lieu of hangboarding. Actually bouldered 'til i was failing on jugs: maybe not the best alternative, 'cuz i felt it today, but a mighty mad workout notwithstanding. Next day (Thurs 4/30) did an iron workout in 'Querque. Planned on hangboarding again yesterday (5/1)--which woulda put me back on schedule-- but it also woulda put me 2 days out from the bouldering sesh, and by the time i got around to thinking about it seriously i was not feeling it. So i did hangboard #4 today, 3 days out from the boulder session. Did it mid-day, and it was hot. That was the theme for today. But not a bad workout after all.

4/25/15: Hangboard #3

Warmup Jug:  -15:  yup.

Large Open Hand:
1: +5:  Not too bad.
2:  +15:  Hard, especially on f1. No fail.

F 2,3 Pocket:
1:  -20:  Hardhard. No fail.
2:  -10:  Ow. Much better. Failed end of last rep.

[untape f4]

Semi-Closed Crimp:
1:  -15:  OK, no fail.
2:  -5:  Urg! Failed end of last rep.

F 2,3,4 Pocket:
1:  -5:  Hard, no fail.
2:  +5 (5lb inc):  Interesting. No fail >-))

[untape f5]

Wide Pinch:
1:  -65:  No fail. Not too bad.
2:  -52.5:  NO FAIL!! That's a bump!

Sloper:
1:  -10:  Failed last 2 reps at the end. :b
2:  BW:  Weird really. Failed last millisecond of the last rep. Did blow on my hands between reps. Helped?

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -82.5:  5# increase. Hard. Hard. No fail.
2:  -72.5:  again, 5# increase. Massive fail on the last rep. No fail theretofore.

Really good sesh. I'm'a go ahead and post Hangboard #4, so's to juxtapose the two; even though it came after the iron session. This was an odd one, cuz again it was a hot day and i was not healed from bouldering. Still i posted up some improvements. :)

5/2/15:  Hangboard #4

Warmup Jug:  -15:  OK. Bit acidic.

Large Open:
1:  +10:  5# inc. Hard. No fail. Very hot.
2:  +20:  Also 5# inc. verrrrryvery hard. No fail.

F 3,4 Pocket:
1:  -20:  Hard. Failed last 3 reps. Tape was sweating off.
2:  -10:  Yeah! No fail. Nearly degloved f3, but no fail!

[untaped f4]

Semi-Closed Crimp:

1:  -15:  failed with tearing skin. --> go smaller.
2.0:  Reset timer:  -30 with rings to black mark:  Failed last 3 (of 7).
2.1:  -25:  Very hard. Failed last 3 reps.

[taped f5 DIP]

F 2,3,4 Pocket:
1:  -5:  Painful. Failed last 2 reps. Bleh!
2:  +5:  Failed last 2 reps. Very tired. Ugh.

Wide Pinch:
1:  -62.5:  2.5# inc. Failed rep 6 and not rep 7. Misgrip there.
2:  -50:  another 2.5# inc. Rechalked at rep 3. Failed end of last rep. Not bad! Hot.

Sloper:
1: -10:  Failed end of last rep. Hot.
2:  BW:  Weird. NO FAIL! Even did an extra rep.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -82.5:  Hard.
2:  -72.5:  No fail!! Even did an extra rep again.

So fairly good workout even though it was pretty hot. i think i need to procure some sort of easy-access chalk pot instead of the bag. Might help a bit.

4/29: Back Work:

Deads:  Same workout, but i got a double with 445. Totally failed with 485.

G'mornings:  12 x 115, 12 x 135, 12 x 155, 12 x 175. last set was a 20# increase.

P'lups:  25 x bw, 2 x +25 x 10, 2 x +45 x about 5 or 6.

One-arm DB Rows:  12 x 90, 2 x 8 x 100. Very tired here.

Very happy with the double with 445 on deads. Pleasantsauce.
