Hangboard #5

So 5 of 9 done. I'd have a hard time calling this a good workout. Really pretty perfect weather. But i think i ate too much, or the wrong thing. Felt like vomiting through most of it. Did make a few gains, but incurred some regressions as well. I guess the pasta was a bit heavier than i expected, and i should'a' remembered the Tums first.

WUJ:  -15:  Fine.

Large Open:
1:  +20 (same):  No fail, but hard. Seriously wondering if i'm putting my hands in the same place. For this set i put my middle finger on the outer dimple. Maybe i should look that up.
2:  +30 (same):  Kinda failed at the end. Moved my hands inward a bit. Not sure.

F 2,3:
1:  -40 (same):  Failed last sec last rep--mostly tape slip i think. Only had f3,4 taped this time.
2:  -25 (+5):  Massive fail. Just really tired. think i could'a used another day of rest here. Not healed. Ended up moving to the next larger pocket to finish. Really awful.

SemiClosed:
1:  -20 (same):  No fail, which is an improvement.
2:  -10 (same):  Failed last 2 seconds--which, again, is an improvement. Did fight for it though.

F 2,3,4:
1:  -30 (same):  No fail. Pretty easy. From the last workout i should have taken this up, but i think i was gun shy after feeling stale on the grips prior.
2:  -15 (+5):  No fail. ...Dunno; but i'm happy. :)

Wide Pinch:
1:  -40 (same):  No fail. Again, happiness. Bit cooler today which helps a ton on this grip.
2:  -25 (+5):  Failed last 1.5 reps. Really not bad.

Sloper:
1:  BW:  Can't seem to get past this. There's just something about that 7th rep. Failed at the last second, which probably is an improvement.
2:  +25 (+5);  Failed on the last rep. Not bad.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -60 (same):  End of the last rep, which i believe is better.
2:  -50 (same):  Failed last two reps--still a li'l bit better i think.

I'd like to chalk this one up as a poor workout; but honestly i made some gains. Just had an acid stomach and can't help but feel like i would have gone better if i'd an extra day of rest. Who knows? i was way psyched to do this going in--been looking forward to it. Then i came home and ate too much. Absurd!

Ah well: i think i have a job as a routesetter at the college. That improves morale. :)
