Hangboard #7

Another good one here. Some serious gains and some plateaus--the difference of which make for a net gain. I can definitely tell a difference when i take three days off and when i take two. Seems like it might be worth it to take the extra day about every other session. Weighed in pre-workout at 200.0lbs.

This time i had the two days off. Skin was certainly not healed, and i still felt some fraying, but i saw some very happy gains, notwithstanding.

WUJ:  -15. check.

Large Open:
1:  +30 (+5):  No fail.
2:  +40 (+5):  Ugh! Failed very end of the last two reps.

F 2,3:
1:  -40 (same):  No fail.
2:  -25 (+5):  NO FAIL!!! This was torturous happy sauce.

SemiClosed:
1:  -15 (+5):  No fail.
2:  -5 (same):  Better. Failed last 2 reps.

F 2,3,4:
1:  -5 (+20):  Last minute decision on the weight, and it worked out mighty fine. No fail. Big gain.
2:  +5 (+10):  Haaaard last rep. i think, honestly, i dropped my feet 'fore the timer beeped. Homing in on a limit here. Time to start pushing it.

Wide Pinch:
1:  -35 (same):  Failed on the last rep. Way betta'. 2 reps better.
2:  -25 (same):  Failed last 2.5 r. That's half a rep better.

Sloper:
1:  +25 (+5):  Really failed last 2.5.
2:  +35 (+5):  Good. Failed last 1.5. Same as last sesh, but 5 lbs heavier.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -60 (same):  Better. Failed last 2 reps instead of the last 3.
2:  -45 (same):  Again, better. Last 2 reps really.

It's exciting that there could be more gains ahead even this season. Once again, i'm looking really forward to taking this to the climbs. Yank n Yard is coming up soon. :)
