Hangboard #9 (last one for season 4)

Definitely feeling tired today. Really could'a' used another day of rest. But G&M are coming, so i figured it was either now or not at all. Really do seem to heal better and get better workouts in if i take 3 full days off instead of 2 about every other rest period. Might intentionally plan that next season.

Since this is the last hangboard sesh, i think i'll take the space and detail everything. Weighed in at 200.0lbs tonight pre-workout. Seems to work best to tape only f 3&4 on the present grips. Also went back and looked at HB#9 from last season. That, at least, is encouraging.

WUJ:  -15. Just fine.

Large Open:
1:  +35 (+5):  Hard. No fail.
2:  +45 (same):  Failed last rep. Bleh. This is a change from +17.5 & +27.5 respectively last season. Using the inner dimple at f2.

F 3,4:
1:  -35 (same):  Fail last two. Seemed the taped was slipping, so i detaped after this.
2:  -25 (same):  Failed last 3. Just plain tired. Can't compare this one 'cuz i'm using the shallowest pocket on the board.

SemiClosed:
1:  -15 (same):  OK. Hard.
2:  +10 (+5):  Got two clean. Prolly a li'l ambitious. Mighty hard. Up from -20 and -10 last season. happy gain. Using the outside dimple at f3.

F 2,3,4:
1:  BW (+>5):  No fail. :))
2:  +10 (same):  Failed last second last rep. Can't compare last season cuz i'm using the shallow scalloped pocket.

Wide Pinch:
1:  -35 (same):  Better. Fail last 1.5ish.
2:  -25 (same):  Don't quite know...failed last 3-4ish. Compare to -45 & -35 respectively last season.

Slopa':
1:  +25 (same):  Good grief! failed last 3.
2:  +45 (+5):  'Cuz why not go big? Very happy. Failed last 1.5.  Compare to BW and +10 last season. That is a 35lb bump. :)

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -55 (same):  OK. failed last 2.
2:  -45 (same):  Big fail last two or three. Still, compare to -70 and -60 last season. Good stuff.

Funny, 'cuz i felt like i didn't make as steep gains as i imagined i might; but there were some huge gains compared to the same point last season, and on nearly every grip. Nothing to be too downcast about here. Just gotta figure out how to lose some weight now. Yank n Yard's coming up in a few weeks.
