Hangboard #2 and some back work

Saturday (would'a' been 1/30/16) did Hangboard numma two. Got to do this one in the daytime, so it was a lot more comfy. 'Fact, i turned the heater on, and it was too hot. Despite the pics of the hardcore sending v13 in the snow, i feel like i perform better when i can sense from what i'm trying to hang. Pretty good workout for a fat boy. Clocked in at over 201 first thing in the morning.

WUJ:  -15. Managed to hang the weight this time.

Large Open:
1:  +25. Ok.
2:  +35: If i were honest, i prolly popped last 1/10 sec last rep. Hard.

F3,4:
1:  -40. Got it! Very hard.
2:  -30. failed last 2-3 secs last two reps. Not too bad!

SemiClosed:
1:  -25: Decreased from last time by 5# and send. Hard last rep.
2:  -15:  Increase by 5# from last round. got most of the 5th, then a massive fail on last rep. >-)

F2,3,4:
1:  BW:  Increase by >10lbs. 1st 3 were fine, but then i was slipping on my tape. Gotta untape.
2:  BW:  Untaped for this one. Failed halfway through the last 2. Way better.

Wide:
1:  -40:  5# increase. Failed last two. Nice. Hard.
2:  -30:  'Nother 5# increase. Failed last two, with total fail on the last one.

Slopey:
1:  +25: Fail on last 3. Ugh.
2:  +35:  Last 3. Hard. But not too far off.

Narrow:
1:  -65: Failed last 4 i think.
2:  -55:  Failed last 3. Odd.

Good one. Not too far off of where i left off last season, and i'm quite a lot heavier now.

After this i went to town and hit the gym for a very quick one. Got in Deficit Deads and Pullups. No time for anything else.

D Deads:
21 floor touches
21 Straight leg with the bar
12 x 145 SL
8 x 245 SL
4 x 345 Normal
2 x 445. Super psyched! Locked two with no problem.

P'lups:
20 x BW
8 or 10 with +25
5 x +45. bit tired here.
3 x +65. Really didn't lock the 3rd one completely. That's the first time i've gone up on weight in a long time. Kinda' excited to start pulling some heavy weight again, and see if it crosses into campusing.

Happy workout for only fitting in two exercises.

Hangboard #1 etc.

So this last saturday and sunday i did the AMGA climbing wall instructor cert. Good times. Should prove profitable for starting a club/team.

Saturday i did manage to squeeze in deadlifts, and--Lo!-- i locked 445 from a deficit! Super amped about that.

Tuesday i did Hangboard #1 for season 5. It was miserably cold, and that seriously detracted from the quality. Very weird sensation hanging when yer fingers feel like they're made of wood. I roughly followed #6 from the last season, and that sorta worked out. Main theme: i needed to warm up better. My hands stayed frozen 'til i was nearly to the pinches! Also my timer didn't beep, so that was disconcerting. Yeah: several kinks to work out.

WUJ: BW. a certain small girl adjusted the cord on my weight pin, so i didn't get the weight off the ground for this one.

Large Open: (f2 to 1st dimple)
1:  +25:  Got it. Numb.
2:  +35:  Missed the last 2.

F 3,4: (Shallow)
1:  -40:  Got it! Last second....
2:  -35:  Failed last two. Again, miserably cold.

SemiClosed: (f3 to outside dimple)
1:  -20:  Failed last 3. Totally couldn't feel my 4th fingers at all.
2:  -20:  Didn't move the weight here. Couldn't feel a thing. failed last two reps.

F2,3,4: (Shallow scalloped)
1:  -10: Faled last second last rep.
2:  -5:  Yeah. got it. 'Bout warmed up here.

Wide:
1:  -45:  Failed last rep.
2:  -35:  Failed last rep. better here. Warmer.

Sloper:
1:  +20:  Failed last 3. Bleh.
2:  + 30:  failed last 2.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -65:  big ol' fail last 3.
2:  -55:  Basically massive fail.

cold cold cold. gotta get some heat or workout earlier.

Season 5 ARCing

So. Tonight i finished up ARCing. Basically. Monday i did 3 x 30mins; then Tues i did 3 x 25mins. Today (after a day off cuz my hands felt like ground meat) i did a 30min sesh. S'posed to be two, but i really felt like bouldering a bit and being home.

very encouraging. I weighed in a few ounces over two hundo this morning, so i'm too fat. But i climbed like a hoss tonight. With one day of rest, 30mins of climbing at a good clip went by really easily. So now i can start hangboarding.

Saturday is Climbing Wall Instructor cert. Looking really forward to that. And i'm looking forward to hangboarding. I'm really REALLY looking forward to starting a climbing team.

Back Work

Yesterday i got off work early ('cuz i had to work today), so i went in for some back thrashin'. And it was good.

Did Deficit Deads, and got 445 up to the bottom of my patellae, but couldn't muster the wherewithal to lock. This convinced me i should work on pin lockouts again. Be mighty nice to see the numbers climb.

Then did Good Mornings. That was just fine.

Then did P'lups. That went particularly well, and i worked up to (i believe) a set of 5 with +55 and a set of 3 or 4 with +65. That was satisfying.

Then did DB Rows and worked up to a set of 5 with 115. That was kinda nice too.

Then i did Face Pulls with some weight.

Then did Straight Arm Pressdowns. I kinda like these, and look forward to seeing how they translate to Campusing.

Good workout.

Catch up to Season 5

That's a li'l hard to believe: i haven't written for almost two months. On the bright side, i have been working out. Looks like i'm on to season 5; but first the catchup.

Shortly after that last post i did string four routes together pretty tidily. Then went into just trying to send some hard routes. All on plastic. Never made it outside. Kept climbing for the next month, then called it about a week and a half before Christmas in order to get a two week rest to start a new season. Also tried to get back into the irongym about that time.

First session of deadlifting i sproinged my back. Was largely outta commission for the next week or two. have recovered, and've been hitting it pretty regularly. I can almost do the deficit warmup. Went in last saturday and missed 445 a couple o times. Soon though.

Also have started back with Good mornings, weighted p'lups, DB rows and face pulls. got a coupla sets of about 6 with +45 on p'lups and did a set of 6 (i think) with 110 on DB rows. Not a bad sesh.

This week i've started back into enduro climbing. Monday i did a bench workout in the barn. Got a single with 210. That's sad, but i can live with it. Tues i did the first sesh of ARCing at 2 sets of 30mins. Today (thurs) did 2 sets of 35mins. Did take a fall 'cuz a foothold spun on me, but that was it. Very difficult wall right now. But i'm also just outta shape for enduro.

Did weigh in at 199 this morning. That's better. Got up to about 207 whilst in tx over the holiday. So there's a smidge o progress.
