Got in session numma one on Ye Olde Campus Boorde. Honestly it was disappointing. Hands felt frayed and worn out still. I think i did more damage with the last two hangboard workouts than i'd thought. But also i was looking through my campus workouts from almost exactly a year prior, and i weigh around 7 lbs more now. Weighed in at 207 clothed.
Of note, i am still hitting the irongym a coupla times per week, and that is also taking a toll. Lifting for power and very hard climbing just aren't terribly compatible, as it turns out.
Campus #1 Happened 3 days ago on 2/26/16.
XXL)
Basic ladder
L)
R3-M4: Easy
L3-M4: Easy
R3-M5: Got it!
L3-M5: Got it. Not too bad.
R4-5: Touch miss
L4-M5: got it1st go.
R4-M5: Got it pretty easy that time.
L4-6: Not even close. :-/
M)
1-3-5: Fail bilat.
R3-5M: Got it. Hard.
L3-5M: Got it after a try or two. Hard.
S)
Basically did some hangs and jump snags. Was ok.
L)
Went back and did some bumps to finish off. Got a couple of sets going about 3 bumps each hand.
Back Work:
Deficit Deads:
21 x the bar SL
12 x 145 SL
8 x 245 SL
5 x 345 Regular
2 x 445
Rack Pulls:
5 x 415
3 x 470
2 x 525. Funny here--i first accidentally racked 550 and got it off the pins, but couldn't lock. Couldn't figure out what happened. Then i realized it and managed a double with the 525.
P'lups:
20 x BW
10 x +25
6 x +45
4 x +65
1ish x +90. Really didn't lock this well.
Left here to go boulder, and then came back and did DB rows.
DB Rows:
10 x 80ish. Forgot where i started last time. These were really pretty easy, although my grip was thrashed after the climbing.
8 x 105
6 x 115
6 x 120. There're no 5# increments past 120, and i was a li'l skeptical about pulling 130 'cuz i was having trouble holding onto the bar. But i think we can skip the 115 next time. Didn't do any ancillary stuff as i was pretty wasted and needing to leave.
Limit Boulder #1
Basically i worked a really hard problem for 5-8 burns. Actually, i doubt it was a really hard problem. I was just tired when i got there. But it did have a painful, crimpy crux at move three that qualifies it in my estimation. But hard to rate it, because i was really fatigued.
Also, i did get my mt bike fixed. Now i have only poor, hollow excuses for not getting out there.

Back and Hangboard #8
Got in for back work today, and it was a doozy. Actually didn't have a hard time limit today, so i got to tear it down.3/3/3 day on Deads. Prolly gunna pay for that in the morning. Tonight i did go out for a hangboard workout as well. Really not a good combo in one day. The muscles are different enough between lifting and hanging that it's not a straightforward conflict, but i was definitely feeling beaten up tonight. Not a good workout, but i don't think i irreversibly damaged anything.
Deads:
Normal warmup of Deficits with only 25# plates.
21 x bar
12 x 145 SL
8 x 245 SL
4 x 345 normal
2 x 445
Then set up on the pins (2nd hole up) for rack pulls.
3 x 440
3 x 470
3 x 495
These felt pretty good. Not easy, but i got 'em pretty smoothly.
Good Mornings:
12 x 135
12 x 155
Stopped here 'cuz i really don't wanna be broken down for next week's go.
P'lups:
20 x BW
10 x +25
6 x +45. These went well, and i coulda' cranked out a few more.
3 x +65. Locked all o' these.
2 x +90. These i cannot say i locked clean.
DB Rows:
10 x 95. Somebody was using the 90s.
8 x 105
6 x 115
Stopped here. Coulda' likely lifted heavier, but i was getting tired and sloppy end of that last set.
OneArm PullDowns:
Seems like:
10 x 100
4-6 x 145
3 x 160. got one on each side solid, then cheated another two down for negatives.
StraightArm PressDowns:
Several.
Hangboard #8
WUJ: -15.
Large Open:
1: +25: No fail, but hard. Went down on these by 10# 'cuz i felt like i was grabbing the rail lower with my thumbs. This was better.
2: +35: Hard. Failed end of last 2r. Better.
F3,4:
1: -25: Same. Failed end of last 3r, last r total.
2: -15: Same. Got the first rep. Right flexor felt unraveled--tweaking bad.
[Untaped]
SemiClosed:
1: -15: Failed end of last 3.
2: -5: 1st two were ok. Failed last rep completely. Really tired.
F2,3,4:
1: +10: Same. OK 'til the last 2ish r. Tired!
2: +25: 5# incr. Good first 3r. Weight was dragging the ground for some reason. That kinda threw me off.
Wide:
1: -35: Same. Failed last 3r. Whew.
2: -25: Wow. Hard from the 1st rep. Super tired.
Slopa':
1: +25: 10# decr. Don't even know...got 2 or 3.
2: +50: 5#incr. 'Cuz why not go out in a blaze of glory? 1st 3 were pretty good.
Narrow:
1: -60: Same. Bad. maybe 2 reps? Right forearm was tweakin' mad.
2: -50: Bleh.
Took 5 days off between last workout and this one, and was still really worn down and i did something more evil than i thought to my right flexors. Can't quite tell what i damaged or how bad, but it definitely shewed its angry eyes and bared its teeth. Gonna call it for the season on hangboard. I'm apparently to that special point where i'm doing more damage than good. Still a very good season of it. I added actually a decent amount of weight to some key grips, and am around 7# heavier than last season, which amounts to some impressive strength gain. Now to drop the lard.

Chest n Abs
Got in another week's chest work. Still no real plan here. Just trying to fill in the pectus excavatum. Did switch it up a bit.
OH Press:
30ish x the bar
10 x 95
6 or 8 x 115
4 x 135
1 x 155. I'm pretty sure this is where i landed. i think it was 155. Felt like i pushed on this for two full minutes, but got 'er locked out. Kinda pleased to get that. Not too terribly far off of my PR. I think it helped to do these before bench.
DB Bench:
10 or 12 x 50. Honestly wasn't sure what i could push here.
8ish x 65
6 x 75ish
4 x 85. i think. I cannot actually remember my weights. But that's pretty close.
Dips:
2 x 15
1 x 12. Was very tired here.
Straight Leg Raise:
2 x 30
1 x 20. Had to fight for these. Still feeling that. These could do me some good if i stick with 'em.
That's it. I have trouble getting psyched about chest day. But i do have lots of room to improve.

Hangboard #7
Two to go. Definitely starting to feel it. Nothing seriously damaged so far, but i'm skirting the line methinks. Also, i'm wondering if instead of doing just the same set/rep scheme every time, if it wouldn't work better to taper into campusing. Say, fewer reps on the last set, but heavier. Head toward a 1RM. i might just try that for the last two workouts. Lighten the first set a smidge, then go really heavy aiming for 2 reps to fail.
WUJ: -15.
Large Open:
1: +35. Same. Fail last 3. Dunno 'bout these. Feel like i'm using my thumbs a lot on the ledge below.
2: +45: Same. Last 3. Hard. Very tired.
F 3,4:
1: -25: Same. Last 3. Yeah.
2: -15: Same. Mighta' got 2. Ugh. Went to the next larger pocket to finish. Tore the skin on L f3, and i think i was slipping on blood.
{untaped here}
SemiClosed:
1: -15: Same. Fail last 3ish. Finger was bleeding.
2: -5. Same. Failed part of last 3, last two were bad. Tired but i did these in the day, and it was also a lot warmer. Hard to say...
F 2,3,4:
1: +10: Incr by 5#. Ok here: last 2 secs last two reps.
2: +20: Also 5# incr. Again, end of last two reps. Not bad!
Wide Pinch:
1: -35: Same. Good effort, i thought. Fail last 2.5r.
2: -25: Same. Got 2 solid. Hard.
Slopey:
1: +35: last 2 pretty bad. Better than last sesh!
2: +45: Last 2.5. Solid 'til then.
Narrow Pinch:
1: -60: Same. Skipped r 5 for chalk, which helped. Fail last 3.
2: -50: Same. Failed last teeny second 3rd rep. Bleh!
Right. So if i can remember it, i'll shoot for a 2RM second set of a few choice grips. I'm thinking SemiClosed, F 2,3,4 and the Sloper. Vamos a ver.

Hangboard #6 & Back Work: 5/5/5 day
Looks like i'm posting a couple minutes late for Saturday. Friday 2/12/16 got in Hangboard #6. Three to go. Took four days off instead of three, because i was feeling pretty torn down. I think that was a good idea. Notwithstanding, it was largely a holding pattern with no striking gains. But that's ok. I did see some progress on a few grips, and have made some good gains from last season already. I'm just very thankful to not be injured. Definitely skirting the hairy edge of injury, especially on the two finger pocket.
WUJ: -15: check.
Large Open:
1: +35: Failed last two reps.
2: +45: Ended up up being a decrease. Failed last 2 reps. I do notice on this that i really hang my thumbs on the grip lower. Very cold out there this night.
F 3,4:
1: -25: Same. Failed last 3 reps at the end. Definitely feelin' some tendon stretch in the right forearm.
2: -15: Same. Really failed on last 3. Not bad...just tired.
SemiClosed:
1: -15: Untaped prior to this one. No Fail!! That's a huge improvement.
2: -5: Failed at the end of the last three reps. Better.
F 2,3,4:
1: +5: Same. No fail. Better!
2: +15: Same. Again, No fail!
Wide:
1: -35: Same. Failed last 3. 1st 4 were solid.
2; -25: 1st 2 were solid.
Slopa:
1: Ugh! Might'a got 2-3 reps
2: -25: Same. 1st 2 were solid
Narrow:
1: -60. Same. Better!! Fail last 2ish.
2: -50: Same. got 3 ok. Whew! then today i went n for backwork.\
Back:
Deficit Deads:
21 x the bar
12 x 145 SL
8 x 245 SL
5 x 345 Normal with belt
2 x 445 Not too horrible
Rack Pulls (from a 550 max): 5/5/5
405 x 5. Definitely hedged here. Wasn't sure i could last through this seeing as it's been prolly over a year since i've done these. I can't actually find my PR lift, but that was 505. Must'a been early 2014, so it's really been closer to 2 years. Good grief.
440 x 5
470 x 5. Hard, but not too bad. i could probably bump to a higher max. Guess we'll see how the rest goes. Pretty psyched to work off 550 without a hitch. Look forward to seeing if i can actually pull 525+.
P'lups:
20 x bw
10 x +25
5 x +45
3 x +65. Very tired here. Just didn't feel too snappy on any of these. Plus i was racing the clock, so i didn't have much of a shakeout 'twixt sets.
DB Rows:
10 x 90
8 x 100
6 x 110
Really wanted to do a set with 120, but just didn't feel like i had time.
Good workout though. Nice to be through the first set of 5/5/5. I'd been dreading that.

Dips:
Got 2 x 15 and a third set with 10
Totally dead in the shoulders and arms now. Need to work on this more. I just have a really hard time getting motivated to work chest. And abs just hurt. But i need to. Anyway--pretty good workout.

Hangboard #5
So we're over halfway through hangboarding now. I'm actually kinda amped: put gains on several grips from the end of last season's already. AND i'm heavier than i was last season. So again, if i could drop a stone or so, i'd be climbing some hard stuff. I'm definitely gauging my workouts by the F3,4 pocket; and that has really been a point of gains from last season.
WUJ: -15.

Back Work
Got to sneak in for a back day yesterday Querque. Really good workout. Kind of an old school iron gym, and i really dig it. Bunch of meatheads. Very little lycra. Clocked in at 201 first thing in the morning.
Deficit Deads:
21 x bar SL
12 x 145 SL
8 x 245 normal form
4-6 x 345 no belt
2 x 445 Belt for this one. Pretty easy. As such, i tried one with 495 (still from a deficit), and failed pretty quickly. But i did disencumber it of its moorings; just couldn't lock. It's coming though.
P'lups:
20 x BW
10 x +25
6 x +45
4 x +65 This was a very tidy increase
3 x +80 Again, nice bump. Can't say i locked that last rep clean.
2 x +90 Ok, more like 1.5 than 2, but i did lock the first one fine.
DB Rows:
10 x 90
8 x 100 Really easy
6 x 110 Still clicked these pretty easily
4 x 120 These were not so easy. Growled for the last coupla reps. But that maxed their DBs, so i was happy.
Straight Arm Cable Pressdowns:
Several sets. Finally worked up to 10ish with around 100#. These were on an ancient cable machine, and i really liked it. No gimmicks. Curious to see if these will add anything to the Campus work.
Very happy workout, really. I was hoping to do Rack Pulls for Deads, but their power racks aren't terribly conducive to this, and i was racing the clock to get a workout in. So maybe next week. Also i didn't get Good Mornings in for a second week. But i was super psyched to get some weight up on Pullups, and with how easy 445 felt from the deficit pulls. Now to lose weight with some ferocity...
Deficit Deads:
21 x bar SL
12 x 145 SL
8 x 245 normal form
4-6 x 345 no belt
2 x 445 Belt for this one. Pretty easy. As such, i tried one with 495 (still from a deficit), and failed pretty quickly. But i did disencumber it of its moorings; just couldn't lock. It's coming though.
P'lups:
20 x BW
10 x +25
6 x +45
4 x +65 This was a very tidy increase
3 x +80 Again, nice bump. Can't say i locked that last rep clean.
2 x +90 Ok, more like 1.5 than 2, but i did lock the first one fine.
DB Rows:
10 x 90
8 x 100 Really easy
6 x 110 Still clicked these pretty easily
4 x 120 These were not so easy. Growled for the last coupla reps. But that maxed their DBs, so i was happy.
Straight Arm Cable Pressdowns:

Hangboard #4
[This should've been published yesterday, 2/5/16, but i fell asleep before i hit the button. Just so's the date is accurate...ed]
I'll admit i had fairly low expectations for this. So i distantly exceeded them. Weighed in at 202 and change this morning, didn't sleep well, didn't feel entirely healed from Tuesday's session, and tipped 209 fully clothed before heading out. But the psych was there, and it was a good workout. Did do a pretty good warmup, but it was mighty chilly out there tonight. very blessed to have a heater.
WUJ: -15. check.
Large Open:
1: +35: 5# incr. Ugh! Failed on the last 3 reps really. Couldn't feel the board. Just frozen still.
2: +45: 5# incr. Better! Failed at the end of the last three.
F3,4:
1: -30: 5# incr. YEAH! NO FAIL!
2: -20: 5# incr. Failed last 2 secs last rep. that would be a hardy PR! :)
SemiClosed:
1: -15: 5# incr. Hard. Last few secs of last 3 reps.
2: -5: 5# incr. Failed on the last 4--totalled the last rep. Think i was feeling the prior grip here.
F2,3,4:
1: BW: Same. Yes! Last 2 secs last rep.
2: +15: 5# incr. Failed end of the last 2 reps. Again, that'll be a PR. :)
Wide Pinch:
1: -35: Same. Ugh. Last 3r--last one total fail.
2: -25: Same. Yeah.Failed last 4 again. 1st 2 were good.
Slopa':
1: +35: Same. Yuck. Last 4ish.
2: +45: 5# incr. Last 2.5. Betta'!
Narrow Pinch:
1: -65: Same. Fail last 1.5. Way better!
2: -55: Same. i think i got 3 solid. Hard.
Seeing increases here.Kinda hard to believe, 'cuz i'm fairly portly even compared with last season. So on most grips i've basically added weight even if i haven't added iron. Recurring theme: if i could slough 20ish lbs of lard, i'd be clmbing at a different level entirely.

Hangboard #3
Did HB#3 last night (2/2/16). After the first one last Tues night, freezing my butt off, and trying to hang from frozen paws, i was a hair reticent. But last night i was armed with a fresh tin of propane, and i took the time to do a proper warmup. Very different deal, and i actually made some progress, extra clothing and extra fat notwithstanding. Believe i weighed in at around 202 first thing in the am, and was a bit over 207 in clothing without a harness.
WUJ: -15. Check.
Large Open:
1: +30: 5# incr. Fail last rep.
2: +40: 5# incr. Huh. Hard. Not exactly a fail.
F3,4:
1: -35: 5# incr. This has me back where i left off last season, except NO FAIL! Woot!
2: -25: 5# incr. Again, back where i left off, except i failed last 3 secs last rep instead of the last 3 reps! This gives me hope for my tubby booty.
SemiClosed:
1: -20: 5# incr. Fail last 3 secs last rep. Not too bad.
2: -10: 5# incr. Pretty solid fail on the last 3r. Good 'til then.
{Untaped here}
F2,3,4:
1: BW: Same. Failed last 3 secs last 3 reps. Ugh. But better.
2: +10: >10# incr. Weird really. Failed last 1.5r. Weight-wise, this has me back to where i left off last season. Not bad for only being 1/3 way through hangboarding. :)
Wide Pinch:
1: -35: 5# incr. Pretty good. Failed last 2 r.
2: -25: 5# incr. Ugh. Failed last 4ish...? Hardhard.
Slopa':
1: +35: 10# incr. Meant to take this to 30# and threw a dime on 'stead of a nickel. Failed last 3, but it was a nice surprise to be heavier than i had in mind. This put me 10# up from last season!
2: +40: 5# incr. Huh. Fail last 2, totaled the last one. At any rate, more weight with less fail than last sesh, and i'm nearly back to last season's weight.
Narrow:
1: -65: Same. Fail last 3. Hard. but better.
2: -55: Same. Last 3, so also the same.
Super encouraging workout! Pretty much back to where i left off last season; and stronger on some grips (notably the 2 finger pocket). Now if i could figure out how to shed 20lbs...
