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...
