LB #2 and a run

Went for a 30min run earlier today, and that went well enough. Feeling the weird week of work hanging on like lead weights: it's much like an especially exhausting bout of bed-rest. So not a fast run, nor a smooth run, but i blew some carbon out the pipes, knocked a li'l rust off the hinges.

Plannin' to do Limit Boulder #2 here in a few minutes. I reckon it'd make more sense to post up about that after the workout, but i have time now. Anyhow, it's gunna be epic. I can feel it.

Campus #2 S:8

For some reason i logged the last handful o' workouts in the other blog. Got in Campus 2 yesterday, and honestly that was a li'l bleh. Good workout, but i'm feeling it. Right biceps is still tweaky, but again by the mercy of God, arm's still intact. I probably went a smidge heavy on the warmup prior as well. But was definitely feeling a bit stale for the campusing. Got up to 1,3,4M bilat hands on the medium rungs, and that was all i had. I do like those Tension rungs.

Did climb again today--probably flying in the face of wisdom. But it was raining, and i didn't feel like running in the rain. And i just really wanted to climb. And it wasn't a bad day. Got some good movement in.

HB #8 Season 8--Revamped workout #2

Once again did the 3 sets/grip workout down to 3 reps. I really like this workout. Actually did this on the 3 day mark, and felt pretty good--and even saw some progress. Definitely also had my weights dialed a li'l better this time, and (somewhat as expected) saw some gains on the Money sets by dropping the higher rep lead-in sets. I'm really looking forward to taking this bouldering.

Deal is, my biceps is not healing (and to be fair, so far i haven't given it much of a chance at it), and i'm not terribly confident i'm gunna be able to move into campusing in another week without injury. I am seriously considering extending the hangboarding for a few extra sessions--even possibly ramping the amperage up to 1 or 2 rep sets. But we'll see. If i can actually take a legitimate week or two off of climbing, and the biceps is not threatening rupture, i may keep trucking.

WUJ: -15

Large Open:
1: +10: (decr) No fail. Pretty easy.
2: +30: (decr) Very end o' the last rep
3: +50: (same) Last 1.5 secs. 'Bout right, maybe. Point here was not to destroy my widdle pingers for the smaller grips.

Small Crimp:
1: -65: (decr) No fail. Not bad. Botched this up royally last go, but this felt fine.
2: -45: (same) Last 1.5 fail, so better.
3: -35: (same) Again, got 1 solid. Surmised in my journal about 65/55/45. 65/50/40 might work better--i don't want the last set to be easy, or even fully doable. At any rate, as it it is i'm definitely working the power side.

F 2,3,4:
1: -15: (incr) Last 1/2 sec last rep. Not bad. Untaped here.
2: +5: (incr) Last 1 sec. Much better!
3: +25: (incr) No fail. Interesting.

Slopa':
1: +20: (10lb incr) Last coupla' secs last rep.
2: +40: (10lb incr) No fail again, but just berly.
3: +60: (10lb incr) NO FAIL! Closer though. :) I need those Beastmaker Slopies as modular screw-ons on the side. That'd be swell.

F 3,4,5:
1: -40: (same) No fail.
2: -20: (same) No fail.
3: BW: (same) Way better! Failed maybe last 4 secs last rep.

SemiClosed:
1: -50: (decr) No fail. Betta'.
2: -30: (decr) Last rep was a solid fail.
3: -10: (same) Really last 1.5 reps. That's half a rep better.

Then i went for a 30 minute run. Then i ate sushi. Pretty day.
