Aug 2022

 1 Aug 2022 -- Limit bouldering

warmup: 30 minutes of kinda continuous easy climbing, doing the 3 lowest grades (yellow, blue, purple) climbs, up and down
20 mins hard bouldering - working some green and orane climbs
30 mins hard bouldering - the same red and spray wall climbs. no progress. slightly worse actually, previously I was able to make at least one successful attempt at getting all 3 spray wall holds

NOTES: after the warmup, I felt a little soreness on the inside of my left index, 2nd knuckle (PIP? volar plate?) I climbed through it, it's alright for now

supplemental exercises (sorta). Did KB lowers because I was feeling some "climber's elbow"
35lb kb lowers (5 1st round, 4 2nd round)
10 slow pushups
2 front lever negatives

SE
3 rnds:
3  front lever negatives
weighted pullups (16kg) 5-4-4 (attempted 5)
5 ea. KB presses (21kg) 5-5-5

NOTES: Part of my attempt to add in non-linear stuff (i.e. random round of strength added in power phase). Just did slightly worse on the medium pinch. First front lever negative of 1st and 2nd round felt great! 3 second lower. Improved KB and weighted pullups from last time, but probably because I gave myself a full 5 minutes rest between rounds.



8 Aug -- limit bouldering

20-30 mins warmup climbs of blue and purples, this bled into doing some greens and oranges that weren't too difficult, but less continuous, i.e. I would rest about a minute between attempts.
+
hard bouldering 20 minutes on some red problems. I repeated one I've done before. Then I did a balancy red I tried before. I got futher but didn't match the final hold. I could grab statically with one hand though, previously I fell before grabbing it. Tried a third red a few times between chatting with a cute girl. A little weak to finish it, but got pretty close in all 3 tries
+
limit bouldering - same two problems. The red arete and the spray wall climb.

NOTES: I did worse on this part, but better in the hard bouldering so I have mixed feelings about today's success. Finished with 2 rounds of 2 front lever negatives just because. The first attempt of both rounds was fantastic. I'm making daily progress it feels like.



10Aug 2022 -- Campus board 3

warmup: 30 minutes easy climbing (yellow, blue, purple)
20-30 mins hard bouldering - Did one of the red climbs I failed on last session first go. Also did 2 attempts on the red arete. Both times I latched the last right hand pinch, I've never been able to do that before

supplemental exercises (sorta). Did KB lowers again for the "climber's elbow"
53lb kb lowers (5 1st round, 4 2nd round)
2 front lever negatives (again, pretty good)
* First round I matched up to rung 6, so two extra moves because I forgot what the top rung was supposed to be. I'm going to count it. I'm not counting it in the total, it's just extra (it would be 46/48 otherwise)

Also I'm switching to this alternative scoring system. Each round is out of 6 because there are 6 movements, a plus means I used or moved off but didn't latch the next hold and gives half a point. Much more legible

3 rnds:
3  front lever negatives
weighted pullups (16kg) 5-4-4 (attempted 5)
5 ea. KB presses (21.5kg) 5-4-3

NOTES: great front lever first round, pretty bad on the last round though. Added just .5 kg to the KB presses and I did pretty bad, no pulup improvement either (if it matters)


15 Aug -- limit bouldering

20-30 mins warmup pyramids up to purple+a few greens
+
20 mins hard bouldering 2 orange problems I never got before. I took about 3 tries each same two problems. The red arete and the spray wall climb. On final 2/3 attempts on red arete I got my high point; I Snagged the arete pinch and held it and fell working the feet up. Then on all 3 attempts of the spray wall climb, I grabbed the last hold of the 3 move sequence, but a foot slipped and I fell. Good progress
+
SE
2 rnds:
-3 front lever negatives
-10 slow pushups

NOTES: hard bouldering oranges

limit bouldering - same two problems. The red arete and the spray wall climb. On final 2/3 attempts on red arete I got my high point. Snagged the arete pinch and held it and fell working the feet up the next section. On all 3 attempts of the spray wall climb, I grabbed the last hold, but a foot slipped and I fell. Good progress


 I did worse on this part, but better in the hard bouldering so I have mixed feelings about today's success. Finished with 2 rounds of 2 front lever negatives just because. The first attempt of both rounds was fantastic. I'm making daily progress it feels like.



17 Aug -- sort of power endurance

20-30 mins warmup pyramids to greens
+
20 mins hard bouldering
tried an orange and red in the new set, didn't get either.
+
3 power endurancy stuff on the system wall with James (McCullen) as my stick man! Round times were about 1:30, 1:15, 1:00, but I fell during those rounds. I hopped back on if the falls were more from technical failure instead of muscle pump. A good transition into power endurance exercises, but this one was a tad tough



21 Aug -- Power endurance

20-30 mins warmup
+
hard bouldering - new oranges and a red attempt
+
2:4 work rest
attempted 6 rounds, my first 3 rounds were on the system wall and it was too hard. I fell many times from pump and tried to get back on to accumulate the time, it was ~1:30,1:15,1:00, then I switched to a regular overhung wall with a green and purple and managed to stay on closer to 3 minutes (though I definitely touched the ground, shook out and hopped back on). There's lots of room for improvement here


25 Aug -- Power endurance

20-30 mins warmup
+
hard bouldering - new orange and red
+
6 rnds linked bouldering circuit
2:4 work rest
Avoided the system wall ain instead went to the same overhang wall as last time with a green and purple climb:
1st and 2nd round I think I completed fairly, 3rd needed to depump on route. 4,5,6 I fell off and instead went to a very slightly overhaning wall with a yellow (the easiest possible level) and stayed on against the pump

NOTES: even a few hours later I feel a deep pump in my forearms



28 Aug -- Outdoor climbing

Did 3 climbs all about 5.9 or lower on TR (tried one aroun 10b but couldn't get it), not much really
