 2 Nov 2022 -- Regular climbing

Yet again, 3rd session in a row where I'm climbing with others so no specific training undergone. I desperately want to get back to it though. Today I climbed with Curran. During the warmup I repeated several of the oranges form the last session, made progress on the last one hard green and progress on a different orange which has since escaped me. I also tried some blacks just to sample and see what's possible. I repeated 2 reds from last session and got a new one while attempting 2 other reds. Very mixed bag

1 set of 4 front levers and 2 each side one arm negatives

3 rnds:

weighted pullups (22kg) 5-5-5

5 ea. KB presses (18kg) 5-5-5

3  front levers (tried for a weak 4th)

NOTES: Intendid for it to be a regular repeater hang routine, but the rope was nowhere. I did my best to convert my weights from last year April from lbs to kg. Fairly early on some jackass comes down with the rope from upstairs and still keeps it like he's going to use it and does some one arm assisted band pullups or something. He repeatedly leaves and comes back and doesn't actually use the rope. He puts it back near the very end and I get in one set with MRP (#9 on the list) where I can take off weight. 

I'm using the pinch blocks so it's not being weiged consistantly. I'm neither adding nor subtracting from my body weight. I'm just pinching the weight listed (16kg in this routine). For wide pinch (#7), my right hand was successful for both, left hand failed at 5 seconds in. Glaring weakness that can be addressed. Anyway, this was largely a failed routing, not the least bit because I dragged over a cup, gelatin and an orange to get back into the finger health/tendon loading protocol I was doing back in Jtree, hopefully there was some tiny benefit from that.

3 rnds:

weighted pullups (22.5kg) 5-5-5

5 ea. KB presses (18.5kg) 5-5-5

3  front levers

NOTES: *pinch blocks. I've recorded right hand and left hand separately because there was a significant difference. **Missing weights, couldn't make the required weight, These should have been 16.5 and 17.5, but the 1kg and 1.5kg weights were just gone :/   Pullups and KB presses again were easy, but I couldn't really add what I wanted try 24 and 20 next time

FOR NEXT SESSION. USE THESE WEIGHTS:

weighted pullups (24kg)

5 ea. KB presses (20kg)

3  front levers

19 Nov 2022 -- Just climbing

After a long break (for finals), I came back today. I was gonna hangboard, expecting it to be crowded, but I just wanted to climb since it has been so long, so I did. Got a few of the new oranges on the new set, and tried  a handful of reds, no louck, but I could make a few moves into each of them, so reds are starting to feel possible, they're just proving to be a bit difficult

NOTES: *pinch blocks. I've recorded right hand and left hand separately because there was a significant difference. Also for the 4th entry I made a guess here. I had 4S,6,6,8, maybe I meant 3S:6,6,8 or 4S:6,8 **Missing weights, couldn't make the required weight, this should have been 17. Also, weird that in the wide pinch my right hand was weaker than last time, doing the full 6 at the same weight.

baglock note: Date now is a guess. I'm looking back now to grab my HB numbers. Now it's Feb 2023 and I noticed right now I have "9 Nov" for both #3 and #4. I guess it doesn't really matter.

3 rnds:

5 squats (70kg ~ BW)

5 dips (body weight)

3 turkish getups (16kg I think double check)

NOTES: After 6 months I just discovered the climbing gym had a facility upstairs with a squat rack and stuff. Extremely useful for supplemental exercises. I haven't done squats and deadlifts in a while and i think it would be an excellent addition.

28 Nov -- regular climbing

Brought a friend from unilodge, Thomas, to climb with. He has a 2 week trial from this so we will go more times. I'm backlogging this (14 Dec), so I don't know exactly what I accomplished.
