Weighted pull ups (10kg):

Notes:

  • Feeling pretty shit at the minute, definitely got some man flu.

That is very impressive, I can usually only go about 5 minutes.

Missed a few sessions here, will do my best from memory:

Tues: some kettlebell work, can’t remember what

Wed: no hangs, left hand only, working sets were 5 x 5s @32.5kg on a 10mm edge. Also did some core work.

Thurs: limited kb work.

Fri:
Volume bouldering session. Loads of really cool stuff on the new set. Something bugging me in my right hand so didn’t try anything too finger intensive.

Work for today:

4 hours bouldering

5 x 4 weighted pull ups (10kg)

Notes:

  • Spectacularly unsuccessful session. Didn’t climb anything new, or get stronger, or get better.

@Cyrrex did you like that? Always nice to know what kind of content you guys are looking for.

Just try to make it more finger intensive next time.

Pull a bit harder on that wood, you mean?

Work for today:

No hangs (10mm edge):
5 x 5s @ 32.5kg

Ab work inbetween

Notes:

  • Right hand noticeably weaker than left, maybe a hangover of the niggle from last week. Left hand definitely ready to keep pushing linearly, right definitely isn’t. Will probably pull both back slightly next week.
  • Definitely need a good rest in-between sets of these, strength drops noticeably at less than 3mins rest.

Very much forgot to log here again. Finding time to train away from the kids, and inbetween the football has been difficult so kettlebell work has been very much off program, whenever it fits in. Climbing and weighted pull up work done more or less to plan.

Work for today:
Hard bouldering session, mostly moonboarding, but a little bit of working a new project boulder thats just gone up. I’ve now done all the moves individually, but stringing them all together is going to be really, really hard. Slightly less than a month until its reset, so its a very ambitious goal, but one i’m excited about.

Change hands when pulling on your wood.

Work for today:

3 hours bouldering, fairly physically easy but mentally difficult. Lots of sketchy slab problems.

Will do no hangs later before the football:

5 sets of 5s at 30kg on 10mm edge

I usually swap as soon as the blood returns to one of my hands.

Work for today:

Jumps/throws: 3 x 5

KB clean and press: 5 x 2 @ 24kg

10 rounds ABC (20kg and 16kg)

Notes:

  • I think i need to increase my volume of kb work if i want to avoid looking too much like a climber. Easy to say when i’ve got a fairly clear, sunny day after a decent nights sleep.

Is this done for time or do you just get them done

I used to do it EMOM, but it pissed me off waiting for the minute to roll round, and having to keep the display alive on my phone so i just go now. Probably about every 30-45 seconds would be my guess.

Work for today:

Hard bouldering, probably 2 hours of really solid physical effort here. Really happy with the session, even though i didn’t get any new ticks. Lots of progress on projects, and lots of try hard.

You boulderers use a lot of strange words

Work for yesterday:

3 hours hard bouldering at a new centre.

I’ve been feeling absolutely knackered for the last few days, aching everywhere, sore and mentally exhausted. Not sure what the issue is. Fingers crossed it will pass.

Edit:
Forgot to add, i also finished a route with a 360 move in the middle yesterday, which i was pretty proud of. Its not normally my style of climbing, i’m much better at pulling hard on stuff than balancey, co-ordination stuff. Unfortunately not on film though
