No-hangs:
10mm edge: 5 x 5s each hand @ 45kg
4mm edge: 3 x 5s each hand @ 20kg
Notes:
- Backed off slightly, still comfortably 90%+, but slightly less risky than the maximal loads i was going for
- Not totally convinced on the 4mm edge, it is forcing me to full crimp, but it also really fucking hurts. Itās definitely not designed to be lifted on. Not sure whether the gains are worth the pain.
Edit: Just googled my lifting edge, and the edges that are meant to be lifted on are 20mm and 15mm, which makes the super sharp edge 5mm.

Thats really small. Like, 17/73rds of an eel belly if my conversion is correct.
Tough squeeze man.

Push day (day 10)
Was intending to do some pulling too, but did something in my shoulder yesterday and pulls were feeling off. Might get some no hangs in later, but will be away with the family and not training for a week after

Also played around with some squats. Felt suprisingly good on the lower body, but really bad on the elbow.

Push day 12
Fairly lackluster day, undercaffeinated i think. Did the required strength sets, then got a moderate pump with back off sets. Probably a good plan, because iāll be back in 2 days and recovery is slow at the minute. Also played around with squats a bit more seriously. Trying not to go crazy with them and get the kind of sore that stops me walking properly. Elbow feels improved, but not good at the minute so iām avoiding pulling workouts.

Spent the day outside with my mates trying some boulders. Found a project that iām pretty excited about, feels like it could be a nice long term goal. Video below of a good climber doing it.

Push and squat session (day 14): ptobably the first day the prescribed reps felt really hard. Might be to do with doing this fasted, but also this session just looks really out of place with the other sessions.

Push day (day 15)
Squatting practice
Push felt good. I seem to prefer bodybuilder style training now, which is honestly weird. Squat felt shit, lots of pain in places, hence practice, not an actual session.

3 hours bouldering comp
Did quite poorly, dropped a lot of points on stuff i should have been able to do. A few excuses like the unbelievable heat and more than a few niggles, but mostly i just didnāt perform well enough.

Push day (day 16). Pretty lacklustre day, gym was crazy busy and i let it cost me some focus. I have now finished the program, and not sure what direction to go next with my training. Iāll be aiming to lose a fair amount of weight over the next 4 months, and iād like a training related goal to go with it that isnāt detrimental to climbing, but unclear where to go with that.

Short sharp performance related session, that wonāt destroy recovery too badly?
