Do you have Tactical Barbell book 2, or the Mass Protocol? They both have a section in there referred to as “Base Building”, which is an 8 week block that might be able to answer the mail here. The Base Building in TB2 is different from Mass Protocol, but both should help improve work capacity.

I have TB 3rd edition and Mass Protocol, so I’ll have a look at those if I decide to abort mission and go for a work capacity block.
At the minute, I’m thinking that this is designed to be a hypertrophy block, and it is meant to be unpleasant. It’s not meant to be building top end strength, and that i just need to remember that after i’m done with it. If i can use it to inspire a few ABC sessions as well, that’s not going to hurt though.

Ah, yeah, “not a bug but a feature”. It helps you look forward to the strength sessions.

Session flashed one of my more physical projects, and flashed a couple of other things, then spent about an hour playing around on the moonboard. Flashed the first 5 or so problems, then ran out of gas and got progressively worse as the session went on

Ankle has been really painful the last few days, not sure why

Lots of trying hard, not a lot of topping stuff.
Have decided to lay off gym work for a couple of weeks, give my ankle time to rest up and restart this program from scratch. I thinknthe squatting was what was making it worse.

Honestly didn’t do much here, it became really obvious really early on that my fingers weren’t going to be up to much.
Think i forgot to log a session on wednesday too

Work for today:
Moonboarding for 2 hours.
Managed to crack the crux of the problem i was trying last session. So well in fact, that it’s now the easiest move on the climb. Naturally, i keep falling off the other moves now.

I really enjoy board climbing. I’ve tried a Tension, Kilter, and Grasshopper board. I haven’t tried the Moonboard yet. Hopefully soon.

I go through phases of loving board climbing, i’m only just getting back into it and its definitely having an impact already. I’ve only played on the moonboard really, and a couple of goes on a fixed angle kilter board, but it’s absolutely the kind of climbing i enjoy

Cruised through a fairly spicy new set. All of them too out boulders, which i usually hate, but none of the top outs were too spicy today.

Still alive and kicking/climbing? (Or moonboarding - whatever that is?).

Not bad timing,
I’m still alive and kicking. Not training a load, between work stuff, life stuff and various illnesses and injuries.
Currently climbing when i can, and swinging kettlebells around whenever i can do it without the kids or cats around.
My plan for the near future is to train exclusively with kettlebells and pull ups and see where that can take me. I’ve got a mate who seems to be scratching around for some kind of exercise plan, so I’ll try and get him involved in some kettebells too.

Planned to do more kb work, but managed to develop and rip blood blisters on both hands, which is fun.
