honk Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 8/24/2008 Bouldering over 2h Only thing that was positive bout this session: I was able to climb for more than 2 hours and despite the fact that I didn't ice my elbows before, I had no, asolutely no elbow pain. But I failed to send a boulder just because I wasn't focused enough... Finished with some straddle frontlever negatives, slow and controlled. After all that I was so spent, that I called it a day, coming home to my flat. Weighing in @ 68kg the morning after. Time to feast on human roadkill a s*itload of food.

At one point my forearms were so pumped, that I was unable to clip. Had the rope and quickdraw in my left, just wasn't able to do anything coordinated.

Griparn Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Nice log! Cool to see other doing some bouldering. How will you train for the One Arm Chin? I'll follow your log! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Normally I'd do negative only chins. But they are so demanding, that I can't climb/boulder if I do them. So I just plug away with chins, pullups and deloaded one arm chins (not atm because they are harder on the elbows than normal chins) I will replace all chins and pullups with ropeclimbing. And if my elbows are up to it, I'll climb down hands only too. At least on some trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 9/1/2008 day 16 of 21 Deadlift 3 sets of 3 @ 110kg Deadlift Standing On 5" Box 2 sets of 10 @ 75kg a few hours later: Strict Press 12 total reps @ 45kg Chins 6 total reps @ 20kg Pullups 6 total reps @ 20kg Pullups From 20mm Ledge 12 total reps openhanded @ 20kg deload Tripes on everything. Right elbow was aching up, so I skipped the rows. Thinking about taking a few weeks of after this cycle and letting my elbow heal up. How will you train for the One Arm Chin? If I wouldn't climb, I'd actually alternalte cycles of negative only chins with cycles of normal chins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honk Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Roofclimbing is actually very safe, cause if you fall you just fall into the rope. You want to have a carefull belayer though. Falling on vertical routes can be dangerous. Falling on routes that are somewhere between vertical and horizontal is nasty.

honk Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks folks! Yes the goals in my sig, are still kinda up to date. The thing is I can't do grippers and climbing at the same time, I only have so much skin on my hands. I thought, I might be able to train grippers, if I have to take a break from climbing, but grippers do strain the bicep tendons... So all goals but grippers are still being persued. 9/2/2008 Bouldering about 2 hours but I didn't do much. Bicep tendons aching up big time, I gonna take a few days of right now.
