Tuesday 4-01-09, Gym climbing, strength focus
————————————
Warm up (10-15 minutes ARC work)
Campusing – I did two sets (3 laps each), and realized my pulling muscles (back and bi) were still fatigued from the day before are were going long before my fingers – so I switches to the hangboard after that.
Two sets there, 6repeats of 10 second hangs per set. Then 1.5 hours threshold bouldering.
Wed 4-02-09, Gym based work capacity (HIIT style)

5x Goblet Squat (95lbs dumbell, standing on blocks to get full ROM)

~45seconds work per set, 1:00 rest

5x Bench Press (115lbs)
5x dips
5x clapping push ups
1:00 rest
Cool down: 1000m row in 5:00
Notes: I have a bit of a strength imbalance and really need to spend a little more time benching. If one looks at the compiled strength standards, I’m solidly between “intermediate” and “advanced” on most of my lifts, but my bench is a nagging point. While this is understandable – since pulling is generally more useful to me than pushing, it’s not something I want to completely ignore.
Thur 4-02-09, gym climbing (power endurance focus)
————————————
Warm up
1.5 hour threshold bouldering
4*3 power endurance laps (2:30 on, 2:30 rest 1/1 work rest)
Friday 4-03-09, rest day
————————————
I really really needed this this week.
Saturday and Sunday 4/4 – 4/5 (Climbed at the NRG)
————————————
Climbed at the New River Gorge. I only ended up doing sport this weekend, didn’t get the trad rack out.
This was the payoff for the last few months though – this season appear to be starting on a much better note than any previous one.
The more focused work seems to be really paying off.
