Workout Log

I haven't been in the mood to post lately, but I want to make sure I log my workouts before I forget them. I don't quite remember the order of my workouts over the past few weeks, so they will not be listed chronologically.

4x4 workout: I tried to do a 4x4 workout doing all v4s with each set. I managed to successfully do this for 3 sets. On the forth set, third route, I fell. I finished the workout with two v3s.

10 v5s: The goal was to send 10 v5s in one night. I struggled to get 7. I tried 14. I was happy with my results, but I was surprised I could not achieve 10 sends.

Threshold: I usually don't hop on routes that are past my limit for fear of injury, but I took a chance and projected some v8s in order to work on recruitment muscles. I wanted to project about 3 problems that I could only get 2-4 moves in before I fell. I would try each about 4 times. On the first 8 I managed to get the first 4 moves. On the second 8 i tried, I could link two moves at a time until the first crux. The third eight was hopeless... the beta was desperate pinpoint moves. I couldn't do one of them.
I don't know how much this workout actually helped me improve. I decided to do a hangboard workout after to feel some sense of accomplishment: 20lb belt on metolius simulator: Flat slopers 7sec on 3 sec off x 5. Medium crimp, same. Pinches on Seattle Bouldering Project system wall, same. Two finger pocket one hand--large crimp other hand (useless sets) 7 sec on 3 sec off rotating for a total of 8.

Project 7s: I got another v7 set for the recent comp held at SBP for ABS divisional. It took me a total of 7 attempts, three attempts on the day I sent it. I tried another 7 that calls for interesting movement on and around two pyramid volumes. I could get to the move before the first crux. It took me a while to figure out the beta, but now that I have it, I know I can at least get to the crux next time I come in fresh. I have some videos from this day that I'll post soon.

I think I did another pyramid workout in there somewhere. It was nothing special--starting at v2s and climbing up to one v5 and back down. Seattle got some snow recently, go I took a short break from climbing (4 days) to enjoy it. I had the pleasure to climb with my friends Darrell and James a few days after my previous post. I loved it. We all climbed very well. I managed to send three v6s that day. I also went down to Tacoma to climb at Edgeworks with Darrell. I spent most of my time on a very creative v7. I succeeded in unlocking all the moves except the last. I linked most of them together on my last attempt.
