[TobyD]

Mon Yoga and core before work, run 20-25 minutes Yoga and core after.
Tue Yoga and core before, Foundry autobelays, 18 routes 5-6c+
Wed Turbo session before work, Foundry autobelays: 21 routes 5-6c+
Thu Turbo session; Foundry, autobelays: sets of doubles (6c+/6b+) X4. 3-5 minutes between sets.
Fri Turbo session before work; 30 minute run in the evening.
Sat turbo session morning; Foundry autobelays: arms didn't really feel properly recovered from previous session
Sun Turbo session early- ish. Auto belays at the foundry, 3x (6c+ x2) 20 routes total: feeling a bit fitter and reasonably recovered.

Decent week, especially considering several long work days.  Provisionally planning a summer trip to Ceuse, desperate to get next operation out of the way as soon as possible...

Thanks Toby

11.2-4

M. Lunch Yoga. Eve  Depot steep yellow 6a+ 1x1 2x2 1x3 2x4 1x3 stricter with 10min rests between goes hoped for 3 x Quadruples but an improvement on last Monday.

T. 

W. Evening. Fingerboard Max hangs. Crimps. Matched PB of 10 sec hang on 16mm edge with +17.5kg but the time I did it before I weighed 4lbs less so all time PB in absolute terms but still nowhere near the improvements I got in drag strength. Why is that?

T.  Afternoon. Sytems board AnCap Similar performance to last week. Maybe slightly better

F.

S. Noon. Too wet for outside. Swung by Foundry and Paul was on routes. Decided to join in. Tied in for the first time in months. Wasn't to shameful given grades are though here. Did some warm ups then tried hard and got high on a 7a+ and then a 7a then dogged the marvelous black 7c up the Troll Wall (7c my arse). Good sess. Got cramp in my lats after

S. Noon. Suspect weather so went to Rivelin with Ben. Surprised not see others there. Set to work on Purple Haze 7A+. Got all the moves in the end in about 4 sections. Got a great way to do the last move - no knees! Getting quite fond of the place

Good week. Easy week next week. No one seems up for doing a Lattice test. Mina keen for Malham so going there instead on thursday. Probably have a session on Raindogs - cant imagine enough of the the Oak will be dry enough to work. Seem to be eating less each week but not losing weight. 

[Muenchener]

STG: Left leg pistol squat
MTG (Spring 2017): Redpoint 7b
LTG (<= 5 years): Redpoint 8a before I hit 60.

M: Shoulder & knee strengthening
T:   Moonboard. This was about my fifth time on a moonboard, and felt like a breakthrough session: went from barely stringing two or three moves together to being within one move of topping my first problem (Cat Attack). yyfy. Recommendations for further relatively soft 6B+'s welcomed.
W: Boulderwelt with M jnr. Light session avoiding steep crimps. KB shoulder presses afterwards.
T:
F: Moonboard. Not as good a session as Tuesday.
S: Drive to Ötztal for family holiday
S: Snowboarding

[Sasquatch]

2017 Goal: 8 of 40

M - rest/ short light cardio
T - AM FB Session - matched best ever total hanging weight, 5x +88lbs.  Then 10 MB problems 7A-7C
W - Work/Travel
T - Work/Travel
F - Boulder Outside in Gold Bar, Washington. VERY Good boulders.  After snow in AM and concern about no chance of getting out, managed to tick a 7C+/8A, a 7C+, and 7C.  Very good to get outside and see the effects of training. 
S - Skate Ski 3mi, shovel off a couple boulders in prep for March efforts
S - Skate ski 8mi

Felt rwally good to get a day in outside at a new place.  I wish the conditions had been just a bit better as many topouts were quite wet, and being solo with just 2 reg pads, many problems were just not feasible.  Pushed it way to far anyway and spent 15min on the 30ft slab topout of the second 7C+.  Not smart, but lived through it. 

Now for 5 day travel/work spell with no chance for climbing.  Trying out a portable FB to see if i can get something in...

[nai]

Light week

Mon -
Foundry - bit tired (and hungover) but warmed up surprisingly quickly after two days off. Worked a couple of L3s and the long (12 moves) red Elite problem, dabbled on Moonboard but was favouring the Wave. Did one of the L3s all bar knocking my elbow on a L1 jug while reaching for the top. Sussed all moves on the red but too tired to link.

1/2 Aerocap sesh

Yoga Stretching back home

Tue rest

Wed
AM - Garage - long warm up, created/adapted problems for 4x4 & AnPow workouts. 1/2 AnCap session with reduced rest times.
PM - 1/2 AeroCap

Thu -
AM -  Garage - 1/2 4x4 session, bit messy.
PM - Massage, remembered why I shouldn't train on the same day.
Eve - Yoga class

Fri - Cue Johnny Cash

Sat - (start of new block) Garage bouldering, worked six projects, closing in on three of them.  Shoulder weights/rehab.

Sun rest

[T_B]

M - Autobelays, warm ups then 4 sets of 5. Mainly on black 6b+ and yellow 6c.
T - Ran home. Later pm Homeboard. Good session, much better than the previous Sunday. Repeated two hardest problems.
W - London en famille museums
T - London en famille museums
F - Ran to work. Lunch, Wave. Felt a bit knackered and couldn't finish long purple/black spots. Pm Ran home.
S - PM Homeboard. Mainly put some more holds on and worked out some L2 type warm ups, as previously it was either jugs or crimps. Now have some nice draggy warm ups holds.
S - AM Run.

Managed more than I'd expected this week, but only one really good quality climbing session. Middle right finger still in the background, but not getting worse. Losing more weight and feeling weaker for it  Definitely feel like I've lost climbing focus - probably need to do some short circuits and have a longer evening session on the Wave this wk.

[Coops_13]

Been AWOL for a few weeks as resting elbow and been on a diving trip in the Pacific 

STG: Fix elbow for Swizzy
MTG: 7C
LTG: 8A

M
T: Squash
W: Physio seemed pleased with progress, gave a load of higher loading exercises to do and said to ease back into climbing
T: Elbow rehab
F: Drove to N Wales for old uni climbing club Annual Dinner
S: Carreg Hyll-drem for a couple of hours, did all the V4 up problems a few times. Took it easy on my elbow, felt fine. Afternoon sat in a Welsh pub cheering the Scots on 
S: Drove back to Birmingham to watch the England game then back to London

I'm unsure how my elbow is with the odd symptom of nerve impingement around. Going to do a couple of light indoors sessions this week to see how it reacts to steadily heavier loading.

[tomtom]

Last week can f*ck off.

On a week of climbing abstention to try and get my back feeling better...

M: To set the mood for the week.. back still aching, persistent headache and low level cold symptoms..
Tu: app based yoga stretch 30 min
We: app based yoga stretch 30 min
Th: Deadhang (short session) then Yoga class at Depot. I really enjoyed it. The highlight of my week. Too wacked to climb afterwards..
Fr: Some stretches again - still feeling shit though...

M>Fr was child free - as I was either away from home, or MrsTT and child were away. This gave ample opportunity to sleep lots. I didnt

Sa: Visitors over (wifes cousin and hyperactive - but pleasant daughter). I had to go and lie down for a couple of hours in the afternoon.

Su: Felt shit. Really shit - as if very hungover. Puked a few times, nothing would stay down. Felt better by 6-7pm but still done in. Exactly the same as I felt last Sat...

Frustrating run-down-ed-ness and weird ghost hangover symptoms (I only drank 1/2 glass wine last week) - had this checked out about a year ago by doc - load of blood tests etc.. that all came back negative. Worrying/frustrating.

Anyway, my back feels great today - so might try climbing this week....

[James Malloch]

Bit of an easier week for me after doing a bit too much on the board last week so soon after injury.

M -
T -
W -

T - City Bloc - tried the comp circuit which went pretty well. I was taking it easy so didn't try the harder things but flashed about 2/3 of the problems.

F -

S - Raven Tor. Warmed up repeating Too hard for mark leach 10+ times with different beta and then managed the campus version a number of times. Spent an hour or so trying Bens too.
First moves to the pinch were okay. Managed to get the next pocket and into the kneebar a few times but not from the start - I find it really hard to make the toe hook work.
Struggled getting my feet across once on the crimp and LH undercut but once there I find the cross through move really easy to get into the finish.
One to get back on next time I'm in the peak.
 
S - Burbage in the morning. Did remergence start second go whilst trying to get warm. Tried blind fig but got nowhere really, way too cold so went to outside café. Works in the evening - did some boulder circuits and bits on the comp wall.
Managed 1-3-5 on the campus rungs, on both sides, for the first time in years (I am terrible at campusing).
Nearly flashed the easy way up the motherboard but dropped the top hold. Did it next go and then first go when trying the symmetric version. What a good board.

No one seems up for doing a Lattice test.

Shark - are you doing this yourself or a paid assessment? I'm wanting to do it myself so would be up for it (self-assessed for now), though I can only do evenings at the moment. Thinking of getting a paid one once I've got my trip next month out of the way.

[Plattsy]

S. Noon. Suspect weather so went to Rivelin with Ben. Surprised not see others there.

Others were there just not where you were. 

[Palomides]

Better week, with added core.

M - Rest

T - Beastmaker 5B (one set). Having problems with "half crimp", feels difficult to engage fingers and keep sagging to open hand on the last couple of repetitions. I don't think I've ever really deliberately used a hold like this, I either open hand or full crimp everything. Will persevere.

W - Physio for knee (post-operation). Left leg is now visibly smaller than right. Compex and exercises. He also identified that my hamstrings are ludicrously tight, so am under strict instructions to stretch them out.

T - Beastmaker 5B (two sets). Completed - I think I've been backing off second sets a bit too much. From now on will only stop sessions if failing about half way through the 7 reps

F - Still restricted for sport, so bought a set of cheap Decathlon TRX-copy straps. Tried the Climbing.com routine. Either it's strangely unbalanced as a routine or I have extremely weak shoulders. Probably both. Exercises range from trivial to nearly- impossible for me. The first specific core training I've done in about 20 years..

S - Rest

S - Still feeling effects of suspension training! But spent an hour raking gravel and digging up edging stones (felt like training..)

[Duma]

Goals:
Good winter bouldering season,
8A (Hunters Roof? Full Power?)and 8b by next June
In shape for SA in summer.

Body Audit: Shoulder ok. Fingers: DIP joint on RH middle finger still tender, feeling ok when climbing but bit of pain after.
Sleep: Ok ish apart from Weds.
69kg.

M: TCA, they'd had a comp at the weekend so Mothership had been reset - spent session on these so pretty steep and shouldery. good session, managed all but one that I tried (~7hrs, 0dk)
T: TCA, went round the comp problems - pleased to get up them all, 2 third go. Managed the one on the Mothership that eluded me the day before too. Another good session, feeling pretty strong (~6.5hrs, 2dk)
W: nothing. (~4hrs, 1dk)
T: Was going to do comp at Bloc but M4 traffic nightmare meant 45 min commute took 4.5 hrs  (~7hrs, 4dk)
F: nothing. (~7hrs, 4dk)
S: Bloc, comp set, really good session - did all but two of the qualifiers, of those one I dropped matching the top and the other was a dirty slab which the crux of was boning screwholes in a volume. Flashed all the finals which was really happy with, but renewed frustration at the traffic on thurs... Top of DIP joint pretty tender afterwards though (~6hrs, 5dk)
S: TCA, still feeling Saturday's session so pretty easy, did a few of the new blue circuit (6's) at end of warm up, then brief attempts at the 3 I'd not tried on the mothership - 1 was ok did the moves on another but not enough beans to link, third was nails, my triceps still hurt. (~7.5hrs, 2dk)

Drank too much, and pretty annoyed at circumstances meaning I missed a couple of comps I'd have probably done well at, but feeling really good climbing wise atm.

[tommytwotone]

I actually got back into it after birth of baby #2 a few weeks ago...


M: First week back in the office proper. Shoulder massage on lunch. Painful but good.
T: Session at (new, closer to work) gym. Row, then squats, various weights. Struggled to even do 3 x 10 pullups
W: Ouch. DOMS. Back to gym on lunch for row, then deadlifts and various other weights, with bike sprints to finish.
T: Double ouch. No gym on lunch.
F: Felt a bit better but working from home so no exercise done. Put up an Ikae wardrobe on my own though.
S: Nowt.
S: Nowt apart from a long walk in the park with a grumpy 3-year-old, trying to allow other half and baby to sleep.

[36chambers]

M: lunch time circuits
T: Indoors. Climbing with a taped tip so struggled on the board. Ended up just pissing around but did do 3 sets of AnPow on the 50 at some point.
W:
T: Entertaining guests. They arrived 35 minutes early (who does that?!) so only managed 1 set on the fingerboard.
F: Made it to N. Wales for 3:20 pm, too late to check out Sheep Pen so settled for Cromlech. Managed about 20 minutes on Jerry's before being rained off. Like Tetris, I think I'm destined to never catch it on a good day.
S: Beacon. Climbed my first indoor "7C"... Ended with a good core session.
S: Fingerboarding. Having never done any isolated finger work, I thought I'd try two finger repeaters. Went with 4 sec on, 6 off, as an introductory intensity. Pockets on the BM2K just felt awkward more than anything else.   

[Dolly]

M Gym core
T Went to Burbage, which wasnt very dry. Looked up at Remeregnce roof but saw that the mist was blowing directly onto the rock. Went to Rivelin and had just over an hour before it rained properly. Decided I need a spot for the last move of Purple Haze. Shark I'm keen to go and finish it if you are sometime this week ?
W
T Couldn't get back from Brighton as trains were cancelled. God there are some brilliant places to eat all over the city. I'd be massive if I lived there.
F Had a couple of hours at the Plantation after got back from Brighton. Still can't do Zippy's. I nearly do it first or second go whenever I try it then just get worse.
S Gym core
S Road bike. Need to get some miles in before trip to Spain in a few weeks

[fried]

M-W - Nothing, left shoulder still a bit sore, tried a pull up and that wasn't happening at all.
Th - Indoors, 2h  a lot of volume, avoiding shouldery stuff
Fr -
Sa - Wanted to do a lot of easy stuff to get my feet working a bit, god knows why but I went to Apremont, played on bits and pieces, did some yellow problems, poor choice....hot too in the sun. Failed to repeat les yeux. poor start to the season, climbing nervously
Su - A bit of a cold.

[SA Chris]

Crap week

M - boulder session down the wall. Felt creaky elbows after moonboard session on Saturday, so not too full on, decided a rest is in order.
T - 5 k run to get car, weather minging
W - Nothing
T - Nothing
F - Brief play on new turbo trainer - "8 km"
S - half hour in pool while kids getting lessons actually enjoyed getting in water. Long walk

Warm up arete (6B)
Little (6C)

[nai]

Recommendations for further relatively soft 6B+'s welcomed.

Static Vacation is ok, more overgraded than sandbag.  I find the top move bunched and tricky but if you're tall enough to keep you foot on the low foothold it'd be a lot easier.

[shark]

S. Noon. Suspect weather so went to Rivelin with Ben. Surprised not see others there.

Others were there just not where you were. 

Extremely elusive if they were - I patrolled the full length of the crag.

[shark]

No one seems up for doing a Lattice test.

Just myself now. Its handy to do it in pairs as that way someone concentrates on the stopwatch whilst the other one climbs. Evenings can be a problem at the Foundry as the lattice board is more likely to be busy or booked.

My current approach is to do three hard weeks training then an easy week which includes a lattice test after two full days rest so following this schedule I'll do the next one end of March. Having said that Paul Reeve messed up the timings on the last one and this week I'm going to Malham instead.

I did wonder about evenings as I imagine it's pretty busy on it. Sounds like a sensible approach to take though and similar to myself (3 weeks and then a light week). I was hoping to do a test in mid-late march as I get back from Spain on the 18th so may get one booked in.

I'd be interested to hear how you get on at Malham and the current state of play. I've my eye on lots of things this season. Hope it's not too cold!

[Nibile]

Power Club

Mon - hill sprints x 6; boxing bag.
Tue - rest.
Wed - wanted to try my project, but got home late from work Goddammit. Hit the garage then, trap bar deadlifts (low handles) 108 kg x 3, x 5, x 5; farmer's 108 kg 25" x 2. One arm work. Front lever pulls 5 x 2. Boxing bag 10'. It's great to know that with all the new toys I can put in a great session even whit little time.
Thu - climbing class. Campus board PE, rung 6.
Fri - one foot campusing + 10 kg x 10.
Sat - was feeling strong for board climbing, but had terrible skin and was a bit tired. So did poorly. Took my vengeance doing a Litvinov, 10 x deadlift 68 kg + 1' boxing bag x 4 times. 1' farmer's. Brutal. Very satisfying.
Sun - dumbbell complex; boxing bag, combinations and final Tabata.

Strong week. I am a machine.

[the_dom]

Not a bad week, but not enough climbing..

Mon: Hike and home core

Tues: Deadlifting at lunch (up to 6 x 135) and a big hangboard session in the evening.

Wed: Went for a hike in the morning, then physio for my shoulder. After a solid hour of painful myofascial release, all I was good for in the evening was drinking champagne on the beach. Which I did.

Thurs: Woke up with shoulder feeling pain-free for the first time in ages so decided to do an early morning hangboard session. Shoulder was sore immediately thereafter. Bollocks. Lunchtime deadlifts (up to 5 x 135 - feeling tired). Too tired / sore to do anything in the PM, despite my best intentions.

Fri: Short campus session - my first in ages. Depressed at how massively weak I am after my shoulder injury. First the 2 month layoff and then the focus on climbing relatively pain-free (for the last 2 months) has meant no lock-offs etc, which means that previously trivial warmups felt maximal. Oh well, at least there's room for improvement.

Sat:Relatively unpsyched AM bouldering followed by a good hangboard session. Followed by wine, and more wine. And some more wine.

Sun: A big day out.. drinking wine and eating incredible food in Franschoek. Training? Not so much.

[webbo]

Mon. Turbo 1 hour.
Tue. Nothing
Wed. Nothing
Thu. Board just repeating not bad session. Turbo 1 hour.
Fri. Bike 75.32 miles 4 hrs 35 mins.
Sat. Nothing.
Sun. Nothing.
