Nothing? I feel used.
T. First FB session of this 4 week cycle. Going to do 4 weeks of FB hypertrophy before power phase. Never done hypertrophy stuff on fingerboard before but from what I read, came up with this, open to criticism of this as I dunno if its right. 6 sets of 10 by 10 hangs. So 10s hang, 5s rest, 10s hang, 5s rest etc until 10 hangs are done. 6 sets gives 10min hang time overall. Rest between sets 1 and 2 was 2min and this increased by 1min every set after that. Hangs done at half crimp on an edge that is about 80% of max. Felt very much like power endurance, dunno if it should or not. Had to move to slightly bigger edge in last few reps of last 3 sets.
I also have to say that many of my shirts and fleeces don't fit my forearms anymore, for what it's worth...

Seems like too high of volume for hypertrophy to me.... 6x10 seems like too much in a single workout. I would think you would want to be doing 2 or 3x10 in a workout. This is just from reading though and no personal experience. I've never actually done directed hypertrophy training.... Maybe somebody else will chime in.
Interesting, I used to do 6 sets of 10" hangs for 10-11 holds as well. It's a lot of volume. I could be wrong but it seems to me that as soon as I cut the sets by half, my finger strength increased very much. It could be related with training everyday on the board also, but I really noticed this in the last month.

Nibile, when you halved the number of sets did you decrease the hold size/increase weight or just keep the same intensity?
Feel like I'm starting from scratch.
