Quote from: benpritch on July 03, 2012, 06:20:05 pmHi Sasquatch, how much weight are you adding per session, I was thinking 1-2kg. If I go 2kg per session I'll get to 70% of my body weight in 4 weeks, does this sound realistic? or should I be less ambitious?I've been adding based on what I feel I can manage and tweaking as needed. I'll add the weight and drop the reps to 3-4 for the first session of the week, then do the 5 reps the second session, then add weight again. So far it seems to be working well. My progression has been:Week 1 - +32kg = 107kg totalWeek 2 - +35kg Week 3 - +40kgWeek 4 - +43kg = 119kg totalOne thing I did find was to use total weight instead of added weight as a measurement. I've been trying to drop body weight as well, so my total weight shift has been greater than what i've added in weight....I have no idea if this is normal or not, as it's my first time through the plan. Based on what she shows on her site as results from her study, this seems to be pretty normal.

I'v also got a 4 week period to try this out, definetly interesting, Hopefully will finally be able to deadhang a campus rung after!! Is th advice to hang with only a slight bend?
dunno........Sasquatch seems to know what he's up to?
Another side effect is that my raw pulling strength is WAYYY better than ever, even as compared to when I was training wtd pull-ups. I'm doing all my hangs at about a 30 degree elbow bend (has to do with how I mounted my board - my stupidity is apparently going to have a benefit )
With respect to the larger holds (thus - as far as I can see - eliminating what rodma was talking about earlier), why half-crimped? I've done any recent hangs open, on the logic that British lime is very crimp orientated, indoor holds tend to be half-crimp-pinch orientated, and thus fingerboarding is a natural place to train open (without having to drive over to the works to get a board with pockets; probably worth mentioning at this point that my goals are generally Euro focused and thus not as crimp focused as many's).
I am always confused by what people mean by half-crimp?
Trying to keep fingers bent at 90 degrees, for me. Obviously pinky will be more stretched and open.
Can I ask (apologies if I've missed it), is there somewhere which definitively shows what she's recommending as a routine (apart from the poster nobody has)?

Do people do this locked off or straight armed? I always tend to fingerboard with varying degrees of lock but with this found it just as tricky to keep the lock as to hold on.
Her article says not to bend the arms, rotate shoulders, raise legs, start to do a planche as these are all signals that either the hold is too small or you are using too much weight.

Is th advice to hang with only a slight bend?Whoah....How are you able to deadhang a 15mm edge with 50% added body weight, but can't deadhang a campus rung?Something doesn't seem right, a 15mm edge is about the size of most small campus rungs.
