Mon - see last weekTues - work/unpacking/still knackeredWed - board, handful of what used to be warm ups, marginal improvementThurs - v brief circuits on boardFri-Sun - away for mass family birthday bashNowhere near enough but all life seems to allow at the minute. This is very boring very everyone else but I'm going to try and keep it up as a motivational aid.
The Saturday deadhang session was my first after a 2 week rest after completing the initial 8 week cycle. Like Eva found in her initial study the gains had all but gone as I was back down to 20kg on the larger edge. Although I've changed my mind a couple of times on this I've decided I'm going to repeat a further 8 week cycle of maximal hangs rather than doing an intermittant strength endurance hangs cycle.
Any noticeable increase in ability on the wave etc. yet? I'm not taking the piss for once, just wondered if you're any stronger in any other context.
Still, I guess I was wasting my time ticking routes this summer when I should have been trying to hold the BM edge one-handed

Routes come and go. A BM feat lasts forever.
I swing both ways
Sport and bouldering is the opposite- I can't be bothered climbing things that I'm unlikely to struggle on apart from as a warm-up, particularly boulder problems, and it was only when I started siegeing things that these two disciplines started appealing to me.
thing I find odd is that you throw so much of yourself into a long term project, you spend time away from it thinking about how you might do it differently, planning when you might be able to get back to it, training for it, go to sleep at night running through the sequence, etc. And then you do it and that's it, it's done - whether over months, years or decades, you've poured hours of physical and emotional effort into something and you walk/skip/float away knowing you will never touch those holds, try those moves, maybe even go to that crag again. Not really on topic I guess but like I say, I find it odd.
