Have you tried taking your right shoe off and taping up your big toe? It worked for me, and it might give you an extra few millimetres...

Missed out on the weighted deadhang shizz this week (after a stern rebuke from Messr Lee )

Surely it's the time for maximising finger strengthIndeed it is but I was planning on doing it on Sunday which would be day 4 on. This is outside the approved sequence for weighted deadhangs which requires 48hrs between sessions, I thought this meant weighted deadhang sessions not just bouldering so the rebuke was probably deserved :D

Maybe I enjoy the process of failure more That's the way you're going to do it though. Are you doing any supplementary core work? That appears to be where you report failure every session, maybe a few planks, dishes, leg raises, etc (no doubt someone's going to mention deadlifting...)? It'll only mean 20 minutes a day, easy to fit it in around cooking, working, life etc

Eva say that for optimal gains sessions should be preceded by a day of rest so that you can get the required intensity and hopefully response with 48-72hrs before the next deadhang session. These recommendations might not be relevant to Elite climbers.
