This is all following a 5-8s max hang protocol.
Any reason you didn't use four?
I do most of my training four fingers 1/2 crimp. These days with what feels like a lot of added weight. Am I missing a trick in your opinion? Should I just forget about including that pinkie?
I'm always amazed how much difference the pinky makes to me in a 1/2 crimp.
Rather than add a lot of weight try hangs without it and see how much harder they feel. Or try just using one-arm with assistance.

Still, I've probably pushed the weight as far as sensible on this and would see stronger gains from diversifying.
As a complete aside and partial thread hijack, wheres the best place to get cheap weights - and what to use etc...
As a complete aside and partial thread hijack, wheres the best place to get cheap weights - and what to use etc.. At the moment I've an old backpack with all my dumbell weights and a 2l bottle of coke in it. I could keep adding liquids, but its getting a bit bulky! Trip to Decathlog and find the cheapest weights going?
my 10 second 4 finger 2 hand max hang off the 18mm BM edge is 115kgs ...but the thing that's kept me on the 4 finger 2 hand thing is it's so simple and takes just 30 minutes. Still, I've probably pushed the weight as far as sensible on this and would see stronger gains from diversifying.
If you're hanging 80% bodyweight off yourself to do your hangs then it's time to change what you do, but you know that.
pretty sure no fingerboard workout should be much more than 45 anyway.

I find the rest times I need between hangs to properly warm up ccan take nearly an houtr then do full-on weighted hangs with 5 mins rest again soak up loads of time too
When i was fingerboarding briefly last winter it would take me about 2 1/2 hours. warming up took ages and i would need massive rests onbetween reps to feel like im back to full energy

Kettle - thanks for sharing - was the two handed three finger drag your main training hang? Any reason you didn't use four? And then straight to three finger one handed. I do most of my training four fingers 1/2 crimp. These days with what feels like a lot of added weight. Am I missing a trick in your opinion? Should I just forget about including that pinkie?
Apologies for the 24hr delay in replying: I was doing a mix of hangs....
New then Decathlon or Argos
