Interestingly a noticable weakness in my left side on these - I've noticed a weakeness locking with left and reaching up with right (compared to the other way around) on my board, and with these shrugs its the first board/1 arm exercise I've noticed it on.

Careful with that, Tom. I have similar and it's getting worse, used to be a couple of kg difference, now several. Most noticable when performingexercises that isolate the shoulder more. Self diagnosis suggests possibly rotator cuff.
Was quite demoralised until I realised I had tape over my pinky split which was reducing friction a bit. Tried 24kg without tape and all OK but rather painful and no way split is going to heal doing that so sacked it off.
before seeing some rather interesting visual patterns as a classic migraine aura.
OT, but do you get the visual patterns as pre-empting a full migraine? I get visual migraines, but they never amount to anything other than that.
Su - Ilkley with dunny. Warmed up a bit at home then onto First Arete. I must have tried this 3 or 4 times before and never made much headway. Connies felt reasonable on it. Figured out the best way to hold all the holds and sussed what to do to get the right hand up to the top hold. Done a few goes later. Big psyche.

I get visual migraines, but they never amount to anything other than that.I think I've always got a full migraine after noticing an obvious aura, but I get them pretty infrequently, once every year or two, so hard to know for sure. Interestingly I don't usually get much of an interesting aura, just a blind spot in my vision, but this time was very obvious zig-zagging coloured lines. Actually might have found it rather interesting if I could have focused on it rather than rushing home!So you've never had the aura progress to any headache/nausea/etc.?
Nope, just get some "popping" and wavy effects at the peripheries of vision, but will usually disappear after a few minutes. Feels slightly disorientating when it happens, but nothing after that.

Big psyche.I try First Arete every few years, and have never figured out what to do with my feet once I'm established on those horrible crimps.
What’s with the units John? Guessing totalling 7 a week - but how do you decide a unit?
took some boomers on to my back.
W - tried some ab wheel rollouts but struggled to get the form right (all advice welcome).
Ab ripper x after. Can't say I was surprised Liam and Gollum found it easy as they are clearly super fit; I found it hard as usual!

I find the crucial part to be maintaining a locked hollow body position AKA dish shape. Worth a google if you're not familiar with it. A good cue to keep this form is tucking your tailbone under.
S - Went out to Shining Cliff. Long walk in the snow before the sun came out. Went and got pads and tried Goosecreature. Got closer and closer for a while before doing it; absolutely brilliant problem.
Tried pulling on several times from right hand on the bulb, left hand on the chip, and left heel high and couldn't suss out how to move from there.

Got closer and closer for a while before doing it; absolutely brilliant problem.Fantastic problem, one of my highlights of last year. Did you do it with the jump or the high right heel?I love a good heel and I'm terrible at jumping so I surprised myself by doing it the jump way. It was quite a hot day and I couldn't get anything out of the sloper. After only just getting my heel off in time for a couple of falls, I decided the heel was too risky without a spot.The jump still felt a bit scary without spotters - it took a few goes (and a jog back to the car to fetch an extra pad) before I could really commit and convince myself that I wasn't going to miss the pads and go over the little drop behind.

I found the sloper ok but it was mint which clearly helped. The scary move for me was going with right hand to the lip as a guppy with right heel on, then bumping it to the better flat hold above; quite blind but an amazing move. I kept the right heel on throughout until hands were sorted on sidepulls, then move it down to a toe. I dropped the top move a few times before I found the knack, including once where I managed to do the move with complete control...about 4 inches too far! What is the jump method; left hand to lip and then jump to the flatty with feet off?
Also, whats the score with parking there? I couldn't decide whether it was legit to drive down the track and park in the wood or whether the weird verge outside the house was better.
