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.
