Might be one move that's beyond me though. Miles away on the 4th.

Liam that sounds insane! Good board crushing though, so it seems to have broken you out of your slump. What are your max hang sessions like? Seems crazy to be able to manage 8 sessions in 6 days...

Been struggling with random loss of strength over the last few weeks and have decided to brute force some gains back via essentially extreme overtraining and going right to failure a lot more. This approach has worked for me before.M: bradder's board. Took me ages to get going and couldn't pull as hard as I wanted. This was the wake up call to change things up as I've felt like this for a while.T: am - max hangsPm - max hangs, board (volume)W: am - max hangs Pm - max hangs, ringsT: max hangsF: am - max hangsPm - max hangs, board. Took down a crimpy cross over project that I've been trying for 6 weeks. Then did 5 'hards' 1st try which is unheard of.S: am - max hangsPm - rings, general strength S: Board - took down another hard project in 2 tries that I thought was highly speculative when I set it weeks ago!I know on paper this looks like an injury waiting to happen but it doesn't feel like it and it's working!
So you'd do on some days 2 sessions of x8-12 max hangs? How close to maximumal are we talking? I've done stuff like 85-90% Similiar for a day or 2 before but never so much volumeDo you do the same session each time or do you have 3-4 sessions you're switching between?
Don't normally read this section but I doubt even the very elite in the world do that much max hang stuff. You do realise how max hangs work don't you and how gains are made?
Yes, I do know how they work

I bet even Ondra doesn't do so much maximal finger strength work. Id be interested to hear what Lattice think about this kind of protocol and add some science. Or even what Barrows or Stu think may be going on.
(Not an official lattice opinion)I think the recruitment theory is about right. Typically you only see maximal strength 'gains' like that if you are pretty poorly recruited to start with so it'd be interesting to understand what your training has been like for the last few months Liam (sorry, too lazy to go back through power club).I assume this isn't a long term strategy? Seems like it would work as a kickstart but with a significant risk of injury if you tried to keep it up longer term (i.e. after you hit a plateau).
