Day 11. 30 mins stretching and 4 minute plank. 1 hr 10 mins on the board felt a bit jaded. Must of been yesterday’s domestic chores.

[Fiend]

Day 11. 30 mins pure oxygen suppository. 10 mins rowing warm-up, IYTs, 4:01 plank (give or take 2:01 minutes), 50 mins / 21 V1-3 indoor problems. 15 mins stretching under a very pleasant ceiling heater 

(Bouldering included some slightly less terminally dull problems than last time, and 1 (one) that I actually enjoyed, although a few where I had to back off dynamic moves that were a risk to my knee or elbow or both. Golfer's a bit sore, tennis a bit less sore. No abs doms but felt tireder than yesterday's plankathon)

[Fultonius]

sorry, I never saw the international planking rules that say heels must be free. Is that on a par with chalk or kneepads?

Free your heel, free your soul.....

[Fultonius]

I find having my heels against a wall makes it easier? No idea why!

Increased stability. One less degree of freedom, and reduced wobble side to side too. Plank Dab, back around 

Will video evidence be required for proof before the end of the month.

I'm going to contact his sponsors and get him stricken off.

Waking up this morning my back, shoulders, and abs tell me I've also been getting a significant workout lifting my wife in/out of bed/wheelchair multiple times a day over the last few days.

This is not the sort of exercise that anybody wants to find themselves doing.
I can't think of anything helpful to say, but I'm thinking about both of you.

I find having my heels against a wall makes it easier? No idea why!

I think we need introduce a new exercise of torture on a daily basis.

[Duma]

11 - routes indoors, 2.5 hrs. 2 x 1:20 plank.

72. (Humph)

[James Malloch]

9. Bit of a cop out day. Lots of walking with dog, but not much more than normal.

10. Acro class + running Physio

11. Max hangs as a test prior to training plan session tomorrow. Zora noticed a dab on my last (failed) hang. Pretty certain I didn’t dab on the previous but too knackered to bother repeating them. Going to have another tomorrow

[battery]

Totally rammed day and body feels knackered but managed to squeeze in a 35 minute walk at lunch.

Might try a plank tomorrow, see if I can get to 1 minute...

[dunnyg]

10 Last minute board sesh. 2 projects ticked and almost got the classic "rotate yo owl". Big psyche
11 Moorland mooch in the dark. Good stars.

[SA Chris]

11 - 2:10 plank - HOW used. Some kettlebells (experimenting with home made pinch block) a bit of theraband work for hips. A bit knackered after full day at work plus running the first cubs session of the year.

[Duncan Disorderly]

11: Shoulder conditioning, 2000m on rowing machine, 5 x fast pulls, 3 x circuits up to V2, 8 x moonboard problems up to 6B (mostly in the 6A - 6A+ range tbf), 2 x 4 routes up to F6b 7 mins between sets, 15 mins bouldering repeating yellows (v6-8) I'd done before and trying a new one (DNF)...

[Wellsy]

Yesterday we went to try Bumlog. Connies felt okay but after about an hour on it became apparent they weren't so sacked it off. Tried the arete to the right, worked out all the beta, then decided to fuck off home. Quality sesh.

[andy popp]

2 x 1.10 planks!!!! 1 x 30 crunches and mutliple standing push-ups. Day 18 dry.

[Fultonius]

sorry, I never saw the international planking rules that say heels must be free. Is that on a par with chalk or kneepads?

More on par with lying flat on your belly and claiming it's exercise 

I do think it means you can cheat a bit by using your shoulders to push you back into the wall, meaning your pelvic tuck / deep abs don't need to engage so much. So still, back around. 

[Fiend]

12. 45 mins injury chat / moral support with Biscuit. 1 hour / 2.8 miles kneehab walk. 1 x 2.15 plank, one heel on wall, the other not, for no reason whatsoever 

(Andy @ Process as supportive as usual. Useful info about re-recruitment after time off plus keeping consistency in rehab exercises. Knee vaguely tender so just a plain walk. Not much motivation for owt else).

[Duma]

12 - outdoor bouldering on a glorious Dartmoor, prob only an HR or so of actual climbing. 2 x 1:20 plank.

71.5

[lagerstarfish]

Day 12

Carried pads around Stanage and looked at wet rocks. There was not enough dry easy climbing for me to get enthusiastic. It was nice to be out with other people.
Went to Awesome walls to belay the middle child. Did 11 easy routes on auto belay. Felt weak and pathetic.
Not really what I had hoped for on my day off.

[webbo]

Day 12. 30 mins stretching 2 x 30 second planks, air bench 1 minute. Cycling 67+ miles 3 hrs 55 mins.

[Fiend]

Very suspicious what webbo is up to with his plankathon tactics now 

[webbo]

I did suggest we introduce a new torturous exercise on a daily basis. I’m sure you might have something that might make us want 

[Duma]

What's an air bench??

[Fiend]

I reckon webbo's working towards an air plank where it's only 1 minute but the elbows are of the ground and it's all from extreme toe tension or some ninja shit....

[SA Chris]

I do think it means you can cheat a bit by using your shoulders to push you back into the wall, meaning your pelvic tuck / deep abs don't need to engage so much. So still, back around. 

Whatever, tried with no heels on wall - 2:40. didn't feel any different.

Also headtorch run 7.4km run back from dropping car at garage. (Pit stop at ASDA for new batteries).

Kettlebells plus experimenting with home made pinch and crimp block.   

[SA Chris]

What's an air bench??

I think it's when you squat with your back against a wall, like you are sitting on a bench that isn't there.
