Out of curiousity why 6 reps?
Damn, I am so jealous!!!
I'm a pretty consistent 79 kgOn an 18mm edgeThis is from memory so the 4 and 7 might be a touch off but the first and last 2 are def' rightDay Reps Added Weight (kg) %BW1 4.5 +45 57%4 5 +45 57%7 5 +47.5 60%10 6 +47.5 60%13 6 +48.5 61%16 6 +50 63%
After that I think I'll look to significantly reduce the depth of the edge (possibly to the bottom edge of the beastmaker - not sure what depth that is) and the weight - to be honest having 50kg round my waist on a harness probably isn't doing my back any good....

3-5 sets x 4-5reps x 10'' :5''/1'-3'

Have you got a link to her blog entry? it might provide some context.
b) 4 weeks of 3-4-5-5 sets of dead hangs on the smallest edge that you can hold for 10''(3) (effort level of 3) and resting 3' between sets. By the way, for the second week this would be expressed like this: 4 x 10''(3) :3'. The figure after the colon denotes the resting time.

There are two variants you can choose from:- Without added weight, using the smallest possible edge that allows you to finish the entire session.- With added weight, on larger (18-14mm) edges and with a load that allows you to carry out the whole session.I always recommend starting with the easiest and less agressive one, without added weight.
I've just done my max weight test on my 18mm edge, and I ran out of climbing gear/weight to attach to myself. Oops.So off to town tomorrow to buy some proper weights.I assume everyone is half crimping?
Can someone who has access to the Progression Training plans take a high quality photo and post the image on here? It would be good for all to have a look at the programme recommended in it's complete form.
