Volume again

at K2 with Tomas did some volume on black problems..flashed some, did some after little work, worked on some others.. not much to write about.

Back

from a short visit to Germany with Zoe. Not much done there due to Zoe getting Tonsillitis together with high fever which made for long days and short nights. Managed to get away 2x to go train though.. 1x bouldering and 1x rope. Was so-so; mostly due to trying to get to know the holds there that either were slopers or not very finger friendly crimpers.

Today was K2's turn again and T joined in. Did all new red problems I think, but 3 and some repeats of older ones. Also a quick send of a new black problem..all in all think it was around 23/4 problems that went down. T looked good on some of the black problems tried towards the end.

ufff

Off to K with T..all new Problems to play on :-D Strange session.. already felt pumped after the warm up even though one just had a 2 day rest. Could feel the core workout from yesterday as well. Managed to do nearly all red problems as well as 1 black...all in all 24 problems. If I would have rested a bit longer in between problems would have managed at least 3/4 problems more..bad pump. Again some really fun problems (as well as some really bad..). Feels like the finger starts hurting around the 18 mark of problems. Off to Germany now with Zoe ..we will see if I will be climbing on Tuesday, might rest the finger until Thursday as the week after it's time to change from Volume to a bit harder..

A bit easier

A bit of a lighter session with T and E! Started off with doing 2x 8 problems that were red, then went over to doing some singles.. red and black as well as working on some more... felt ok but in the end painful again in the left finger. Happy with some of the problems done and doing some moves.. Fun. Even more fun to see E putting in some effort...think he has the power for more if he could get more movement training in.

more Volume

this time went to K with T...ended up doing ca. 20 problems inc. 2/3 black problems and most red problems. Around 11 in 60 minutes. Went through all the angles, slab to roof. Actually fun and seems like the pump is getting better.

close to the edge

of killing one finger it seems... rest two days now and see how it feels. Did ca. 15 Problems today again... all but one red and one black flash. Next session needs to be a more relaxed one for my fingers, so no trying black or white problems (unless finger feels up for it).

Oh my God

Went to K2 for some more Volume with T...and was met with a s* load of people. Don't think I have seen that many people there before-crazy. Made it a bit hectic and stressful with such a crowd. That and that I somehow felt bad when I got there. Ended up with around 15 problems as planned.. but it was a fight!! Best effort on doing a grey that we think is somewhere between black/white.. otherwise some of the gradings upstairs could be debated, specially compared to each other. Downstairs was different again.. everything felt hard - even the red problems! Oh gosh golly Thursday will be interesting :-D

K2

together with T. Upstairs.. not much marked problemwise due to the comp but actually liked that... if it were up to me then I would leave it that way! Fun!

Ended up doing 18 problems in the range of blue to black.. maybe 4 black if we were to count it that way.. worked on some more that felt black/white..

Good tempo in the 1st hour, but then the last 30-40 min had a few longer breaks. A lot of really fun problems we thought :-D

Better

today then before even though I had less sleep and slight pain in one finger. The day ended with 4 black, 11 red and 3 blue problems... most done in 1 hour before I got to trying black problems.. Finished after 1.5 hours..

Trails

Felt hard again today..still missing endurance as well as that little bit of something...strength wise. Also still don't feel 100% yet. Worked on 2 white problems, did 2 new black problems (worked 5 more), 7 red problems and 3 blue... actually thinking of 4x4 sometimes a week...just need to find the right problems to do... we will see.

Quick go..

5min trv. warm up; 5min rest; rest inbetween1.40min: 10 (red), 1 (black), 4x blue/white in tunnel, 2 (red), 4 min trv. working high steps..Rings, Stomach..

Challening

went over to K today, long time since one had been there. Lot o people there but the problems looked and felt ok. Another thing according to Dave..climbing in front of a crowd as well as people one knows but maybe doesn't relate too well to. All these were the case today.
Felt sore in the skin and not too motivated due to work stress and lack of good sleep. One problem with the gym is that warming up is a bit of a challenge. Fun problems on the red side...12(red) problems done today..going for a lot of open hand climbing. Difficult to pull through though and felt like I was forgetting my feet a bit as well. Feels like open hand makes the fingertips more sore?
Also like Dave and others have noted..this type of training is rather challenging as temptation to try harder problems is rather big (tested one today..) ..over and out.

UFFFfffff

Quick session once again at KV in the end. Put down the rest time to 1.40 min...resulting in 6 (blue);9 (red); 1 (black); 4x blue/white in the Tunnel and then finish off with 5 (red) again. Built up a nice sweat during that time.. Then some action on the Rings. .. Time to shower... :-D

More Volume

Went to KV again and met up with some familiar faces..Can't say anything new on the red problems front though. Ended up repeating 4 (red) problems and 1 (black) and then going over to the Tunnel and new problems there..did the easiest problem 7x. Paying attention to movement, pacing and swinging. Good pump for the day. :-D

I hate to say it....Burning...

Went over to KC in Solna to get some new problems under my fingers and for the variation. Ended up with doing a total of 21 (red) problems... could have been a few more but not too bad. Not to guess then that my skin is a nice shade of Pink now .. well, it was fun though. Some very nice problems over there! :-D
