Hard

session again, well not really that hard...but felt hard in the body. Feel sore and weak in muscles and have joint pain.. 2 days of rest now and will see how I feel Wednesday. Otherwise ok session, did a 5 min warm up then black problems, in total 5 of the new black problems went down flash or quickly (Goal was 7/10 in hardness,maybe a 8/10? ). Close to some more but time and body were against me this time. Overall happy with the session.

Medium Session

was the plan...not much stress...5 min rest between each problem. Warm up with a few blue and red problems then over to the main part..ended up doing 10 black problems, some repeats, some new ones,flash, and others after a few tries. Maybe a bit harder then I planned but felt ok over and all like not too much..7/10

Back to training

again on plastic. After we planned to go to KV we ended up going to K2 as there was a fire alarm when we got there and nobody knew how long it would go on for. Well, 8 minutes later we were at K2. Did a nice short warm up and slowly proceeded into today goal of a moderate Session of 10-15 move problems. Actually managed to get pumped rather quick, but tried to push through anyway. Was a fun session and got to see all of the new Problems there as well.

Same as last time

Too much too hard again..was supposed to be a relaxing easy session with only red and blue..but ended up trying black and white... :-(.. what to do... with the power I have at the moment it sure will be an interesting trip...leaving in 4 days..

Systemboard

need something to start me off when doing these late sessions, hard to get motivated. Good structured session with warm up and breaks etc. System board again, new problems up as well. Still hard though and compared with the company I had, clearly need to get stronger..well gotta keep on trying right?

In & Out

early morning,work,quick session at K and off to Alvesta now. Ok, its been a while due to big over training symptoms,basically the last sessions have been too intense and recuperation time too little! Not good! Specially so close to the trip. So a quick session today for that & travelling. Actually felt ok, more like the other sessions should have been..30 min warm up then 45 min really max. Had a go at 3 white problems that I deemed to be more outdoor granite like.Could do the first moves on all but got shut down in the middle. Fun session really. So ca. 5 sessions to go before leaving, 1/2 hard ones before tapering. Then we will see how this project paid off. I have learnt a lot through this and will give it another try after Easter however with some changes.

Hård B

Went for a session at K with B. Ok warm up I thought. Did a white 2nd go,not white. Worked on some more, but the session turned more into a power than strength session...tried more black problems of which a lot didn't really feel like black problems. Seems to be some problems with marking problems there specially in the red/black area. Also noticed that more then in the other gyms the use of thumb power is more predominant on problems here. Fun...looking forward to the next system wall session.

Hard

session today, feel the last session in my body and fingers. Some traversing, some easy problems then up to the system board. 3 problems to work at...really wanted to work Pś problem, but too long fingernails as well as poor power gave that an end. Ok session anyway ..cooling off by nearly flashing 2 new black problems.

Stressed but fun

again a stressful day at work etc. First strength session at KV's system board, with respect giving company (St,Bo,He&Jo). It was awesome to see what problems they pulled on,while I was trying to just get up the thing. Did my 3x3 thing and finished off with some light campus and nearly flashing a black problem. As usual, fell in love with this type of training, specially after having found problems that just might be possible....

burnt again

The competition is getting tougher, but even though I rested 3 days no go. Felt once again tiered and my core was not up to it. Not all was bad though..flashed 2 black problems and managed to work out the 1st crux move on the white problem from last time. Even was happy with the other problems tested even though I did not do them it felt ok. Now it's over to the strength part (even though I think I did the power part wrong)...we will see 3 weeks left before we are off.. :-D

Getting burnt

by mr.T today. K2 again,nice problems and a lot of them. Was totally unmotivated and nearly called it off. Session was ok in the end..1 black done though tried 7. Found some new favorits..amongst which 1 white we tried. Felt good afterwards...and happy with the session anyway, even found my forgotten waterbottel (meaning 2 things: they didn't clean well since sunday and the guy I talked to on the phone didn't actually look for it either..)

Getting harder

Guess yesterday took out some energy being worried about ones relatives in Chile etc. Still felt sore from last time. Went to K2 again.. now close to no one was there. Already felt during the warm up that my arms and muscles would be fighting today. Total ended up with 2 black problems and some ok tries on some more.. might need a longer rest too be able to come back fresh to some problems. Then again I have been fighting against a on setting cold/flue since thursday so could have something to do with that. Keeping on trucking...

I want more

out of myself! Ok did not feel the right motivation or will today, felt tiered in mind and body. Maybe the change of training is getting to me? Did only 1 black today and tried some new problems of which all felt hard. The only thing that felt good was that I came to a highpoint on one of the ones I think are white not black (that is for me at least). We will see where this will lead ...
:-D

A bit better

Went to K2 this time. Fun place..just trying some problems, felt rather weak and powerless,maybe the short warm up? Anyway: did 4 black problems and worked on 2 more black problems that are really white. Interesting that on another black that I nearly did 2nd go last time (didn't dare do the last move) I had no chance on today--strange. Fun session with more Power orientation.

New problems

Off to KV for some new Problems. Mr.T, B, and good to see you again E! Usual warm up before going off on the black problems. Again difficult to control the urge to try them all.. End up doing to black problems and trying several others.. most ?? got the black under the Tunnel..hard. After that a little session of dead hangs and rings upstairs. Fun session... closing in on the power part.. :-D

Changes & K2

Have done some more research on the topic and it turns out that the "shocking" of the system is recommended when doing at least 6 weeks of Hypertrophy. However I don´t really have that time..so a change again and instead going over to doing power.. ie. little more campus, doing black problems etc.
So where did I go.. went to the new K2 as Mr.T was going to be there although only for a short time. Turned out much bigger then I thought and overall nice to look at. After a way to short / quick warm up (excited about the problems and catching up with Mr.T who had been there 1 hour)..one quickly noticed a few things: the mats are way to stiff and falling from the top of a problem can be a shock to the system! It doesn´t help that the hight of the boulders is in general higher then at the other gyms. So when going there make sure you have a spotter and one of the smaller, softer pads underneath you!The structure is still very rough which is bad on the rubber but good when trying to solve some foot heavy problems. The holds are also rough on the hands but not too bad.
So how did it go? Well, so-so, like mentioned before the warm up sub optimal, managed to flash 1 black as well as doing another 2nd go. Close to a 3rd 2nd go but chickend out as it was the last move and i didn´t want to fall on the hard pads. Close on 2 more blacks .. further away on others, but as usual at a new place it´s hard to concentrate on what one should be doing to trying everything there is that looks good... More discipline next time as Easter is getting closer :-D

Shock the system!

Ok. According to T. Bompa it is benifficial to break up the Hypertophy period with a "Shock to the system and have a real training session.. Went o KC with B and got to work on some black problems. Ended up doing 2 and worked on several others that felt possible (some maybe in a while) .. Due to be being Dead in my body from Fridays session and doing a 1 hr KB session yesterday, I will repeat that thought and have a another "Shock" session on Wednesday before returning to more Hypertrophy. :-D

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
