#hangboard

This is a quick benchmark I do pretty regularly, so I decided to take a video today. These five used to be all I could do, they were sloppy, and it was a big effort. Now, I can do them with ease, in strict position, with lots of control. It’s nice to be reminded that the work pays off, even if it doesn’t seem like it day to day.

Started this week off by building a free standing hangboard. It took around 8 hours and lots of head scratching, but we did a pretty good job considering neither of us have any DIY experience. It’s super sturdy and looks right at home out in the garden. Time for some major strength improvements 💪😁 In the next couple of months I’m shadowing a number of sessions at climbing centres in both Swindon and Bristol for my CWI so hopefully I’ll be able to do the assessment not long after moving down to Plymouth. I can’t wait to have this qualification so I can instruct my favourite sport all around the UK 🤗

A few sets of scapula circles and pull-ups to end a session. Going forwards feels weirdddd.

I’m on-call this week and had to deal with a 2am page, work was far too busy for a Friday (especially after interrupted sleep), had to sign closing documents on the sale of a rental property with my ex-wife, and I’m dog-sitting the reincarnation of Houdini, so getting to the gym today like I planned didn’t happen. At-home workout it is.

Three rounds:

10 second hangboard hold, 30 second rest, repeat 5x

10 TRX rows

10 TRX butterfly rows

10 TRX push-ups

10 parallette push-ups

60 foot kettlebell farmer’s carry (16kg)

10 parallette v-ups

After finishing three rounds, 30 steel mace forearm spins, both directions. The end.

Sunday is normally a rest day from working out and climbing, but I may miss tomorrow’s gym session due to a sick daughter who will probably stay home from school, so...

3 rounds of: 10 minutes rowing at a 100 calorie pace, 5 unbroken hangboard pull-ups, 10 seconds of bodyweight finger hangs, 5 unbroken hangboard pull-ups, 10 seconds of bodyweight finger hangs, 2 minutes rest.

Not a bad workout, nice to do some sustained cardio again.

How Do You Choose The Best Hangboard? - Hangboard is supplemental training equipment. Something besides climbing is supplemental preparing. Over and over again

Hangboard is supplemental training equipment. Something besides climbing is supplemental preparing. Over and over again "being in a hangboard stage" appears to provoke individuals to set climbing totally aside for later. Supplemental preparing supplements your climbing.
