Alternate training begins

Since I am still - and will probably for a little longer - not be able get on the climber wall withouth getting into either bad trouble with my tendons I decided on alternate training methods. Therefore I came back to my small (in fact tiny) campus board, which I build some time last year when motivation caught me again.


Dawn, it was frustrating I can tell. I did not do much muscle workout during the past month and also did stick to bouldering on not so steep walls with small grimps. I realized that some of my explosive 1RM force had definitely disappeared. My plan is now to keep doing some chin ups and easy sequences (up down travelling) and static blocks with height difference. Hopefully that will bring back some force soon.

Despite the pity of having to head for something I have already been at, I still did appreciate that I realized, that I would have to do more physical training in order to improve on my grade. Sometimes you think you do everything alright - some bouldering, endurance "laps" on plastic, climbing outdoors and some core training for the body tension. And still you are missing an essential part - jumping around on jugs.

Besides this my midfinger is aching. So I stopped some finger training for a few days for better recovery to then get back on. I am still missing the finger board which I order several month ago but will probably be here in a few days (finally...).
