In reply to Ally Smith:
Thanks again Ally
I hjave been AWOL for a couple of weeks as been on family holiday.
So I am going to update on the past three weeks!
Prior to be going on hols had a particuarily good week with a V7 going down and me also completing a set of routes in an area for the first time ever, by finishing off the last two problems on the panels. I also managed three of the projects I was working on.
Fingerboarding was going well also and fealt strong on one arm stuff and pullups as we did a test and I managed to do over 100 pullups in sets without too much trouble think I need to up the intensity on this by reducing hold size or off-setting etc.
Also got my weight down to 77.8kg
Then I went on holiday!! So no climbing for two weeks apart from a 2 hour stop at Font on the way back! which was not very productive, with me falling off the Marie Rose afew times before remembering it again. I tried helicoptre and Carnage but no ticks though managed a bit of progress on Carnage and feel better on the crimp.
Next week will be much attempting to get back into a routine and get back to where I was before the break!
Goals for week 387 were:
- Try to get two core sessions and 1 ring sessions. (tick)
