Re-start

Well the blog diary has got neglected the past month due to my Dad falling ill and being very busy at work. However I have more time now, so here's an update.

I've been climbing again quite a bit lately, this week I've had 4 sessions up to now, all at Craggy2. With the mass of new problems that have been put up I've been down there quite a bit trying them.

Anyway back to training:

Campus boarding 1-3-5-7-9-11 and reverse on all 3 sets of rungs in under 5 minutes seems to be easy now. Even after a break.

I've also been doing a few power endurance sessions:

- 5 minutes climbing as many problems as possible(Grades V0-V5)
- 5minute rest
- Repeat first step, but on different problems.

This seems to give a good forearm pump which gradually reduces the more times you do it. In effect giving you a quicker recovery time.

Core Workout tonight (27/04/12)

- 40 press ups
- 35 leg raise crunches (Lie on back, shoulders on floor. Keep legs straight while lying on back and bring to 90' and return to floor slowly)

- 3 x 60 second leg raises while lying on stomach.

- 5 x 15 second leg raises on bar.
