Today was the first Friday of 2018 so I wanted to bring it in with a bang. I climbed hard today and felt really good about my workout. Here are the stats:
| Warmup | 10 pullups | |
| Training | ||
| Grade | Outcome | Points |
| V0 | ✓ | 0.5 |
| V1 | ✓ | 1 |
| V2 | ✓ | 2 |
| V3 | ✓✓✓ | 9 |
| V4 | ✓✓✓✓✓× | 21 |
| V5 | ✓✓×××× | 14 |
| TOTAL | 47.5 | |
| Cooldown | 15 pull-ups 25 pushups 15 pull-ups 15 pushups 25 ab reps |

| Recap | 13 sends, 5 failures |
2018 YTD
- 23 sends (+13)
- 7 failures (+5)
- 75 pull-ups (+40)
- 65 pushups (+40)
- 25 ab reps (+25)
Overall, I was in the gym for about an hour and a half today. Really happy to have cleared three more V4s in this session compared to my prior one, and to have sent one more V5. I had a number of failures at the end of my session (four consecutive), but I’m glad I hit the walls each time on those V5s versus picking up some easy wins with lower grades. My point total today was 47.5, a huge jump from my climb on Tuesday.
Aside from my actual climbing training, I worked in 40 pull-ups and pushups, as well as a short ab workout. I’ll aim to workout my abs once every three workouts; since I have a pretty low body-fat percentage, I don’t find working out my abs every session does much with respect to building core strength further.
