Minimum Wage is a Gateway Drug

Objective : Climbing Power Endurance

Warm-up : assorted dead hangs and pull-ups throughout the day

Training :
(1) 15s on / 15 rest, 6 rounds per grip, rest 3 minutes between grips

Grips
Open hand (top sloper, hard side)
Two finger (middle pocket, easy side)
Full crimp (middle edge, easy side)

rest 10 minutes

(2) 1 minute, continuously moving on hangboard
1.5 minute rest
4 rounds

This is my experiment with training devices. It is two Pusher system tiles mounted on over a doorway. It is temporary until I build the complete system board. I have a mild obession with Pusher because they have great products. I don't see other hold companies picking up where they left off in terms of building training products for climbing. The system tiles can spin 360 degrees because they are mounted on t-nuts. The options are only limited by my imagination.

Notes : Left middle finger feels tweaky from the monos yesterday. My body needs a longer warm-up (like today's). I can tell I have work/rest ratio dialed-in when I don't want to get back on but can physically finish. Workouts that build mental toughness. I got the "1 minute, continuously moving on hangboard" from Mountain Athlete. It kicks my ass every time. My goal is 2 minutes on/ 2 minute rest / 3 rounds by the end of Febuary. Do work!!
