Unnatural Carnal Copulation

Objective: Climbing Endurance

Warm-up: Flash new problems (Int X 3, Adv X 2)

Training: 2 rounds
Traverse, 15 minutes

Notes: Easy Day. Nothing fancy, just time climbing. Focus- 1) Quick, silent feet 2) Moving quickly over difficult ground. Moving slowing on easy ground to recovery.

Elbow felt funny at the end. No pain, but faintly buzzing.

I just read an article about Jim Wendler on T-nation. He said, "Most people live and die by their one-rep max. To me, this is foolish and short sighted. If your squat goes from 225 x 6 to 225 x 9, you've gotten stronger." I feel the same way about climbing. If you measure your progress by your best redpoint, it will be a rare day when you improve. That is why I look at multiple measurements, number/difficulty of climbs in day or number of tries it takes to send a grade.
