Climbing Training Update 2 (10/14/12)

Technical Data:
Update Date - 10/14/12
Update BW - 166.8 (99.17 % of Start)
Update PBF - 6.29 (93.05 % of Start)
Update BMI - 26.1 (99.24 % of Start)
*A Quick Note on Procedure:  I wake up in the morning, go to the bathroom, strip down to my underwear, and get on the scale. Then I use skin fold calipers to check three different pinch sites.  I check each site four times and take the average of each to enter into the appropriate calculation on this site.  Then I go to this site to do a simple BMI calculation.


Foundation Progress (One Mile Climb):
Previous Weeks (9/9 - 10/6/12) - 31 ascents
This Week (10/7 - 10/13/12) - 19 ascents
Total Progress - 50 / 110 ( 45.5% Complete)

Grade Pyramids - Greenpoint (toprope clean climbs):
5.8 (1) - 9/21
5.8 (2, 3) - 9/24
5.8 (4, 5, 6) - 9/25
5.8 (7) - 9/27
5.8 (8) - 9/28
5.9 (1) - 10/10
5.9 (2) - 10/12

Performance / Timed Routes:
Date / Location - Route / Condition / Grade / Time / Performance (time in sec. x adjusted grade)
9-26 / UWG - The Purp (TR) / Indoor / 5.8+ / Untimed / NA
9-30 / UWG - Green Holds (not clean) / Indoor / 5.9+ / Untimed / NA
10-10 / UWG - Hello Kitty (TR) / Indoor / 5.9 / 0:04:00 / 1221.6
10-10 / UWG - Crystallize (TR) / Indoor / 5.8 / 0:01:20 / 406.4
10-10 / UWG - Zebra Trout (TR) / Indoor / 5.8 / 0:01:28 / 447.04
* For a description of "adjusted grade" and more in depth performance notes see my last post

Antagonistic Muscle Training:
A1) Push Up (5 varieties) x 20
A2) Alternating Standing Push Press x 20 @ 10 lbs
5 sets
B1) Reversed Wrist Curl x 20 (ea. side) @ 5 lbs
B2) Chair Dip (feet on floor) x 10
5 sets
C1) Wrist Rotations x 10 (ea. side) @ 5 lbs
5 sets


Diet Notes:
          Adjusted "Sticky Diet" (10/12/12) - I felt that I was a bit under-fueled for my current training routine.  Rather than just say "I need to eat more", I decided to do some reallocating of my daily nutrient intake.  I have heard it recommended that you eat different amounts of different nutrients depending on the amount of training you are doing on that particular day.  I have not participated in this practice too much because it adds complication to the dieting process.  However, given my current circumstances, I need more fuel on days I am training twice a day than when I'm not training at all.  Here is your update complete with pictures.  I did add some calories to "regular" training days, but the biggest change was reallocating more fuel on Double Training Days and taking some away from Rest Days.

Training Notes:
           Recovery Week (10/7/12) - I stated in my last post that I was overtrained and needed to take a week off from training to recover before continuing further.  I did do some climbing and one light day of BJJ and a day of hiking.  Most of this was fairly mild and I continued my diet as usual.  I feel like the recovery has served me well, and I'm prepared to continue training as previously prescribed.
          Sample Microcycle (10/13/12) - I posted my current weekly schedule (microcycle) earlier, but it has been tweeked and adjusted since.  I'm still focusing on just the sheer quantity of climbs until I reach the 1 Mile goal.  After that I'll do a self evaluation and begin more specific training.  Below is my current microcycle.  Rather than list a specific grade, the workouts are assigned subjective values such as "Easy", "Moderate" (Comfortable), "Mod/Hard" (Challenging but Below Threshold), and "Hard" (Current Limit).  You will also see that I condensed my antagonistic muscle training to one day because I feel this is better suited than trying to cram it in with other sessions.
