Very cool of you to post your info and stir up training conversation. Everyone can benefit from frequent review of their training and find opportunities for improvement.

Train at home. I hear you.

Ray, do you keep track of weight added/subtracted on hangboard routines?

Thx

Yea, I do keep track of that for the HIT strips and the fingerboard. I removed it from the plan before I posted it since it would differ for everyone.

got my new Moon Board Thursday. sad to say I can not even pick my feet up off the mat for teh smallest crimps. on the next smallest, I can stand on one foot.

I couldn't hang on the smallest either but now I can hang on them using my lowest 3 fingers for over 10 seconds. I'll probably be able to add weight for those holds soon too. That's what's great about being consistent on it and adding weight as you move through the holds. You get to see obvious progress. It's cool to know that your fingers are getting stronger because there's no technique involved in just hanging on.

my type of training..no technique. well, I should be a good spokeperson for this board, because I am coming off a six week rehab from shoulder injury, and am now weaker than weak sauce to start. when I crush 5.10 this fall perhaps Ben Moon will give me something for free.
