Rest on Sunday
Yesterday I was a nice Sunday chilling out at home. I was quite tired, but still motivated. I could do the following as a rest day activity:
- An outdoor run: 3.67 km, 155 bpm average heart rate.
- Some easy body tension drills using the trx, and 2x2 turkish getups with a 8 kg kettlebell.
- 15 mins of light yoga before going to bed.
4x4 Training on Monday
Today, on Monday, I woke up even more tired than yesterday, but it was better as the day moved on. I went to the spray wall close to the home around 11:30 to do some 4x4 training. I quickly setup 4 easy routes which were around 5c+ - 6a interval. The routes were easy, but the training plan was a bit different than the 4x4's I tried before: Here it is:
- 1 Rep: Climbing the 4 routes without any rest in between
- 1 Set: 4 Reps without any rest in between.
So, in one set, you climb 16 routes actually. Then, you try to do 4 sets of the above sets with 5-6 minutes rest in between. This would mean climbing a total of 64 routes per session. This was the type of 4x4 recommended by Fikret, so I would like to have a go at it. The other 4x4's I tried before used harder routes, but you only climbed 4 of the routes, then rested 3-5 minutes and then done that 4 times, resulting in 16 routes in total.
This time, I could only do 3 sets (climbed 48 routes). But even that was quite a bit volume for me. I know that hard 4x4 sessions are even harder to recover from. On the other hand, I am quite motivated to go for a short outdoor bouldering session on Wednesday, so, all the plans are setup for that thing for the moment. I want to leave something in the tank for that.
