M2_strength · strength · 2026-05-29 to 2026-06-18
Build maximum finger strength (hangboard 2×/week at 85-90% test max) and barbell strength (heavy deadlift + squat). Reduce climbing volume; increase intensity. Per reference §1.2.1 (max hangs) and §4.2 (compound strength). L3→L4 finger strength transition — hangboard outperforms climbing-only at L3+ (ref §1.1).
Target distribution: easy 70%, moderate 15%, hard 15%

Adaptation log
2026-05-29 · M2_created
M1 archived to plans/archive/M1_base_transition.yaml. M2_strength drafted from macrocycle.yaml M2 spec + ref §1.2.1 + §4.2. M1 outcomes feeding M2: - Half-crimp 20mm max hang tested 2026-05-27: +15kg. Working weight M2 = +12.5kg. - Back squat 1RM unknown — establish via 3RM in W1 Mon. - Outdoor onsight upgraded to 6b+ (first onsight 2026-05-24). Redpoint target M2 = 6c. - Tue May 26: athlete cycled instead of planned indoor climbing (schedule deviation, no impact). - Bike fit note: back pain + hand numbness at high HR May 26. HR cap <145 until adjusted. benchmarks.yaml updated with hang test result and onsight grade bump. Interference rule: max hang (Wed) and heavy strength (Mon) never same day per §1.2. Hang 2nd session: Fri if not climbing outdoors. Deload W3 confirmed (macrocycle spec): 60% volume, intensity preserved.
2026-06-02 · W2_mon_strength_adjusted_W1_missed
W1_mon_strength (Jun 1) not completed — athlete did easy gravel ride instead. No climbing logged May 29–Jun 1 either (MTB Achenkirch May 30, gravel May 28+Jun 1). Fingers 9 days rested heading into W1_wed_hang_boulder. Garmin state Jun 2: TSB=117 (very fresh), ACWR=0.50 (low load flag), readiness=81. Adaptations: W2_mon now treats itself as first M2 strength session — DL 5×3@120kg primary (not secondary at 122.5kg), establish squat 3RM (no W1 baseline). W3 deload DL corrected from 122.5kg → 120kg (removes spurious +2.5kg assumption).
2026-06-03 · W2_fri_note_corrected_bikepacking_timing
State check Jun 3: TSB=117 (very fresh), ACWR=0.50 (low flag — expected from light W1), readiness=81 HIGH, HRV BALANCED 78ms, sleep 81-92. All §1.9 gates green. W1 was effectively transition-light: MTB May 30 (load 94), easy gravel only otherwise, strength missed Mon. Tonight is W1_wed_hang_boulder — first M2 max hang session, full go. One adaptation: W2_fri note removed ambiguous "lower intensity for bikepacking" advisory — bikepacking is Jun 13-15 (W3), not W2 weekend. With TSB=117 and readiness 81, W2_fri executes at full intensity. All other W2 sessions unchanged. Feedback inbox empty. Hang test result (+15kg max, +12.5kg working weight) already in benchmarks.yaml from Jun 2 adaptation.
2026-06-03 · W2_state_check_no_structural_changes
State check Jun 3 (fresh snapshot 11:48): TSB=96, ACWR=0.60 (low flag, normal for M2 entry), readiness=76 HIGH, HRV BALANCED 77ms, sleep 82. All §1.9 gates green. Jun 2 activities: AM — light strength session (40kg DL ×3, bent-over row ×3, wrist ext 3×15 at 6kg, 20min load 9). Antagonist/maintenance level only. NOT M2 strength block. W2_mon (Jun 8) remains first real M2 strength session (DL 5×3 @120kg). PM — W1_tue indoor climbing (83min, load 41): 5 limit routes UIAA 7-9, all vertical, all auto belay, no overhang. Forearm strain, no total exhaustion. 8/8+ understood critical move on 4th attempt. Garmin notes contain instruction feedback (see skill commit same date). Tonight W1_wed_hang_boulder: first M2 max hang. All markers green — variant A/B. W2 plan unchanged. No structural adaptations needed.
2026-06-03 · skill_instruction_quality_fixes
Source: athlete Garmin note from 2026-06-02 indoor climbing. Three feedback items addressed: 1. "4-6 attempts total or per route?" — intent is per-route, up to 4 tries, then move on. Fixed all W2_tue limit descriptions: "X routes, up to 4 tries per route." 2. "10min antagonist is not actionable" — expanded to specific exercises (ref §1.10.2) across all remaining sessions (W1_wed tonight, W2_tue, W2_wed, W3_tue, W3_wed): wrist ext 2×15, band ext rotation 2×15/side, push-ups 2×10, pull-aparts 2×15. 3. "Can concentrate on one move but not more" — confirmed one-cue principle already in plan. Simplified technique descriptions to lead with cue, stripped sub-instructions. No session structure changes — instruction clarity only.
2026-06-03 · skill_exercise_table_format
Added exercises: table structure to all remaining session variants (W1_wed–W3_wed). Each variant now has structured exercise rows: exercise / reps/time / sets / rest / notes. Descriptions trimmed to technique cue only — table carries the structured content. Renderer updated (render_html.py) to display exercise tables as HTML in the session sheet. Columns: Exercise | Reps/Time | Sets | Rest | Notes.
2026-06-05 · W2_hang_weight_locked_to_12_5kg
State Jun 5: TSB=134 (very fresh), ACWR=0.40 (low — light W1 expected), readiness=81 HIGH, HRV UNBALANCED 76ms (day 1–2, not yet 3d persistent — no intensity reduction triggered), sleep 89, RHR 40. W2 = first real load week of M2. W1_wed_hang_boulder (Jun 3) log: variant B (4 sets at +12.5kg), tendon sensation post-session (not pain). Set 5 not reached → no "add 2.5kg" progression signal per §1.2.6. Adaptations (2): 1. W2_fri_outdoor_or_hang / hang2_cycling: weight note clarified to "+12.5kg" only. Removed the "+15kg option (check log)" — ambiguous with variant B W1 result. 2. W2_wed_hang_boulder notes: replaced "check W1_wed log" with explicit rule — stay +12.5kg; advance to +15 only when all 5 W2 sets easy + tendons clear. No session structure changes. Inbox empty.
2026-06-06 · W2_mon_tue_rest_W3_weekend_outdoor_sport
Athlete-requested schedule change Jun 6: W2_mon (Jun 8): strength session → rest day. No training. W2_tue (Jun 9): limit climbing → rest day. No training. W2_wed (Jun 10): unchanged — bouldering + max hang, variant B default. Note: Mon+Tue rest means 4 days rest before Wed hang (Thu W1→Sun+Mon+Tue). Extra fresh. W3_fri (Jun 12): reduced to 60min half session (was 120min). Travel/arrival day. W3_sat (Jun 13): cycling → outdoor sport climbing. Bikepacking cancelled. Deload volume: max 2 redpoint attempts, rest aerobic. Technique: route reading §1.5.11. W3_sun (Jun 14): rest → outdoor sport climbing day 2. Skin governs hard attempts. Technique: hip-to-wall §1.5.6.
2026-06-06 · W2_thu_bw_prep_before_outdoor_trip
W2_thu (Jun 11): hard rest → light bodyweight prep session (35min). Antagonist circuit + hip mobility only. No heavy compounds. Rationale: 3 consecutive outdoor sport climbing days start Fri Jun 12 — CNS must be fresh. Variant rest available if any finger tenderness.
