Hi,
I have completed a couple of hangboard phases by now. During this time I have seen massive improvemtns to my half-crimp, and pocket pulling power. However, I have had pretty bad results in the sloper and pinch grips. In my current workout I train these hold types last, due to various reasons, discussed in many other threads in this forum, for example that i find training the sloper early in the workout wrecks the performance on the other types of holds later in the workout, due to pump.
Recently I have been experimenting in doing my edge/pocket grips on day one, and then do pinch and sloper grips on day 2, then a rest day, then back to day1. I have only completed 3 workout cycles using this method this far, but it already seems to help a bit, especially for the sloper.
Anyone else tried this?

I've never done it, but I'm really curious to see how it goes. Please let us know your results as you work through the Strength Phase.

Curious as well! I've almost finished my second HB series and I also notice that the grips at the end of the workout progress significantly less than the grips early in the workout...

Ive found one way to combat poor progression on the later grips in HB sessions is to use larger easier grips towards the end, adding lots of weight. In my first season I found that my progress on my last 2 grips - MR pocket and sloper - was terrible, but I switched the order around and put some larger edges as my last two holds, and the last two seasons ive found ive made huge progress on all holds. This also is a god send to have slightly more skin friendly holds when you feel like your finger tips have no skin left at the end of a session. I even found that I progressed more on the larger edges than when they were nearer the beginning... But this just may be accumulated strength from the first season.
I understand this approach may not suit everyone's goals, but its worked excellently for me.
