Haha! Maybe you could start selling the flu to climbers to send there ultimate mega project hahaha!
Quick question, coming back to campusing for the first time in a year and I was thinking that the large rungs were a good place to start
I completed 1-5-7/7.5 with both arms for four sets. From this thread it looks as though I should go to smaller rungs and try for the same thing? Any advice would be helpful!

Yes, go to smaller rungs.

Quick Update, went down to smaller rungs and was successful at
Max Ladders B R4 L8 B L4 R8 With both sets progressing to 8.5 or 9
And Max bumps (B L6 L6.5 L7 or (B R6 R6.5 R7) Trying at first to distance, and working on the match (hurts my shoulders trying to match!)
The question I have is if you are building more power should I try go farther from the match and pull as far as possible from the L or R, or from the match go less far and try to effectively lock off. I am taller, so the first reach from the match is not as challenging as going less far and pulling thru to a higher rung.

I'm a little confused by your question. What do you mean by "try to effectively lock off"? If you're going for power, you want your moves to be as explosive/quick as possible, so generally locking off defeats the purpose. I like to keep my ladders as symmetric as possible, but the second move is always going to be harder (as you mentioned, sometimes even just matching the 2nd rung can be really hard). I figure the first move is a gimme and the real point of each set is the second move. I would try to keep the first move short enough that you can get the most out of the second move.

I guess what I mean is to go B L5 L5.5 L6 L6.5.
Effectively locking my right arm off farther and farther while I bump my higher hand.
Last night I tried going B L4 R6(rest, then switch). Which I think made me focus more on the higher arm, to pull farther so I can get to the next rung. I had more success at doing the previous than B L5 R7. Which I would fail latching the 7th rung on my weaker side. In your opinion is it better to go as far as possible from the match and fail more often going to the third rung or go less far from the match but have higher success in latching the third rung?

I try to progress in both ways. So I'm currently trying to do 1-3.5-6, but before I started trying that, I made sure I could consistently do 1-3.5-5.5 and 1-3-5.5. They feel pretty different, so I like trying to make progress this way...

Ya, I'm with Lundy. It's best to work both, with the ultimate goal of doing the hardest symmetric ladder you can.

With the transition should I just replace large with medium rungs and medium with smalls?

Thanks Lundy and Mark,
I thought that was the case and incorporated it into my session last week.
Thanks!
