Hangboard questions

[ChaseTomas]

What is "step up" in the hangboard log?

[Chris W]

Can you give a little more context?

[MarkAnderson]

Increasing resistance from one workout to the next.

For example, if during the second set of the second grip of the second workout you added ten pounds, and then during the second set of the second grip of the third workout you added 15 pounds, then you “stepped up.”

[ChaseTomas]

Thanks Mark. That makes more sense than what I thought. Can you clarify what all the high-priority movements are?

[MarkAnderson]

Now I need context. Are we talking SEs?

[chasetomas]

Yes SE. In the Strength Chapter, the example hangboard routines say 2-6 high priority movements. Is that just the exercises listed in that chapter?

[MarkAnderson]

That means you should select a few exercises that target your goals/ weaknesses.

[chasetomas]

Cool. That's what I thought. Thanks Mark. And in the novice season calendar example it says on day 34 it says "begin taper" could you elaborate?

[MarkAnderson]

Taper means to gradually reduce your training volume from day to day.

Now wait a second... When I thought I had understand the baseline concept I become confused again... Does that mean you keep your Baseline during a Phase the same, but you increase the loads/resistance only during the second set?

To clarify... at the start of the phase i set my baseline f.e. at 10 lbs and the first set will always be at 10 lbs during the whole phase but the increase of resistance will only always be at the second set?

f.e. (whatever grip. lets say one handed pinky mono fully crimped)
1st workout
1st set +10 lbs (which would be baseiine)
2nd set +20 lbs / successful

2nd workout
1st set +10 lbs
2nd set +25 lbs / successful

and so on?

originally i thought it would go like:

1st workout
1st set +10 lbs (which would be baseline)
2nd set +20 lbs / successful

2nd workout (setting a new baseline as last workout was successful)
1st +15 lbs (which would be the new baseline)
2nd set +25 lbs

whats correct in your opinion now?

I am sorry that this question just seems to be coming up again and again and you must feel like your talking to some dummies

Ok, no. I think I answered that question myself after going finally going through all 12 pages of the 'strength' section on the forum. I got a headache now, but I stay with my original understanding of the concept.
