Has anyone ever experimented with taking a small rest (maybe 5 days or so with one light climb in there) between phases? In particular, my fingers are feeling excessively pummeled after this round of hangboarding (almost certainly the result of doing max hangs rather than repeaters), and I'm feeling like it might make sense to give them a few days before going into the power phase. I'm not sure there'd be much of a downside, other than the fact that my first one or two power workouts might not be amazing, but I wanted to see if other folks have experimented with this and what their results were...
Thanks for your thoughts.

The more time I spend training the more I come to the conclusion that the key is being flexible with your plan without being so flexible that it changes into something unrecognizable. If your body is telling you to rest you should rest, maybe you won't need as much time as you think.

Never intentionally. I've been forced to take 3-5 days off at various times in the Strength or Power Phase without any long-term ill affects though.

I just had a really down week after finishing my HB phase due to a shoulder tweak (which seems to be improving) that occurred on my first day of power (hurt it on my last attempt at my last problem of limit bouldering). Hoping to be able to start campusing tomorrow night.

I've done it, unintentionally though, because of getting sick. It happens almost once per season, and it hasn't seemed to affect me much. If it happens, I trim my training down to the bare bones, such as warm up-campus-done or HB only without SE.
