I'm about to restart them treading in the 5-6 rep range, gonna kind of do what you did and attack volume before intensity.
18 V1's is a lot of ****ing climbing!
8 reps seems ok, doing them more for hypertrophy than climbing. For climbing doing heavier weighted chins might be better? I haven't done weighted chins in forever. Probably need to but I think that's what was bothering my elbows. I stupidly joined in on a pointless exercise yesterday, trying to campus a V1's with some guys I always bump into at my home gym. Felt it in my left arm afterwards. Idiot.
18 sounds like a lot, takes me about 40 minutes. Then I have the rest of my session to work on some projects.
Tried climbing this afternoon and my elbows were not having it. Probably because my hands weren't fully recovered and thus I was climbing with bent arms to make up for it. Bad decision to go but I work up so early and was bored by noon. Managed to complete just one V2 and failed a couple V3's that were doable. After each attempt I was in serious pain.
More grip/finger work is needed just have to figure out how to fit it into programming.
