Today for the first time tried climbing over 90° overhang, with partial success
It took 3 attempts to grab the first hold above the overhang with both hands and place my body horizontally
This first part turned out to be way easier than expected. So for me the focus of the first week of training in 2025 would be practicing raising straight legs while hanging (instead of raising knees)
It feels like completing this overhang with my current shape would be very hard, but still possible and worth trying

Thanks to my climbing instructor for explaining one important bit of technique!
(rotating body to raise the center of gravity while keeping the hand straight)
