More Progress, No Training

Short and Sweet this one is.

Training for climbing is becoming huge, but many aren’t that keen to do much else other than projecting and the occasional pull ups, maybe there is another way….. This blog is for the folks who don’t want to train but still want to progress towards harder projects.

WARM UPS

Climb in a similar style to what your project is for the day, snappy precise moves? Warm up on easier climbs climbing with a snappy precise movement. In between different styles of boulders do a couple of easier ones to set your movement up for success.

IN THE GYM

If you do hit the gym focus on mobility and stability, these will often get you a lot more progress than trying to get stronger and they will also keep you a lot more injury free.

COOL DOWNS

Cool down on the wall, use this time to slowly wind down, play with a movement skill or just trying to climb better and more fluid as you warm down, your body will remember this and when you warm up next time it will be easier to get into a flow.

PLAY

The most important of all is PLAY if you are always playing with climbing, playing with movements not just trying to do things the same way everyday and having fun you will learn faster.

Enjoy :)
