How to Plan Your Climbing Training: Troubleshooting!

Late to the party but this is very interesting, I'm in a similar position to Ben (#2)

I can only make it to the wall 1*week. But have rings at home. I'll keep the specificity in mind.
I'm still too new to be able to do much fingerboard stuff, I'm also tall and heavy so while my strength is good, my relative strength isn't as much.

I see you guys place max hangs at the beginning of sessions on these training plans, but I have seen some climbers who organize max hang later in the session when the fingers have had some work/time to warm up properly. Should we really be prioritizing max hangs first? Or is there some wiggle room depending on the climber?

Ayup lads! I fit 3 rest days into my week usually Tuesday, Sat and Sun. My question is; What does a typical rest day look like to you fellas? I get really antsy if I don't have some form of workout or activity, so my typical rest days at the moment are having a gentle weights session, morning 'no hangs' in a hybrid half/chisel grip, and a wagon load of cardio to tucker me out (bike ride/hike/swim/chasing my dog about like a lunatic). Am I doing too much on my rest days to let my body recover fully? Or Do I continue doing what I'm doing because it's fun, and I don't ever feel that fatigued except for on a Wednesday.

Love this thank you 😊

Besides the point but: Why did Rab stop making that alpha direct piece!?

This is all good and all but those schedules are impossible to maintain with a daily job lmao

This was one of the most useful videos I’ve found on this (already amazing) channel 🌈

Can you guys help me do my climbing routine, i have 4 days free in week when i can climb after school

20:48 what was the goal of this plan? And what does sport climbing qualify as? Can you also elaborate on the terms ancap, aerocap?

This is really helpful guys. I am an old man of 63 :-) and at about the same stage as Ben, your second example. I am interested in whether you think people in their sixties should approach climbing training any differently from people in their twenties or thirties. I am fairly fit for my age but I think I have lost some muscle mass and seem to have a problem with stamina on overhanging sport routes.

What s&c

What can a beginner climber do in 1 hour of training?

Thank you for this Lattice training 😊

i climb 7a in t gym cosistntly i even climb some 7b's and i climed 2 7c's i just seem to not get better anymore any tips?

You guys create such excellent content. Thank you!

I would love to see a video about balancing training plans and fun climbing. I boulder at the gym 3-5 days a week, and will usually just sprinkle in some hangboarding or pull ups when I feel like it. Although I want to improve my climbing, I strongly prioritize having fun and climbing a lot. I guess I'd like to learn about the least structured way to see (moderate) climbing gains, without it feeling like a chore. Climbing is my favorite type of exercise specifically because it isn't repetitive and monotonous like many other types of exercise.

I would really like to know how you would plan archery (target not hunting) in a climber‘s plan. It is another upper body workout but as from I understand, it requires different shoulder/back muscles to work. How can I combine 2x climbing, 2x archery and strength training in my week at best?

Hi first of all thanks for the vid. Secondly I think most of the videos on yt where things are explained on the whiteboard are a bit difficult to follow. Just wanted to give some useful constructive criticism. Good points discussed

Great video! Makes me rethink my routine...
One question though regarding the 6b+ towards 7a progression. I notice that many younger/less experienced climbers turn to hang/campusboarding very quickly and I wanted to ask you if you think that is really necessary? I feel like up to 6c maybe even 7a, training specifically on a hangboard doesn't feel necessary, especially starting out, since you have a lot to learn regarding technique and movement. Hangboarding is an easy way to get injured, especially if your tendons are not used to the strain and if not done correctly... Ive been climbing almost 20 years now and noticed an incredible increase in campusboarding/maxhanging etc. especially with beginners and I'm quite sceptical that that is the right approach. But more than happy to hear your arguments/thoughts on the topic

The biggest mistake many people make when it comes to exercise in general be it bodybuilding, climbing, or athletics is that they think the training is the most important part of becoming stronger and better. RECOVERY is the most important part of any training. Proper diet, full nights rest every day, especially on off days, and some form of stretching/'active' recovery are what actually makes you more capable. The training does the damage, the recovery is what builds you back stronger.

Hi there! One thing that always confuses me is what is 1 session made of? So for example: 1x Aero Cap: is this 1 hour of Aero Cap with different workouts, or just 1 workout (1 on 1 off 20 mins)?

Great video! I'm taking a short break from climbing to weightlift and train. Climbed about 2 years at a v3 v4 level bouldering grade. Is two hangboard sessions a week adequate?

what if fb?

Is training free boulder and route climbing to exhaustion 2 days a week enough to progress through 5.12 and v6?

I didn't realize how much climbing knowledge Jason Bateman had.

Im a novice climber, v5-v6 indoor mostly. Im trying to find a plan i can follow for bouldering sessions; times per week, what to practice on the wall during sessions, intensity, rest between problems to keep improving. do you have a video explaining this? Thanks! sorry bad english.

This is one of the most helpful climbing training videos in existence.

When you guys are saying "1 session aerobic capacity" or "1 Pull up session" for the last example, what do you define as a session? Is that one full workout in the crimpd app? Hitting a certain workload?

Y'all forgot squats, bent over rows, bench press, dead lifts and toes to elbows hanging sit ups.1 armed dumbells rows in would reccommend. Pull and push strength are extremely important.

When they say mobility, does this mean the same/similar as flexibility?

Really informative video.... thanks a lot guys. Do you have any content on the specific differences between ancap and aerocap workouts if you were doing them as sport climbs or circuits?

Hi. I have a bit of a dumb question.: Should I climb 3 times a week or 4 times a week if I can? I usually feel like I need to rest 2 days in a row at least once a week. Am I resting too much? Thank you!

I mainly boulder and also currently try to get my first 7a. I usually go 3 hours climbing 3x a week. Is that too much or how long do you guys usually go?

This scares me so much, I've been climbing for half a year and projecting 6b routes now but I've never had a training plan or anything... Will I stop improving soon if I don't get started on intensive training?

Wankery.

Should I do fingerboard befor or after climbing or after at home or before at home

Amazing video!! 💪🏻

Can you recommend some good S&U exercises that are climbing related?

Thanks a lot guys!

Keep on doing this great work! ❤️

x2 speed

What’s aerocap?

This was a VERY helpful video guys!!! I'm looking for something like that for so long.. Therer are plenty of videos on youtube about Exercices or "HOW TO GET INCREDEBLY STRONG" or Pro's telling about there lifes...^^. But this seems unique!
Cheeers

Is it a good idea to focus on projects (bouldering) during the strength cycle and focus on volume (boulder+sport) for endurance and power endurance cycle?

Great video. Valuable "guidance" how to structure one's own training and what questions to ask and how to address those questions.
Thank you!!

are both of you the wide boyz?

Thanks, very interesting! After max strenght works (High load reps untill strenght start to decrease) , anaerobical hangboard mean 10/15sec reps with High volume?
Is Always recommended anaerobical hangboard After max strenght?
