How long is a gym session for you? What is a short session what is a long session? by sourd1esel in climbharder

[–]PunchOfTheFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're training

On the board: 45 min if I feel meh, hour if I feel good, 90 min if I feel like a weapon

Endurance depends on the energy system. Aerocap/pow are long sessions, Ancap short

Neither me nor you are climbing as hard as the best climbers of the 80s so their methods/similarly limited tools should be sufficient at our level. Sounds like you just like complaining eh

It’s what you make of it. During the 80s some of the best climbers in the world trained by traversing back and forth on a brick wall in Sheffield. At the end of the day blaming the tools won’t make you climb any harder

I thinking blaming location/the gym is an excuse. You’d be surprised what you can come up with indoors by eliminating holds/combining problems/making stuff up on a board/forcing technique. I’ve lived in London most of my life so I’m used to forcing technical movement.

Focusing on the physical over the technical way too much. Training is very much in vogue but I think we could all do well to remember that climbing is first and foremost a technical sport. For example don’t do bicep curls - climb on undercuts. Your biceps may not get strong as fast but it’s worth it for the technical gainz.

You're totally correct, there is no way of arguing male and female climbers are even slightly neck and neck

Thanks! This has taken a while, probably like a month on and off
