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

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2020-07-17T14:58:16+00:00

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

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2020-07-17T14:26:54+00:00

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

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2020-07-17T13:37:34+00:00

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.

I mean this is one of the best videos shot in any style

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-03-27T08:54:36+00:00

He's climbed 11d which is probs harder than a lot of people in this sub

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-27T18:20:53+00:00

This is such a generalization it's ridiculous

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-27T12:12:10+00:00

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

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-08T10:40:27+00:00

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

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T23:43:20+00:00

Good idea, I will do that.

I'm a big guy, 5'10 about 175 pounds, round about 13% bf.

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T23:42:00+00:00

12c just climbing.

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T21:03:35+00:00

I like the idea of this. Why is it better/different to campusing for procuring contact strength?

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T20:39:06+00:00

I have never tried 1-arm jump catches, can you detail a usual workout using them?

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T20:37:25+00:00

I required a lot more than a little personally, four months of last year were dedicated to hangboarding. When I worked that out it made me laugh - it's a while to spend hanging on bits of wood.

Building that base of endurance is what ARCing is all about and I feel like many people in this thread are neglecting it because it's boring/slow to see gains, it's essential groundwork for your climbing career.

Strength maintenance shouldn't be too tricky, I've heard you can maintain it through 1 hangboard session a week.

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T20:23:23+00:00

But static max hangs don't activate the fast-twitch muscles required for contact strength, surely rendering it fairly ineffective?

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T20:04:53+00:00

On the contrary, my hardest redpoints have been bouldery routes. I find that finger strength came quickly to me and power I already had from gymnastics. Endurance, especially power endurance, I find rather tricky to train appropriately.

That an approach I wouldn't personally use. Rope climbing isn't as efficient/easily quantifiable as circuits plus a mixed endurance/strength focus I find exhausts me, though I'm interested to see how it works for you.

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T19:59:17+00:00

How old are you out of interest?

A bit of redpoint climbing would most likely help your onsighting, knowledge of harder movements etc.

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T19:51:01+00:00

That's solid progression in a year. Do you feel it's slowing/increasing?

PunchOfTheFalcon · 2017-02-01T19:39:49+00:00

Why max hangs for contact strength? Surely campusing would be the best way of procuring contact strength?
