Training for Climbing Aug 31
Today I did a workout on my climbing wall. The focus was on climbing movement and anaerobic energy systems. The workout was conducted on a 45 degree overhung wall with a handcrack in the middle. The format was 4×4’s, four sets of four reps.
Set one
Jugs :40 climbing 1:30 rest
Set Two
Hand crack :40 climbing 1:30 rest
Set Three
3 second lockoff :40 climbing 1:30 rest
Set Four
Jugs :40 climbing 1:30 rest
Results:
The first two sets were easy and I felt stronger than last week. However the burn on sets three and four was setting in by the second or third rep for an intense pump. This is a great workout for developing your power endurance.
