This new edition draws on the latest climbing research to give readers a comprehensive, evidence-based program for training smarter and climbing better.
Included are chapters on energy system training to develop greater strength, power-endurance, and aerobic endurance, with truly effective training plans for forearm flexor muscles including hangboard training protocols. How to build exceptional core strength and stabilizer training to reduce risk of shoulder injury and improve power. How to schedule weekday workouts to help, not hurt, performance when you’re climbing hard on the weekends, training tapering to create a peaking effect for a project redpoint day, roadtrip, or competition. If and how cross training can benefit climbing. How to accelerate recovery on-route, between climbings, and in between training/climbing days.
Hörst goes beyond physical training with chapters on technique and mental training, performance nutrition, accelerating recovery, and injury prevention too.
