In this new format you will find specific exercises to improve your overall fitness and strength.
Information for completing online climbing training
How is online climbing training organized?
We differentiate between physical factors (strength, endurance and general physical ability) and technique as an efficiency factor.
Within each tab you will find training proposals with specific and competitive methods, that is, by scaling up.
We have currently published the tabs for strength, general physique, endurance, and technique.
Should I choose strength or endurance training?
Everything will depend on the training experience and objectives whatever you set your mind to.
If in a single session you are able to include content from strength and endurance, and notice improvement After a few days, in both qualities, continue to include both in the session, always performing strength training before endurance training.
If, on the other hand, you notice certain stagnation in some quality If you find that it's a limiting factor in your climbing, dedicate more time to improving the identified deficiency, reducing the time spent training other qualities that are not limiting you at that moment.
What does the number in parentheses mean in the series? Ex: 8(18)
We define the Effort Character (EC) as “the relationship between the repetitions performed (those we perform) and the possible ones (those we could perform in a hypothetical case)” (González-Badillo & Ribas Serna, 2002).
In other words, if we can do 18 repetitions (reaching muscle failure on the 18th repetition) and we only do 8, we are meeting an effort level of 8(18), meaning 8 repetitions performed out of a hypothetically possible 18 repetitions. In this case, we would be leaving 10 repetitions unfinished before reaching failure.
How to understand the terminology of climbing training?
Can I do suspensions/campus courses?
- If you have been training and climbing regularly for more than two years, about 2-3 days a week.
- If you are over 13 years old if you are a girl and 15 if you are a boy
- if you don't have any contraindicating injuries
- If you can stand on a 25mm power strip for more than 20 seconds (if you try it, heat it up properly first by hanging it on a larger power strip).
What should I train first?
It all depends on which aspect you prefer to improve, but be careful! If one of your goals is to improve strength, it's best to introduce it at the beginning of your session with a good warm-up, as you'll want to be rested for the training to be effective.
