SO Now How Do You Start Training For Rock Climbing?
First rule: Whatever the specific skill you are developing during the workout, give it 100%. Your training should include specifically all the three muscle functions: Endurance, Strength, and Burst.
Endurance allows climber to climb higher and longer without getting fatigue easily. Low resistance exercises are usually carried out to improve endurance. If you want to climb over roofs, holding on to negative holds and executing stretchy moves, muscle strength should be trained.
Burst power is usually needed in dynos move. Burst training can be physically exhausting and thus it is best to understand the different exercises that can improve burst power.
Keep the same pace and intensity during your rock climbing training workout as you would during a climbing competition or real rock climbing. Keep the training plan going all year.
Continually analyze your performance and modify your workouts to target specific muscle functions.
Insert breaks into the training program to allow the body to recover fully before proceeding to next training.
The training program should keep you in better shape mentally and physically, reduce the potential for injury, and will result in higher strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity.
Increasing Aerobic Capacity improves mental and physical alertness throughout the day. There are two aerobic training methods (Circuit and Interval Training) to rock climbing.
Remember your rock climbing program should be totally customized to you. And hence the program will help you to meet the goals that you have set and stay focus on improving your weaknesses.
