How to train power for climbing at home
Переглядів 1 тис.3 роки тому
With climbing walls closed again in England and everybody psyched to get strong and start their Winter training plans, I wanted to chat through one of the sessions I use at home to train pulling power for climbing, with minimal equipment (pull up bar/fingerboard and some weights) using just a simple weighted pull up. Keep an eye out for Part 2 which will look at training contact strength at hom...

Short video of me ticking Buddha Belly (7A ), which is buried in the Maes Newyddion Woods, just outside of Betws-y-Coed.
When the coach is British I shut up and listen! Thanks from 🇺🇸
Thanks. Where is the video 3 and 4?
Thanks for at great video! You have a nice explanatory style - keep it ut! I am currently climbing onsight 6b and are aiming for onsight 7a the 23.12.2023. Do you have recommendations on a climbing schedule the upcoming weeks?
I'm kind on that path....I arrived at similar conclusions so far. I'd add to the mental preparation "get friendly with the idea of spending a lot of time hanging from the rope " and "don't get frustrated, it's a hard route, you'll be struggling this time". Those are my personal biggest challenges
No. 7a has small holds and inexistence footholds. Only true heroes can climb that stuff.
Thanks man! Everything you have said is so simple, so true and so needed to be done :) "Wanting to climb hard" - 👍👍👍
Are there parts 3 and 4?
I'm ready and will I weigh 250kg and have arthritis and one lung 🫁 🙂 also I'm a paraplegic
How are you now?
@@333deejay333 lol 😆 I'm fine I'm fine I just haven't been climbing lately so I'm making excuses
Thanks for the vids on training for climbing. I have been climbing (sport climbing) for ages and have been stuck around 6c/6c+ forever (in the gym and outside, mostly around Montreal Canada, which actually has lots of very high quality climbing). I only have time to train or climb 3 times per week. So if i climb (actual “crag day”) twice, i have time only for one other “thing” (climbing in the gym, strength, power, core, whatever). I never tried a route more than 6-7 tries and never “trained” (i just “went climbing with buddies). I will start strength training now and also start trying harder / more tries on routes… we’ll see where that takes me! Thanks again, from Montreal Canada. Cheers.
nice, a lot of training sense, would apply to any grade improvement
What was gonna be the content of part 3 and 4?
I don't understand why so many climbers are so adamant about not losing bodyweight. I went from healthy to ripped maintaining strength and losing 7kg and went up 2 if not 3 quarter grades. Low hanging fruit
It’s a very slippery slope when losing weight for increased performance
It's really not unless you suffer from psychological issues. B/c you get very quick feedback - if your performance suffers it's too much.
I would like to add something to the "climb regularly/a lot"-part. for context: i am an indoor climber and trying to break into what is supposed to be 7a (grades indoors are wacky buisness and outdoor climbing need a way bigger skillset all around) i although boulder a lot for me training/climbing volume over intensity did a lot for my climbing. instead of destroying myself in a session I rather try to train to a point where I feel well enough to climb the next day, or the day after. then i would mix in weeks in which i drop the volume and focus on quality trys in less but longer sessions with good resting periods. i know that not everybody can do that hence not having the time for that much climbing, but it worked for me. maybe someone will find it helpful. key for me is to listen to your body and challenge it from time to time, but never ask to much from it. nothing costs more time and progress then an injury. good climbing to y'all!
This is a good series! Did you post parts 3 and 4?
Crystal clear👌🏻
Nice vid
Thanks man, im 14 just finished my first 6c+ on lead looking at a 7a next 👀
We want an update dude! How's the 7a going? 🙂
Why this video is a shameless plagiarism of JB Mountain Skills video that he posted a month and a half before? If you agree almost word by word with him, why don’t refer us to his video?
Jez is a good friend of mine and actually suggested this video series.
I taught him everything he knows :p 😂
Haha dude thought he was standing up for justice 🤣
MrEscuchimi you are a bad person.
@@mikenolanclimbing4299 Hi, do you plan on finishing this series?
Can anyone climb 7c?
I’d say yes, if they’re willing to put the time and effort in.
thanks for this video man! My goal for the year is sport 7A (5.12) so this is super encouraging and helpful
5.12 is more like 7A+
thanks! You are making a lot of sense, very useful. Hope your channel grows quickly.
No part 3?
Great video, my goal is a 6c now I'm around 6a... maybe start some 6b
Me too man!!
You can do it!
Very nice and helpful videos! Do you plan on producing the last parts? I’m curious to know the further advices you can give! Thank you for the content!
Yes, soon
great advices! It's interesting that I have been doing a very similar training routine in the last 1.5 years: bouldering, pull up bar, core, hangboard, cardio etc. Have to say that I am yet to reach 7a. have been climbing for 2 years. I guess I need to be patient ))) the progression is there though!
Good series, we want part 3 :-)
On it's way! I'm in Spain for the Winter climbing. Back in a few weeks so I'll film part 3 on my return. Thanks for the kind feedback! :-)
@@mikenolanclimbing4299 Then best conditions to you! We have quite some winter in Germany right now.
Good advice, thanks!
No problem!
you're an excellent teacher!! i can't wait to put all these learnings into practice and climb those routes. Thank you from Argentina. And i'm waiting for next part.
You're very welcome!
I wanna see part 3! Good video man
On it's way! I'm in Spain for the Winter climbing. Back in a few weeks so I'll film part 3 on my return. Thanks!
@@mikenolanclimbing4299is everything alright? Been 3 years!
I’ll definitely be trying this!! Just need a beast maker first 😉
Excellent video!!
Thank you very much!
Great video !! Came here from Facebook
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, very solid tips to work on. I personally find useful to balance my training between specific and kind of boring drills and more fancy, more complex and whole movements that makes me actually *want* to train. I'm new in the climbing world, so I don't really know if there are drills that can be "playful" but I find it to be more interesting for my bodymind to have a conclusion of something somewhat more yummy of just sit ups and the like. Kepp it up, your contents are really enjoyable :)
Great tip!
Great advices, one small note, but it doesn't really matter: 7a is actually 5.11d, 7a+ is 5.12a
and X- in UIAA... there are rarely any routes in our climbing gyms here with that grad! o.O
or is he talking about french 7a, which would be VIII ?
Thanks for this videos !!! Help me.a lot
good to hear you talking about resting - this is so overlooked!
Resting is key on both a larger scale and on a smaller scale. Large scale : Rest days from training Small scale : Finding the strategic rest positions on the route (almost all routes have them)
It really is!
I would say if you wanna keep it on the budget theraband, pull up resistance band (you could do lots with them, you dont even need weights) and picnch block for finger strenght and endurance.
@@mikenolanclimbing4299 It's right but when you limited with equipment and space it might be the best solution. Thnx
Useful and solid tips. The only thing that I would consider adding to this info would be that, while using 70% of your 1RM, to ADD VELOCITY to the pull itself. This means to set your intention for each repetition to pull as fast and hard as possible is a key element to increasing power. Eventually, you will power down by the 4th or 5th set. This method is shown to add that "SNAPPY" aspect to your climbing after adequate rest and being consistent with the work done. Also, I wouldn't recommend doing this method for more than 2 weeks depending on how old one's "training age" is. More is not better...more is just more. Happy training!
@@mikenolanclimbing4299 Hey hey! First off, my BAD for missing that entire section of info on the "intent of pulling". Foolish of me to comment without realizing my mistake. Moving forward, lol... Normally, the prescription of only "2 weeks" is due to the individuals TRAINING AGE. If they are just starting to train for the first time or even 0-6 months, I wouldn't have much more than the 2 weeks. This is because they are likely still becoming "powerful" from LIMIT BOULDERING, which defaults to most 'new' climbers/trainees. It's really just a way to keep them psyched and as far from injury as possible. Newer climbers'/trainees' minds can..."wonder". The need to stay busy is an itch that they have trouble scratching with 3-4 weeks of one method. I've found that it can become mind-numbing. Personal experience and preference, really. Nothing more. Unless, you're finishing up a BLOCK style PERIODIZATION. Then I would say: -3 weeks of work capacity -2-3 weeks of strength -2 weeks of power -8-14 days of performance -Repeat. One of my favorite ways to maintain power with limited equipment is a kettlebell. Though, I hear that they are hard to come by these days, lol. Happy Training!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge dude 💪🏻subscribed!
