Efficient Home Training for Climbing
This week, in our ninth mini episode of Ask Kris, we talked about how you can train at home efficiently, no matter what equipment you have to work with. We go through a few scenarios, ranging from a guy Kris worked with who had only a few basic pieces of equipment, all the way up to someone who has a home wall, weights, and other equipment at home.
He also gives you a few workouts you can do at home.

Freebie Home Workout
This is a circuit workout, so do all of the exercises below without rest, then rest as suggested below, then repeat. Regarding this workout, Kris told me, "My client in Europe did it this morning and said it's the hardest workout he's ever done," so, uh, have fun with this...
Home Wall: laps - 10 minutes without touching the ground (Jug holds for shake outs and rest every 2 or 3 minutes)
Push Jerk (Video): 40-90 lbs (depending on ability), 20 reps
Toes To Bar (Video): 20 reps
Hang Board Pull Ups : 10 reps on edge (size depends on ability)
Farmers Walk (Video) (with kettle bells or dumbbells) : 1 minute with 50-100% of bodyweight total. Take quick breaks if absolutely necessary.
Rest: 3-5 minutes Sets: 4-6
Enjoy!
