Training for Climbing on A Time Budget
This week, in our tenth mini Ask Kris episode, we talked about how you can train at home or in the gym on a time budget. We talk about what boulderers should focus on as opposed to route climbers, and how you can train at home or in the gym in less than an hour 2 or 3 times a week.
More Details about The Talk
- Quickie power endurance drills
- When to do circuit training
- Don't forget about abs!
- Climbing should be the focus
Freebie Home Workout
This workout is the same one I posted on the last Ask Kris episode about efficient home workouts, but I figured it's pertinent to this episode, too. So if you didn't do it last time, go get it this time!
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!
