Training

My training regimen for climbing is completely haphazard but seems to work. I climb indoors or out as hard as I can until my body starts to hurt so bad I can’t, literally. I don’t like to push to injury obviously, but I get pretty damn close with climbing. The thrill of seeing such tangible progression keeps it exciting.

As of late, I have been spending a lot of time on the plastic and I have seen my strength get as strong as ever. The winter months in San Luis Obispo have kept me indoors quite a bit and it has renewed my excitement with bouldering and has reawakened my shoulder injuries. This always seems to happen when pushing too hard at our local gym, slo op (www.slo-opclimbing.org).

I stay away from HIT training, campus boards, rock rings, or any other training devices. My experience has always been that it takes too large of a toll on my body. Some genetically blessed giants I am sure can benefit from it. I seem to just irritate a tendon, or pull a ligament. Actually climbing addresses the body positioning that is key to success anyways. If you can’t climb smart, it doesn’t matter how strong you are.
