I've been climbing since I was 9 ( Quit'd a while ) and start over , now I follow your trainingtips, I can feel myself become stronger , Keep up the good work!
You are absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for all the great workout ideas. I just got into climbing again in the past 6 months and am really trying to step up my level of training. I never used to be able to do pull ups or have very much upper body strength (i played soccer all of my life) and climbing has really forced me to build that and focus on balancing my strength all over. I will be following your videos, as a personal trainer as well new ideas like this will be fun to incorporate in my clients' fitness training. THANKS AGAIN :)
Thank you! Psyched to hear that you'll use some of this stuff for clients. I'm actually considering going into some form of personal training after I graduate c:
***** Definitely not everyday. Your body needs at least a full day to repair muscle fiber tears (just Google DOMS!) That's why body builders often alternate between arm, leg, and core days. Same with the grip training, especially if you want to preserve your tendons.
Galina Parfenov I know but it sounded like when you said in the summer you go climbing in the gym so because summer is when lots of climbers go outside so I thought you did not
Galina your an animal! I just started climbing. I hope it's normal that all day at work I thought about climbing and now laying in bed I'm just watching climbing videos. Climbing tomorrow, thanks for the training tips!
Im not a climber, I stumbled on this video while looking at some pullup training videos and I have one thing to say...YOUR AWESOME!!! Very inspirational video, makes me want to find a climbing gym around my area.
I got to this vid by accident, and thought it was gonna be filled with bloopers. But after watching you train, I was blown away by your stamina! Like the other guys commenting, I too was quickly singing your praise not only about your killer body, but also how effortless you do it all. And yet, you speak of your training in a matter-of-fact way and remain humble. You're the epitome of beauty, intelligence, and grace, with the common touch and the ability to still whip anybody's butt!
Excellent video training diary! It helped that you wrote out how you program things. I was MOST impressed with your double clutching on the campus board. Looks like you were made for climbing.
my favorite thing about rock climbing is how strong you can get while still looking very slender. When I first started I was worried I'd look like a body builder. You are a perfect example of this! Very beautiful yet so strong!
wow. just started climbing thought i was in good shape.. doing pullups, muscles ups and other exercises...But after seeing this i gotta step up my game thank you for the inspiration!!!!!!
That some true inspiration right there. She got my inner climber to get out and try climbing - and while I'm not practice climbing in a routine I'm trying to incorporate it in my training when I can. Hopefully I can get more into this, it is really fun! =)
Hey, thanks so much! When I was training for comp season, I would alternate a day of deadhangs/pull-ups with a day of climbing/campus rungs/rock rings, with a rest day every weekend. Right now I train and climb (1 hour training to 1 hour climbing) every other day, with a rest day every weekend. When I started out I could do 5 pull-ups, and only because I'd done gymnastics for a few years. But if you're new to climbing, I'd focus more on technique over strength training!
Don't have a training board or a pull up bar so did 80 press ups instead, will go bouldering tomorrow. Thanks for the motivation, I need to get strong !
Really great video! This is going to help me develop a workout for my university's climbing team. One thing I would like to point out is that when you perform pull-ups (uneven, frenchies, etc.), it is very important to complete the full range of motion for the exercise. Instead of stopping your downward motion before full extension, try extending all the way down before pulling back up. This will help you maintain mobility in your shoulders and lats as you progress.
I just saw some other videos from your page. Great stuff and most of what I said like the pushups etc you mentioned as I read some comments. Great send on the at V11 btw, that climb looked awesome.
Thank you for making this video! I'm training for climbing after a back injury (disc herniation) and this gives some awesome ideas on how to intensify my training routine :-)
Awesome. Thanks for the tips. I'm just getting back into climbi g and have been asking around and looking for tips but everyone is like "climb more" This is what I was looking for, thanks sis
Right now I climb every other day (power endurance and campus rungs). On the "off days" I either run, do a pulley workout, fingerboard, do antagonistic, or a combination of the four. I also do 30-60 minutes of core everyday and take rest days on weekends. You should experiment with different routines and see what works for you!
Thanks Matt. I considered doing something similar, but am not handy at all, so I never pursued it. Thanks for the proof of concept. I always appreciate less expensive, creative alternatives. :) Let us know how they work, and if you discover any necessary modifications.
Galina! I remember watching this so many years ago, you are amazing and your physique has changed so much and you just keep getting stronger and stronger! What do you think was the biggest changes you made over the years? Keep on keeping on!
I currently do a similar workout (but with more campus rungs) every other day, with breaks or endurance sessions on weekends. When I was doing this specific workout, I would alternate a day of deadhangs/pull-ups with a day of climbing/campus rungs/rock rings, with a rest day every weekend.
I've recently started climbing, and it is loads of fun, but, I have no strenght at all in my upper back and arms and can't even do one pull-up. Any tips?
Linnea Westerlund I'm by far not an expert, bad ass, climber, but I would say to you to just have fun and climb a lot. The sport itself will make you strong, specially if you Boulder. Take footwork and movement classes. Keep working on technique. That's a huge part of it. Take care not to do the hang board exercises for finger strength for at least a year because you could injure the tendons and they take forever to heal. Have fun!
Keep climbing. It'll happen over time as your body slowly adapts. You can do offset pull-ups on a weighted machine that has a pulley and weights to lighten your weight. Change the offset weight over time.
I find this wonderful. Thanks for sharing your stuff with the rest of the world. I would like to start climbing some day soon. I´ve been training bodyweight exercises for quite a bit and I have a good foundation. But maybe my bodyweight stops me from taking the decision to start no matter what...success and respect. Andrew!
great video! im always searching for female rock climbers training videos, (there are almost none), this one is the best ive ever seen! great workkkk! i wish my gym had all that training stuff
This is fantastic - it's exactly what I need to be working on to improve right now! and thanks for providing the workout summary :-) How many reps did you start out with, and how long did it take you to build up to this level of reps and duration? Thank you!
Awesome!!! For the non-climbers watching, the pull-ups and back exercises here is the easier part (Note: Easier!!! Still extremely hard!). It's the finger strength to hold on to those holds she's using without popping a tendon, that takes years to train and really impressive.
That's an awesome training regime. Any tips for people who are new to climbing and trained for sports that are nothing like it from a muscle use stand point?
Great work, young lady! I used to do some free-soloing, mostly in JTNP about 100 years ago (Rule #1: Never climb higher than you can go with a beer in one hand). Outstanding training vid!
I'm going away to college in two months... I climb now at a gym near my home, mostly bouldering. My workout consists of doing squats, and different lifts with weights. I want to utilize my four months living on campus by going to the rock gym there and really kicking ass. What kind of workout routine would you keep weekly if you could go to the gym whenever you wanted, had personal space (I usually do yoga here), and access to a multimillion dollar gym on campus?
great video .. do you have your climbing workout typed out that i can print ? if so that would be great cause i would love to try it .. any help will be appreciated.
Hey. I love your work outs. I'm going to try them this week. But do you do these work outs on days you climb? Do you climbing and then do the workouts? Do you do the work out THEN climb? You're awesome. Help me be like you!
This was impressive and motivating, great form Galina (did i spell that right?)! I want to see more. Btw the moon board is a beastmaker, the best hangboard out there...
I'm so glad I found this video! Thank you so much for posting this. I copied your workout and I have learned so much from this. I noticed though, that your 100 pull-up workout summary you listed only amount to 76. That's cool for me though, I need all the help I can get. LOL. Thanks again.
Years later and this video is still super motivating. Thanks so much for sharing this routine with us. It inspires me to work hard.
I spent my life training the lower half, and I'm pretty okay at climbing. I like your blog I wish I had group like you guys are awesome
The one arm lock offs were incredible!!
I've been climbing since I was 9 ( Quit'd a while ) and start over , now I follow your trainingtips, I can feel myself become stronger , Keep up the good work!

Galina Parfenov
Hi do you do outdoor climbing?
Elkan Duong Of course! My first time climbing was at a local crag in CT. Gym climbing is just for training (-:

I know but it sounded like when you said in the summer you go climbing in the gym so because summer is when lots of climbers go outside so I thought you did not
Great video, I like that every lock off or frenchy, your core is constantly rounded and in superb form, rare to see. Thank you for the video.
thanks! i started climbing not to long ago and you're inspiring me to continue to train everyday and it will hopefully pay off
I was not expecting much out of you, but after i saw how solid your pull ups were i was quite impressed.....nice work keep it up!
I love you, I can't even do 10 pull ups without exhausting myself and you're doing all this insane exercise ! you are AWESOME
Thank you! Training helped me progress from V6 to V9 last year, and V9 to V11 this year, if that's any motivation c:
Rescepta!
Galina Incredible¡¡¡¡ very inspiring¡ Welcome to Spain whenever you want¡¡¡¡

Daaanm that’s crazy, I don’t think anybody asked tho

Really great video Galina, fantastic strength. Wish you all the best. Looking forward to the next video. Carl.
my favorite thing about rock climbing is how strong you can get while still looking very slender. When I first started I was worried I'd look like a body builder. You are a perfect example of this! Very beautiful yet so strong!
Wow....!! Outstanding! Just started bouldering- been twice- definitely gonna incorporate what I can from your vid! Thanks! 😊

Thank you for inspiration and motivation to do harder workouts!!

Wow the best climbing training video on youtube :D thanks a lot
It's one of the most rewarding jobs in the world! I would definitely suggest it
Wow! I am brand new to climbing. Gonna try your workout and see how I do.
That was amazing! I think you just officially pushed me over the edge and made me decide that I want to take up rock climbing!
WOW!! Very impressive. You go girl!
I love this video. keep at it! btw I'm being inspired by people like you to get back into shape.
Thanks Matt. I considered doing something similar, but am not handy at all, so I never pursued it. Thanks for the proof of concept. I always appreciate less expensive, creative alternatives. :) Let us know how they work, and if you discover any necessary modifications.
Great video and a true inspiration!! I would wish I can pull myself up like you. Sharing this video in my climbing group =)
this is incredible! i started climbing 3 months ago. can't wait to buy my hangboard! :)
Great video. I like that you said you couldnt do any then after some weeks you could.
Galina! I remember watching this so many years ago, you are amazing and your physique has changed so much and you just keep getting stronger and stronger!
What do you think was the biggest changes you made over the years?
Keep on keeping on!
Great work ...really enjoyed your vid. Good luck with your climbing :)
Awesome total body strength!! Especially arms and six pack abs on the rock rings.
pretty inspiring video for training, looking forward to see your next :)
Great video! Thank you so much for this!
now this is just amazing, seriously amazing!

she's so calm. i can do a fair amount of pullups, but the struggle is blatantly obvious; my face can't remain expressionless like that.
I've recently started climbing, and it is loads of fun, but, I have no strenght at all in my upper back and arms and can't even do one pull-up. Any tips?
Dead hangs

Linnea Westerlund try climbing more I have been climbing for 3years after that you will be stronger once you get to v3 consistently try 20 pull ups
Sweet. Thanks, Galina :)
Awesome video. This should really help my training.
This is incredible.
Hey that's the gym that I go to! Gotta love CT
Impressive, thank you!
This is awesome! keep it up, your definitely an inspiration to me. how long have you been climbing?
I live half an hour away from prime climb, really awesome place!! If you're in CT, for sure check it out!!
You're a hero.
Great and inspiring video. How long have you been climbing and how old were you when you started? Thanks.
sick video and great info and quality, Have a good one!
I find this wonderful. Thanks for sharing your stuff with the rest of the world. I would like to start climbing some day soon. I´ve been training bodyweight exercises for quite a bit and I have a good foundation. But maybe my bodyweight stops me from taking the decision to start no matter what...success and respect. Andrew!
Impressive. Thx for sharing.
I was considering rock climbing, but after seeing your body I'm totally gonna do it!!
great video! im always searching for female rock climbers training videos, (there are almost none), this one is the best ive ever seen! great workkkk! i wish my gym had all that training stuff

i am a fat guy, and i admire you so much!!!!!!!!
+chinh101 Do hiking or trekking you will feel like you'r not doign exercise.
+donor soul- thank you, i will keep that in mind.
+Donor Soul Thats exactly how I feel! I like to play basketball or throwball or hike or climb better than a whole workout or going to a gym
Wow, thank you so much. this was a really great help for me.
amazing dedication and will
Do you have a PDF of your workout written out. It would be truly appreciated. Good work
you make pull ups look so easy!
Great stuff. Where could one buy something like the board she has above her door?
+Connor Anderson ebay, but they are expensive!
That's an awesome training regime. Any tips for people who are new to climbing and trained for sports that are nothing like it from a muscle use stand point?

Cant do half or even 1/10 of what you do.. Amazing. I climb a little and do some via ferattas in France.
Youre amazing. Cheers.
You are inspiring! I was wondering where you got your hangboard?? I also have a lot of other questions lol.
You are amazing young woman. I love your video! ❤️
