    Great video! Quick question, can you do endurance training at the end of a session (like after finger board, boulder and power endurance circuits) and provided of course you’re not completely destroyed? Or should the endurance training be its own separate session?

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  14 дней назад +7

      Potentially. Really depends on your work capacity and overall recovery ability. What you do not want is for the endurance training to negatively affect strength. If you're not getting stronger/better in that part of your session over time, additional endurance might not be wise. That being said, very low intensity aerobic training can be a useful recovery mode...as long as you keep it LOW!

    Super interesting! Thanks for the video :)) quick question: when programming something like this, say at 3mins and 90s rest say for 5 reps for a 22ish minute session, would you rather add time to the climbing, add another rep, or take a longer rest and do a second set of 5?

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  10 дней назад +1

      Good question. In general, aerobic training responds best to more overall time working. At the same time, we need to assure we are still climbing efficiently and not digging too deep. To progress from 5x 180:90, you might first go to 3x 180:90, rest 5 minutes, then do another 3x 180:90. From there we can work up to two full sets of 5x 180:90. Over time, longer bouts of climbing, going to 4 min, 5 min, etc. will make sense and make for more time-efficient sessions.

    Don't you think a good way to train specific endurance is to have a multi angled spray wall and just create circuits that replicate the energy system demands of one's target goals.So for a physical 80 ft route in the Red it might be sprinting between shakeouts then a crux by the chains.So you'd have a link up that would push your recovery and sprinting abilities on the same exercise.

      That would be awesome. So much you can do with a private spray wall, but unfortunately many of us don't have that resource!

    Thanks for another great vid Steve! Just to clarify, are the three sesions you ouline different flavours of achivieving the same thing, so fatigue / pump level (or absence of!) Should be about the same for each? Ao can pick and choose which I do deoending on preference / facilities. Thanks again.

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  9 дней назад

      For the most part, yes. The various sessions are more about what's available to you rather than specific training aims. Look to get the intensity and total duration right, and the rest is pretty flexible.

    Another question that interests me a lot and I have not been able to clarify it for a long time.
    How can you find out which energy system is lacking, the anaerobic one or the aerobic energy system?

  • @tomstavert2690
    @tomstavert2690 13 дней назад

    For route 4x4s, what length of route is best for this? I imagine you could increase the total number of pitches climbed if you only have shorter routes available (or decrease if you have access to longer routes).

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  12 дней назад

      This ends up being very goal specific, but to start I'd suggest doing a whole phase of these on the same length of route / number of moves. This way you can manipulate the difficulty of the climbing without having random durations thrown into the mix. Totally flexible, too, i.e. if your routes are 50M, maybe doubles are better!

    I'd love to do more route 4x4. But in at the gym it feels so inconsiderate to hog routes for so long. What is your take on off the wall ARC training (aka cARCing of lattice fame)?

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  14 дней назад

      More low-intensity muscular endurance work is generally good for climbers, but isolated endurance might not bring the adaptations we're looking for. It will be interesting to see if high volume gripping plays out for anyone who's really gone all-in on it. We do like intervals with a mobile hangboard attached to a rowing machine, or other creative modes of work. Even a general endurance grip workout integrated with some more total body exercise could work. And yet...being inconsiderate might still be the best option!

    Great vid! but theres something I still don't understand:
    When climbing my project after 5 minutes, I get super pumped. There, my blood flow is mega restricted and therefore I undestand there is very little blood getting in and out of it. I guess my forearm soon starts to run out of oxygen and so, what is the main methbolic system delivering energy?
    If the alactic energy system is out of phosphocreatine stock and blood can not get in my forearm, is it the glycolitic?

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  10 дней назад

      There are 3 main limiters in endurance, whether aerobic or anaerobic. The first is UPTAKE, the ability to breathe fully and get oxygen into the blood. This can be a problem if you are holding breath, shallow breathing, etc. Second is DELIVERY, where you either don't have the blood network or you are occluding bloodflow (as you suggest above). Third is UTILIZATION, where once the blood is delivered to the muscles, the local endurance is not well trained, or the energy supply is of issue. You are probably climbing slightly above your aerobic ability on the project, and simply can't keep the intensity up because too much of the energy is being derived from the glycolytic system. More low-intensity volume will help, but I'd also make sure to focus on solid breathing and climbing very relaxed and loose. You'll get there.

    Hey Steve, I was wondering if monitoring heart rate would be useful while doing this? I mean runners basically don't do their sport without it. Would the same rules apply for climbing?

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  10 дней назад

      That would be awesome, and a lot of climbers have tried this out. The biggest issue is that our sport is "acyclic," meaning the outputs are not at regular intervals and intensities the way that rowing or running or cycling can be. Secondarily, one of the big limiters is local muscular endurance in the arms, which has little effect on the heart rate. A fun test is to monitor heart rate while burning out on finger rolls with a barbell. Heart stays pretty steady while the forearms die... I do like HR as a general marker for when we are working below the Aerobic Threshold. On route 4x4s and nonspecific circuits, making sure we stay somewhere south of 180BPM minus age is another good indicator (in addition to conversational intensity and feeling of no pump).

    for the 20x boulders is it better to go for overhang with good holds or for more vertical wall with smaller to crimpy boulders? Just wondering if endurence differs in forearm and fingers fatique

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  10 дней назад

      Two paths: 1. Train specifically for your project, home area, or personal limiter. or 2. Do a wide variety of boulders and try to build a wide base of fitness. Neither is necessarily "better," but you should pick one and run it for a whole training cycle of 8-12 sessions.

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  14 дней назад

      The concept of low intensity training done to develop endurance is pretty well researched. Most specific training protocols applied to climbing are not. For most of us, a best guess is a good place to start.

    I have been doing Olli Torr’s ‘CARCING’ routine for 4 months now. Racking up 2 hrs per week. I’ve seen massive improvements in my aerobic endurance. What is your point of view on this? Do I need to do any more or is this sufficient? Thanks!

    • @ClimbStrongTV

    I don't get why the intensity has to be that low. Let's say I do 15 pitches in the gym in a day. What is the harm of 3-4 pitches being harder, where you have to shake out and have to breathe heavy? It shouldn't matter because you still get the volume and actually have fun while training.

    • @michamoin1022
      @michamoin1022 14 дней назад +1

      As far as i know, the problem with that is that with a higher intensity, you target the anaerobic energysystem (power endurance). Getting pumped is an indicator of your anaerobic energysystem getting tired and therefore you don't get those advantages of training the aerobic energysystem.

    • @ClimbStrongTV
      @ClimbStrongTV  14 дней назад +1

      @@michamoin1022 This is the idea. Main thing here is that trying to train the more intense energy systems at the same time as trying to develop aerobic endurance is hard to recover from, and the goal is slightly different. We look at this training as developing the ability to AVOID getting fatigued on climbs, where getting pumped develops the ability to HANDLE climbing in a fatigued state.
