Training week 3

Deadpoint is only weeks away if you haven’t registered yet you should do it soon. With being two weeks out it’s time to train some power-endurance building stamina and putting the previous weeks together. We spent the first week gaining forearm strength from endurance and last week building finger strength from power. Now the idea is to be able to make powerful moves for 1-5 min being able to hang on through those crux moves.

Power-endurance:
Make sure to get a good warm-up
Find four problems just at your level or below. Best to have varying terrain (vertical, slight over-hung, and the cave)
Do 4x4’s with 3-4 min rest between each set.
4x4 doing for problems consecutively with no rest in between; repeating 4 times
Link ups same as 4x4 but stay on the wall for all four problems rest 3-4 min.

General Strength:
Core
Systems board working lock-off and grip/ open hand strength (pinches and slopers)
Campus board
Hang board

Once again stay hydrated through out the work-out and refuel in the first 30 min. after to help with proper recovery. If you have questions feel free to ask the friendly Front staff. Get ready to pull down at Deadpoint!!!

Also, on October 22 you should check out The Alpinist Film Festival. Tickets are $12 and are available here at The Front.
