Training the day before climbing
August 16, 2014, 04:11:19 pm
OK, so, apart from complete rest, what should one do the day before going bouldering on rock, to recruit the most?
In the past I did some deadlifting sessions and they felt good, but now I can't (meniscus and no gym).
I'm trying today the following:
- foot on campusing, +8kg, two sets in total.
- one arm lock offs on incut BM rung, four in total.
- front levers/front lever pulls, two in total.
- maybe very little, intense weights.

Thoughts?

I thought real rock was something you did when you could not go training. ;D

Are you by any chance on a rest day - bored - and looking for justification to do some training? ;)

If so - have a coffee, find a comfy chair and read a book :)

Read. My. Mind. Both of you.
I have already done all the above: a lie in, love, lunch, liters of coffee, studying a bit, looking for a new bike...
It's still damn early.
Luckily in half an hour I'll be out for the Palio.

In case anyone is interested, I went climbing yesterday and felt good.
The session I did on Saturday didn't do any harm, still hard to know whether it did good or not...
Anyway volume was right, and intensity was close to max. I was coming from a week off though... Too many variables, maybe.
Worth trying again.
I added one single go on the circuit (25 moves) and some snatch pulls.

Trying this today again, I will go climbing tomorrow afternoon.
Let's see how it goes on normal days, with work, study, etc.

I injured my right pinky.
