Hot from the Preston laboratory...

especially if it's from Bolton
whata a high pull snatch
Thank you for the paper, Serpico. It was a good read.Shark, do you perform the complex just once and using the same weight dumbells for all exercises? Any rest between exercises? This is new to me but seems like it could be what I'm after. I do most all my climbing training by climbing at the wall but am now thinking about a morning on the fingerboard occassionally aswell.
Can't see that at work.
Military Press/ Overhead Squat x6 Curl the DB's to your shoulders, squat, do a military press, stand up, squat down, lower the DB's to shoulders and repeat.

That's my take on it too

Lots of vids on youtube.Don't think I've ever been quite so humbled as I was on first OHS attempt with something I could easily military press and could easily hold and 'pistol' squat on one leg. It just wouldn't move. Pushed so hard I thought my eyes would pop and my insides would become my outsides. It's a monster of an exercise.

Weights aren't on my programme as Tommy clearly doesnt see this as a weakness
Quote from: shark on January 25, 2011, 03:25:43 pm Weights aren't on my programme as Tommy clearly doesnt see this as a weakness Weight training, especially hypertrophy, is still controversial with climbing coaches, but I think it's important for the more mature climber because of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenia] sarcopenia[/url]. We have to work harder just to stay in the same place.
