It seems to me that one could use his training time in a more economic and effective way.

quote double world champion in bouldering Dmitry Sharafutdinov (who can do 75 pull-ups static and 110 dynamic)"First, the maximum number of pull-ups on the bar as well as on the fingerboard. Before winning the world champion in 2007 I prepared by doing 10' to 20,000 pull-ups per month. In the morning I was training between 6 to 10. In the evening from 15.00 to 22.00. This is a very difficult method of training. I do not recommend it. An exercise on the bar is 20 sets of 20 times, rest between sets 3 - 4 minutes. Then fingerboard, active grip 15 sets of 15 times. Before winning in 2011, I did 3' - 5,000 per month as I increased the load using weight belts etc. Jens, you have to say that it is very difficult and dangerous. The 2007 method is hard for your heart and the technique for 2011 puts a lot of stress on the joints. )
Depends whether the reason he missed so many WC rounds was because he was injured or just not bothered?It wouldnt suprise me if he was injured, but it is also prety pricey to jet around the world Europe like that.
There was a round in china this year wasnt there?Obviously not relevant to previous years, but it could start to become an issue for quite a lot of competitors.
