Somebody 'experienced' bouldering and weight training told me 45 min sessions are way too short, therefore useless or even potentially dangerous for my joints and muscles, so I was wondering what you think about tha
Go to the gym, it's worth the effort, the time and the money.
I'm not convinced about the wisdom of weightlifting when you'll be climbing later that day (perhaps unless you're just doing aerocap/ARC), and not convinced that you want to be weightlifting on rest days. If I were going to lift weights it would be at the end of a strength session, after I was done with any high-intensity climbing I was going to do. Or at the start of a block of training as a conditioning thing.
I agree with Abarro. If youre going to do power or strength or power training in the evening, be it bouldering or weights then you should avoid strength / power training in the daytime. Youd be better off doing cardio / aerocap / ARC / yoga in the daytime then strength / power / power endurace in the evening.
question: following on what some people were suggesting, would it be better to do this fingerboard session on the same day of the wall session, or on the rest days from the wall? g
I definitely think that 2 sessions a week of climbing specific weight training would be beneficial (and give better results than a 45min bouldering session) and you might still have time for the fingerboard in the evening.
Lighter weights antagonists sessions in shoulders and core might be a good use of time to proof you against injury, burn calories and not affect your climbing sessions.
