Yeah without my knees I'm gonna be screwed. Unless there are routes with footless sideways dynos:
. And to me, it seems that these people with a physical trainer, in the usa or elsewhere are crushing way harder than you.
But this physical trainer is coaching top athletes e.g. Daniel Woods & Courtney Sanders. I assume they are not training to suck ...
I think i tend to more agree with Paul in that a lot of these exercises are likely to have a minimal benefit to climbing and are probably mainly useful to those already maintaining a high volume of training and performance to stave off boredom, and hopefully pay off in terms of some incremental gains. Surely the vast majority are better served by a relatively simple recipe of climbing to train if you can, and hang off some shit holds if you can't.
- he ain't there average client.
Iain, any chance of more details of your multi minute repeater routine? Thanks!

But I am going to guess that they didn't suck when he started training them.

For what it's worth, last year i couldn't climb for 3 months, 6 weeks in a gym seemed to make no difference at all; 3 weeks of fingerboarding seemed very effective indeed.
