move BM to the kitchen. Makes training much more palatable.
Would you do bouldering/strength stuff during the same session as the long, mild pump enduro circuits,or on alternating days/sessions?
Tell him about your metronome Alex
Are you near Cham? There's bouldering circuits at the base of of the Bossons glacier. Think Yann Ghesquiers opened a fair few of them.
agreed w barrows as a super basic way of getting started with an idea. as well, though. When you're doing strength work, the important thing is intensity not volume. rest long enough to give 100% effort every time, and when you start to fade, end the workout. You won't gain much more by pushing for a longer strength workout, except to increase fatigue and have a longer recovery period.
I think the two most common mistakes climbers are who try to gain strength do is:1) Not resting enough.2) Never trying really hard moves. When I ask people to set a two move boulder problem at their absolute limit in the gym, hard enough that it would take them at least 10-15 quality tries with 3 min rest between the goes to nail the individual moves, they almost invariable set something that they can either flash or do within 2-3 attempts.I'm as guilty as everyone else. For 1) I usually need a stopwatch, I cannot pace myself any other way. For 2) I find it slightly easier to choose set problems (if they exist) above my redpoint limit, find the hardest moves and work them individually.When you get closer in time to when you can get to your project, set circuits that physically simulate the part of the route that gives you problems.
