Nina Williams is a well-known V13 boulderer whose training, apparently, people are VERY interested in. I posted this video of her campusing on Facebook recently, and it was viewed over 500,000 times in just a few days.
So, here’s a peek at her training program in case you want to know more about what she’s doing. She’s training with our very own Kris Peters, and during this 5-week phase, he has her doing some finger strength training. Here’s a sample of a day’s work for Nina on her plan.
