That’s 75 reps without a rest. Sounds like endurance / work capacity training. How do you think this would help a boulderer?
Andrew – Great question. The program is cyclical in nature, meaning we’re having you focus on different aspects of training for climbing during different blocks of time. If you’re going to be doing long boulder problems, your work capacity needs to increase, and working (power) endurance will help with that. Your core strength has a lot to do with overall climbing ability, especially on overhanging boulders, so strengthening your core muscles in every way possible (including a power endurance way) will benefit your climbing.
