If you are looking to climb hard boulder problems then at a certain point you are going to have to incorporate some power training into your routine. Most climbers accomplish this by training on a campus board. However, to give you a slightly different perspective as well as some serious power training motivation, here’s a video of British climber Louis Parkinson training power through a series of impressive exercises that consist of campusing, dynos, and plyometrics.
While this video does not give you any insight into how Louis structures his training, the exercises/feats of strength he performs are extremely impressive and display a serious level of power. We wouldn’t recommend heading straight to your local gym and trying these yourself. Instead, use this video as a source of motivation. Not only does Louis look exceptionally powerful, but he also looks like he’s have a great time training and trying his hardest. Give the video a watch bellow.
