How’s your climbing endurance feeling these days? Want something new to check out?
Here is a great climbing endurance workout to try (even if you’re a boulderer): rhythm intervals.
This article written by Steve Bechtel  (also author of Strength: Foundational Training for Rock Climbers) is from his site climbstrong.com, and describes rhythm intervals in detail. As he says….
“This one is easy, can be done somewhat quickly (12 minutes), and it yields real results.”
It’s fairly easy to set up too:
“The basic set up is like this: Get two sets of 4 matching holds, preferably a set of large edges and a set of slopers or cobbles. Set both groups of these up with two about shoulder-width apart and the other two about 2-2.5 feet above, also at shoulder-width apart. In the middle, about halfway between the holds, place a nice big rest jug (imagine making an X with the holds, this would be at the center.)”
He goes over what to do with that hold formation and then talks about ways to make the workout harder if you need it. Give it a try!
To see how to do the workout and benefit from the results of this type of training, check out the full article….
