An unfortunate reality in climbing is that we are often limited by our skin. However, just because our skin is worn out and our fingers have had enough doesn’t mean we can’t still do some quality training. In fact, there is lots of beneficial training you can do without ever putting on your climbing shoes.
With that in mind, here’s a cross training and mobility workout from the TrainingBeta Route Climbing Training Program. The workout is from Week 32 of the program and is a day dedicated to upper body strength and mobility work. In it, you’ll work on your general upper body and core strength all without expending any skin or pulling on any climbing holds.
Give the workout a shot and see what you think!
