For those of you who have a home wall or get to use someone’s home wall or are thinking about building a home wall, here are some tips for you.
This article is from the N.E.R.D. (Not Enough Rest Days) site, markclimb.wordpress.com, about how to train in various ways using a home wall (and how he would improve his home wall set up)….
“Anyway, my training consists of hard climbing, hang board, TRX training, weightlifting, campus boarding, and theraband exercises. With my small woody, I can do all but the campus boarding. Let’s go through in chunks and I’ll explain how in/effective the woody is for everything.”
He describes the way his home wall works well to hangboard; he does three different exercises using three different campus rung edge sizes. There is the benefit of having the home wall right there to warm up on for hangboarding too.
He explains the set up he has to be able to use his TRX and his thoughts on weight lifting and Therabands (admittedly no woody required for this one).
Then, he talks about actually climbing on the woody, the obviously important part. He gives suggestions for how to build your home wall to be of usable dimensions (his is a little bit short).
Give it a read and hopefully learn something helpful for the home wall set up you use….
