Hooper’s Beta Ep. 136

INTRODUCTION

Welcome back to another episode! This is part 2 (of 2) in our current over-rated / under-rated discussion. There was too much content for one video, so we had to make this a two-parter. In this video, Dan and I discuss/debate some over and underrated topics concerning climbing training! We again apply actual science to each discussion and some expert opinions on the matter. Topics include:

- Core-Strength Training
- Antagonist Training
- Interference Effect
- Cardio for Climbers
- Concentric Finger Strength Training
- Recruitment Pulls
- Endurance Training for Boulderers
- Face Pulls
- Training Periodization
- Hangboard/Campusboard Risk for Youth
- Progressive Overload
- Gaining Muscle for Climbing
- Losing Weight for Climbing
- Muscle Confusion
- Lower Body Training
- Stretching & Flexibility Training

See below for more details but be sure to check out the full-length video!
