Rock Climbers Training Manual - Anderson Bros 16-Feb-2017 At 1:52:07 PM jacksonclimbs

I've done about 3 RPTM cycles now, and I've also done online training with a trainer for about 4 months. What I like about RPTM is the focus on efficiency of the training plan/session.

Online trainer had me doing huge amounts of volume, and I found it didn't make me better off than the 50% less volume the RTPM had me doing. If your heart is set on climbing really hard sport, and you need to maximise training around work/family, then I think the book might be for you.

A really good source of training info is the reddit sub r/climbharder - that's where all the internet's training nerds with desk jobs seem to wind up. https://www.reddit.com/r/climbharder/ - the mods there made a really good training wiki - https://www.reddit.com/r/climbharder/wiki/index - has a good summary of FAQ's on training and different approaches to hangboard training by Anderson Bros, Eva Lopez, Parsons, Maisch etc.

If you're crazy set on it, but don't want to pay $75 and can wait until the end of March, I can bring a copy with me when I move from US to Oz.
