I have drafted up a training plan for myself for the next 8 weeks... My key aim here is power, strength, contact strength and power endurance (max 20 moves)... I AM A BOULDERER.. I am not interested, nor do I have regular access to, long routes to cut laps on... Aerobic exercise will be a 5km ride each way on my pushie to the gym and back...

I am currently bouldering V5-7 (within a few shots) and have ticked up to V9 previously with minimal/no structured training.. However a kid, job and being almost 28 is catching up with me...

MONDAY
Campus Board
Pull Ups
Core

TUESDAY
Fingerboard
Push Ups
Core

WEDNESDAY
Rest

THURSDAY
Bouldering

FRIDAY

SATURDAY

Rest 4 Minutes

Rest 4 Minutes
Touches 1-4-3-4 (2 sets for each arm, 1-4-3-4-3-4-3-4 for each set keeping one arm constantly on rung one and the other moving between rungs 3 and 4. Resting 2 minutes each set.

I should also specify - my projects are Cave Man, Da Lai Lahmung, Annagramma, Cave Heart (link of X-treme Cool, Easy Does it, Aphrodite), Happy Camper Traverse, and the Westwood problems...

All roof/steep and a mix of dynamic and tension

In that case you'll need pork crackling as well.

Maybe some preventative exercises? Military press, reverse wrist curls, etc?

I probably wouldn't bother with biceps curls either with the other pullup style stuff.

Miltary press? Do you mean with weights or just push ups?

Saturdays I won't usually be at the gym which is why I have the curls in there to substitute pulls ups, but may be overkill...

Dips may be a good exchange for bicep curls to keep triceps strong..

How do biceps curls keep the triceps strong?

I meant if you think I have enough bicep exercises, I should add in one for triceps (dips) to keep it balanced

Ah, that makes more sense. Yes dips are good. On rings (or rock rings) if you're super psyched.

That's good. The first step to curing your affliction is to own up to it.

That will probably come into the program for weeks 4-8... I need to be wary of my elbows as I got a wicked case of tendonitis last year...

All the more reason for things like reverse wrist curls and the hammer/dumb bell rotation thing. Julian wrote an article with them in it: http://www.drjuliansaunders.com/index.php/download_file/-/view/28/

I'd be careful with campusing too.

You dont have access to long routes to train on (who cares) - what do you have access to boulder on?

Chockstone is not really a forum full of people training to break into Vdouble-digits. There might be four-five people here bouldering much harder than V9... So I doubt you will get useful feedback, other than general advice on how to not injure yourself, unless the Cosseys, Dave Jones or one of the silent but thugly climbers answers.

My local gym is The Rock in Geelong - has walls, but only up to about 12m so not someting you get a wicked pump on.. The bouldering area is pretty good though!

I figured what you said above might be the case - but thanks to everyone above who provided some advice.. I'll post up updates on how I go - might get some people psyched!

Thats misguided rubbish, or the setting is shit. I always set steeper walls in shorter gyms with circuits in mind for those in that very position. Most gyms arent more than 10m high. You can easily train anaerobic pump on a small wall if you know what you're doing. Circuits, down-climbing, time intervals,etc all work.

Also - I'd probably do the campusing on one of the days with rest either side. Thats a pretty intense campus session for anybody and resting is when you gain the strength from your training. But thats just me.
