SonOfMessner Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Guys, I am new to this forum but still. I did not find any information on any training or exercises to maintain muscles. I am moving to the UAE for business, and have no idea what to do with that. How to keep your body ready for new routes? What's your advice? Anybody?

Off_White Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Training is going to be your thing. I've a limited sample of training guides, but I think Mike Layton's book is as good as anything, plus he's one of our own. It's worth checking out, a fat book full of info: https://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Stronger-Faster-Healthier-Beyond/dp/149965667X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfMessner Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Guess will buy the book... Found these, btw outdoorsly.org/best-hangboard/ Anyone has a hangboard? Which of these is better? Wanted to buy one, but not sure. I'll probably buy the book and a hangboard at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmeyers Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 there are a lot of easily accessible options these days for training plans, if that's what you're looking for. powercompanyclimbing.com, latticetraining.com, trainingbeta.com, and more. If you only have access to a hangboard, there are many protocols to use. I prefer the simplicity of Steve Bechtel's stuff (climbstrong.com) and his Hangboard Manual is pretty accessible imo, but there's also the Anderson's Rock Climbing Training Manual and Horst's Training For Climbing. A science-y explanation of when to use what sort of protocol can be found in Eva Lopez's site (http://en-eva-lopez.blogspot.com/). as for hangboards, that outdoorsly list is good. wood is nicer on your fingers if you're going to use it a lot. If you're looking for more overall fitness, not just finger/forearms for technical rock climbing, then check out some of the plans at https://mtntactical.com/.
