Strength Training/Power Endurance

I train strength on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The goal is to gain strength above all else, some weight in the form of muscle since I will most likely lose weight in the high altitude of South America, and become lean so I won't be carrying any extra weight. In the second phase my workouts consist of:

Monday:
500 ft of climbing in 30-45 min. (grades: 5.10- 5.12)
1 hr of hard bouldering            
Circuit Training
3 sets, max reps
Pull ups x10 (+20lbs)
Ring Push ups x max
Shoulder Flys x max (15lbs)
Lower Back extensions x max
Dips x max
Seated Rows x max (cable machine setting 9)

Wednesday:
500 ft of climbing in 30-45 min. (grades: 5.10- 5.12)
1 hr of hard bouldering    
Stairmaster
45 min (strength setting)    

Friday:

500 ft of climbing in 30-45 min. (grades: 5.10- 5.12)
1 hr of hard bouldering

In phase three I will add circuit training to Friday as well. In phase 5 I will add a set to the circuit training. Lastly I will add squats once my legs get used to all the activity.

  1. So you do your weight lifting AFTER climbing huh? That's tough! How is that working out so far? Lemme know. I tend to do the weight lifting on a separate day from climbing, but admittedly doing it afterward will save me a day of training and add a day of rest~
