Training for climbing? 6-Jun-2006 At 10:08:22 PM Peacey

Message

Hello everyone, in full knowledge that there are members of this forum that are exceptional climbers i.e. way better than me! I was wondering if anyone has any tips regarding tendon soreness in ones forearms? At this time of the year I’m trying to train (mainly bouldering) three times a week. I warm up and stretch before sessions, and try to warm down and stretch after each climbing session. At this stage training consists of doing a lap of a single problem, then resting for the amount of time that it took to complete the problem. I repeat this four or five times per problem, an have rest periods after 3 problems. I have been reading literature on the Internet, and have been trying to incorporate climbing each problem one way and they repeating the problem in reverse.

Does anyone have any tips regarding recovery, or processes that they use to recover after a training session? Im looking to do a fair bit of climbing when I get time off from the Army and need to make sure that I’m doing the right things before embarking on a trip to Araps.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Tristan
