EDITORIAL PREVIEW:
Highly-entertaining, idea-packed, and loaded with practical techniques and strategies, Training for Climbing presents a distillation of twenty-five years of experience and experimentation by accomplished veteran climber, renowned author, and performance coach, Eric J. Hörst.
In this follow-up to his popular Flash Training, Hörst presents a unique synthesis of leading-edge strength training methods, tried-and-true practice strategies, and powerful mental training techniques that will empower you to climb better--regardless of your current ability.
Training for Climbing begins with a logical progression of self-analysis and goal setting, then takes an in-depth look at the vital mental and technical skills that separate the best from the rest. In three breakthrough chapters on sport-specific strength training, the author presents the principles of effective training, followed by dozens of exercises, as well as sample personalized training programs for climbers of all ability. He concludes with expert advice on the often-overlooked subjects of performance nutrition, accelerating recovery, and the prevention and treatment of climbing injuries.
Let Hörst's passion for climbing and his exploration of the boundaries of personal performance help you achieve your personal best!
