How to Avoid these 7 Dreadful Climbing and Bouldering Training Mistakes

Of course, you learn from your mistakes. But sometimes it takes too long and too late! You don’t have to make every mistake yourself. In this climbing article, we will explain more severe mistakes in climbing and bouldering training.

There is no recipe for success in bouldering and climbing training that suits everyone equally. Depending on your level of experience, level of climbing, strengths and weaknesses, and individual factors, specific approaches can be very beneficial or even harmful. However, some are not suitable for all climbers. Or at least it’s so unfavourable that it can usually be classified as a mistake. These 7 mistakes can be avoided in climbing and bouldering training, and we’ll show you how.

Climbing and Bouldering Practice Mistake 1: It’s too early.

Do not do the beginner workout program yourself; use the advanced program. And instead of taking a blunt stance, walk straight to the campus board and try an effective method. Instead of starting with the most straightforward exercise, do the problematic version yourself.

What’s wrong?

Education must be tailored to the individual. What’s suitable for Alex Megos isn’t necessarily right for you. In contrast, those who work too early with advanced training approaches (i.e., is it worth mentioning that overwork itself is not a training stimulus and increases the risk of injury?

How to Avoid These Mistakes in Climbing Training:

Starting Positions You at. Advanced campus board training on Youtube is not for you if you are a climber for a year or have little training experience. Trying to copy can make it a little stronger. Or maybe not. You risk injuring yourself, and at best, you will be disappointed because it is so difficult.

Even if it looks dull, find an option that works for you and is challenging but not overwhelming. Then you can progress quickly, and soon your approach to advanced learning will be right for you. You don’t need revolutionary training while you’re still improving; conversely, climbing and bouldering are helpful. It is only when it no longer improves or stagnates that you have to think about intelligently setting up new training stimuli. There are some excellent tips here and in my other articles.

Climbing and Bouldering Training Error Numbers 2: Making Meters Obsolete

Climb many rocks or paths that are easy to traverse and require no effort. Complete the entire climb on difficulty without falling risk. Mostly easy to climb stairs.

What’s wrong?

The movement may not be complicated, but for joints and tendons, elevation still means stress. Because of the lack of strength, there is little training stimulation for the muscles, so this will not make you stronger. Climbing is a skill-oriented sport, so skill is just as important as strength. But neither will be helpful when climbing on well-controlled terrain, so there is no reason to improve your body. This makes these meters somewhat “useless” from a training standpoint. It’s too light, even for endurance training.

How to Avoid These Mistakes in Climbing Training:

Fully warm up and use these steps to relax in a comfortable zone. Then, look for the specific task you’re having trouble doing and that you’re having trouble doing. Only then can further development be possible. When strength and aggression subside, or a recovery session is needed, lower the intensity low enough to control the musculoskeletal system.
Devices designed to improve blood circulation in the forearm should be mild to moderate in intensity and light that they have little or no blood pump. Conversation must be possible.

Climbing and Bouldering Training Error Number 3: Maximum load at the end of the block.

They are converted to hangers after 3 hours of hard bouldering. After climbing, try challenging rock wall moves. Usually, all kinds of maximum intensity training (campus board, bar) at the end of a workout if you’re already tired.

What’s wrong?

At the end of the session, the body is depleted. The maximum power has already been “exhausted”. Therefore, it is almost impossible to establish significant training stimuli. On the other hand, the risk of injury increases. The same applies to movements that require adjustment. At the end of the workout, the body is too tired to perform pure motor movements. It is almost impossible to master new movements when the body is tired.

How to Avoid This Mistake During Climbing Practice:

An intense, peak load during a bar, campus board, or difficult bouldering move marks the start of a session. After a thorough warm-up, work at maximum efficiency when fresh and aggressive. First, the chances of success are high. Second, it provides adequate training stimulation, and thirdly, the body is still in good condition and can better handle high loads. This also applies to movements that require coordination and learning new movements.

Climbing and Bouldering Workout Mistake 4: Too Little Rest

During your workout, try challenging moves over and over, resting for a few seconds without interruption. Use full throttle more than 3 days a week or train hard and exhaust all the time for weeks without interruption.

What’s wrong?

During training, the body is not getting more robust and is in the recovery phase after training. After a training stimulus, the body needs time to adapt and recover enough strength for the next intense workout. Therefore, it is essential to get enough rest after training.

How to avoid this problem:

During bouldering drills, you should rest a few minutes between strenuous attempts and a few more minutes for your route. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to mobilize the reserve. It cannot operate with optimal power consumption. Ideally, you should train every few weeks, ideally once a week, once a month, and during the low volume and intensity phases, your body should rest so it can recover for the next intense cycle. If you’ve been training correctly before, this “easy” step will make you stronger.

Climbing and Bouldering Training Error Number 5: Climbing in the Same Style

Always avoid railings and climb only on straight terrain. Or head for mostly high overhang climbs with big hooks, but avoid slabs. Remove any specific requirements or wall slopes from the principle.

What’s wrong?

No wonder there are types of climbing that we are particularly good at and enjoy the most. Who doesn’t want to be successful? Often we, too, unconsciously choose the slope of the wall, and our preferences come in unnoticed. DANGER: Climbing only overhangs will not naturally improve your slab laying skills and vice versa.

How to avoid this problem:

To improve yourself, you should, in principle, make sure you can climb with all wall slopes and climbing styles. The good news is that once you know your preferences, you can approach less-loved tendencies or styles in a much more humorous way. And if you try it regularly, you will be rewarded with a significant performance boost.

Climbing and Bouldering Practice Mistake 6: Strength Training Only

Spend more energy on different boards and strength training, spend little time on walls, rarely or never climb routes, and rarely walk on rocks.

What’s wrong?

Rock climbing is a skill-based sport and consists of a variety of techniques. Of course, this includes not only physical strength but also skill and mental abilities. The latter isn’t easy to train with reps and sets, but that doesn’t mean it’s not as important as strength. What good is strength if you can’t move because you’re afraid you’ll eventually fall? Or do you not know how to navigate difficult climbing areas? Or can we not go over the edge of the roof?

How to avoid this mistake:

Strength training should also be performed only by those who lack strength. If you lack the skills, flexibility or mental abilities, you need to be trained. As with strength training, we need to provide incentives and adaptations. Depending on your requirements, training the appropriate soft skills during climbing differs from block strength training, but that doesn’t mean it’s less critical.

Climbing and Bouldering Training Error number 7: Always full throttle

Always wants steep climbs and consistently demands high performance. Disappoint when the performance curve drops.

What’s wrong?

It is not realistic for the performance curve to always point upwards even with consistent training strategically. In other sports, it is common to separate into different phases such as building, max strength and endurance training, and training plans include peaks in the competitive phase. This linear periodization is based on the fact that the body cannot achieve maximum performance all year round, and it is usually adequate to build different training phases. Non-linear periodization can also be used for climbing training, but the body still needs a recovery phase. Periodic basic and advanced training is also beneficial for athletes with training experience. However, this is usually accompanied by short-term performance degradation.

How to Avoid This Mistake During Climbing Training:

After a highly stressful phase, your body should be given a chance to recover. Basic training and endurance training can be beneficial at the start of your next training cycle.
