The only conditioning book a rock climber needs! Rock climbing is one of the most physically challenging sports, testing strength, endurance, flexibility, and stamina. Good climbers have to build and maintain each of these assets. This is revised and updated edition of the classic book, Conditioning for Climbers, provides climbers of all ages and experience with the knowledge and tools to design and follow a comprehensive, personalized exercise program. Review: This is the training book you are looking for. - I read a couple pages of this phenomenal training guide a few years ago and could never remember the name of the book. This is it guys, just buy it. If you want it, it's in here: self assessment, warm ups, mobility, flexibility, weight loss, antagonist, stabilizer, core, limit strength, power, endurance, local and generalized aerobic, program design, special consideration, nutrition, workout recovery, injury prevention, anatomy, cycle charts, etc..... It's all here, just buy this one and then the other one you're looking at instead of going through 6 titles before finding this one like me. Review: Useful Information - I've been climbing for about a year. This book provides a lot of fundamental techniques for things such as warmup and antagonist training. It's easy to get overzealous when it comes to training but the book gives you keys to build a strong foundation and helps you identify what your already doing right. I will be applying the information to my training.

Useful Information
I've been climbing for about a year. This book provides a lot of fundamental techniques for things such as warmup and antagonist training. It's easy to get overzealous when it comes to training but the book gives you keys to build a strong foundation and helps you identify what your already doing right. I will be applying the information to my training.

As a "formerly advanced" climber who is trying to get back into a healthy regimen after a year or two off, this book was excellent review of some obvious components of active practice that I'd forgotten in my rush to get back to my old level of climbing. Horst continues to be the best when it comes to training guides. Cannot recommend this book (or any of the others) enough.

Fantastico para entrenamiento adicional no para crear un macro
Esta super bueno este libro, tiene una explicacion de los sistemas de energia y el enfoque del acondicionamiento general y especifico para escalada y los distintos tipos de escalada, tiene una detallada guia de ejercicios Generales y especificos, muy buen libro, sin embargo este al tanto que este libro es solo para el entrenamiento adicional a la escalada. No es para aprender a escalar ni para crear un plan o macro plan.

The one book for training
Year after year I was looking for a good book for training. After 10 years of climbing and a lot of different training plans I found this book from Eric. If you want to train seriously without a trainer this is the one book you have to buy! It's not only a book about "how to train". It's also about stretching, injury prevention and antagonist training. A must read for every passionated climber!
