BOULDER STRONG

is a non-linear periodized training plan written specifically for the advanced boulderer who is willing to work hard to reach the next level. Based on the High/Low system of training, this plan requires some restraint from the climber to be most effective. We’ll be addressing not only the strength and power you’ll need, but the skills and tactics required to be successful on harder boulders.

FOR: Climbers who are already consistently climbing in the V6-V9 range will benefit the most from this plan.

EQUIPMENT: You will need access to bouldering, a hangboard, and a campus board. While not required, access to some form of a suspension training system and weights can be helpful.

DURATION: 12 weeks

FREQUENCY: 3-5 sessions a week, 1-3 hours a session

STRUCTURE: The plan consists of 2 distinct phases, each lasting 5 weeks, separated by a deload week designed to allow for adequate recovery and adaptation.
