CLIMB 5.13

is a non-linear periodized training plan written specifically for the intermediate sport climber looking to break into the 5.13 grade, or solidify themselves at the mid-5.13 level.

FOR: Climbers who are already consistently climbing in the 5.12 range, and are comfortable pushing themselves on lead, 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 3 progressively focused phases, each lasting 3 weeks, separated by a deload week designed to allow for adequate recovery and adaptation.
