help With hypertrophy phase
|
In A few days I will beginning my hyp phase. The majority of this will consist of hangboarding. My question is should I continue doing some form of arc training along with this, maybe 20 minute traverse session for warm up. Should I include bouldering into this phase also. Someone mentioned doing 4x4 but that seems like it would be more of a PE workout than HYP. |

hey, some good advice in this thread mountainproject.com/v/block… |

^ how is your intensity on the hangboard if you can do some bouldering afterwards? My fingers are literally fried I can barely even open the protein powder jar afterwards :) let alone actually climb semi-hard problems! |

There is a real difference between intensive and exhaustive. You can do some highly intensive exercises and not feel completely worked. But if you try to exhaust all your strength with many reps (which I'm not sure is the best way to train HYP), then yes, you may not be able to open a plastic jar. |

Ten sets isn't a lot, but it's certainly done its job. My wording was also rather misleading. By 'after' a workout, I mean I would do a workout at 7-8AM, then later in the day I would boulder some. It was usually more towards 3-4PM that I'd hit the gym. I think it's mentioned somewhere on PowerCompanyClimbing that the writer had a similar experience with early morning workouts and moderate evening sessions. |
