training for climbing books, websites, techniques

I noticed there were a bunch of training for better climbing ability books at my climbing store. Two books on training by Eric Horst. There used to be one called How to Climb 5.12 that I recall. The books I looked at were technical and not user friendly to me. Do you have feedback on specific books or websites (other then this one) that helped your climbing ability (to climb harder routes) improve? This is in addition to just climbing and training more.

Good book and blog rockclimberstrainingmanual.…

Expounds a lot of interesting ideas. Good book interesting articles.

Also trainingbeta.com/

Haven't done any of their workouts, yet.

I feel some of the Eric Horst are dated, and to general.

^^^ have it and I feel if you can follow it you could crush climbs of the rock

Though I could only dream of reaching these guys' level, Mark Twight et al have an active training group:

Some of my mental training comes from reading.. John long and Peter Croft a trad climbers bible, Mark Twight the owner of gym jones and the writer of kiss or kill confessions of a serial climber.. when I start to wig out I just think of some of those stories...

IMO most of the climibing books/websites/etc talk a lot about the theories and concepts and give example of some exercises. But it can be far more helpful for someone to just give you a complete plan. (for example do exercise 1 for minute with 3 reps, then rest for x minutes and do)

the Mountain Athelete / North Face training app is super helpful.

the metolious hangboard workouts are also a nice, simple starting point.

The trick is doing enough without getting hurt. And that's where these cookie-cutter programs are really helpful. Someone else has already gone through some R&D so that is enough but not too much. Treat it like a starting point. Or something that is nicely regimented so you don't have to think much, just do it.

Of course just climbing more is key. But some consistent training exercises can pay off immensely. It did for me and few people I know.

I like these:
