Power Endurance block
A power endurance plan for boulderers, 3 days a week
You run out of power halfway up. Keep your power through one hard move after another.
- 3 sessions a week
- 60 minutes each
- 4 weeks, the last one lighter
The four weeks
Weeks one to three train power endurance, endurance and mental focus, on the same days each week. Week four is a deload: the same days with less work, so you start the next block fresh. The plan leaves out the high-risk exercises. If you've bouldered for more than three years and nothing is sore, add the version with them in.
