15:10​ – 3-4 days a week is a good starting point
15:45​ – Do something physical every day!
16:00​ – Pushing / “prehab” exercises (do on non-climbing days!)
17:00​ – Targeted training to break plateaus
19:30​ – 3/4 days a week total of climbing-specific training for the “average climber”
21:50​ – one COMPLETE rest day per week

32:00​ – Opinion on fingerboard pull-ups

40:10​– Can your recovery maintenance hangboard protocol with collagen be implemented with a max hangs protocol or is it too much?
