Rest Light Moderate Hard Peak
Weeks 1–2Build the habit, moderate intensity, clean form on weighted pulls and no-feet bouldering.
Weeks 3–4Raise limit-bouldering intensity, add weight/harder edges on hangboard and pull-ups.
Weeks 5–6Peak — hardest projecting and heaviest pulling load, then deload the last few days.
After Week 6Take a full deload week (light volume only) before starting the next block.

Injury Prevention

CautionWarm up fingers fully before Day 1 and Day 2 — 10+ minutes including easy hangs.
CautionAny pulley or elbow tenderness means skip hangboarding or weighted pulling that session.
NoteFingers take real load on Day 1 and shoulders/elbows on Day 2 — that's enough. Don't add a third dedicated finger session.
NoteIf antagonist or flexibility days leave you sore, ease off volume — they support the climbing days, not compete with them.
Looking aheadOnce you're consistently sending V6/V7, it's worth revisiting actual campus board training on top of this base.

Off the Wall
Warm-Up Routine
10–15 minutes — do this before any climbing day, before you touch a hold.
  • Cardio2–3 min light cardio (jogging on the spot, jumping jacks) to raise general body temperature.
  • ShouldersArm circles forward and backward, 10 each direction. Shoulder rolls, 10 reps.
  • WristsWrist circles, 10 each direction. Wrist flexor/extensor stretch, 20s each.
  • HipsLeg swings (front-back, side-side), 10 each leg. Hip circles, 10 each direction.
  • SpineCat-cow, 8 reps. Standing side bends, 8 each side.
  • FingersFinger spreads and gentle extensions, 10 reps. Easy dead hangs on a jug, 10–15s × 2–3, very light effort.
  • Activation5–10 min easy climbing on big holds, progressively increasing difficulty toward your working grade.
TipCold hands or cold weather? Extend this to 15–20 minutes before touching anything finger-intensive.
CautionIf any finger feels off during warm-up, back off that finger or hold type for the session rather than pushing through.
Monday · Day 1
Power / Limit Bouldering
Build the habit of pulling with straight-arm tension instead of momentum.
  • Warm-up15 min easy climbing + mobility, then progressively harder holds.
  • Main SetLimit bouldering: 45 min on steep terrain (20–40° overhang) at your limit. 3–5 attempts per problem, 2–3 min rest.
  • Drill"Quiet feet, locked core": 3 overhung problems, 2 grades below max, zero foot slips, no swinging hips.
  • StrengthHangboard (10–15 min, fingers already warm): max hangs on a hard 20mm edge, 5–6s hang, 5–6 sets, 3 min rest. Alternate half-crimp and open-hand week to week.
  • FinisherCore: front lever progression 4×10–15s, hollow body 4×30–45s, hanging leg raises 3×8–10.
CautionIf forearms are pumped going into the hangboard block, skip it. Max-force training on fatigued tendons is a real injury risk.
NoteIf you're pumped this often, check rest periods (should be 2–3 min) and trim limit-bouldering volume before the hangboard slot.
Tuesday · Home
Antagonist Muscle Workout
~30 minutes, floor only — counters climbing's pulling-dominant load.
  • PushPush-ups 3×12–15. Pike push-ups 3×8–10. Diamond push-ups 2×10.
  • ShouldersProne Y-T-W raises 3×10 each position. Scapular push-ups 2×12.
  • Posterior ChainSupermans 3×12. Bird dogs 3×10/side. Glute bridges 3×15.
  • ForearmsReverse wrist curls 3×15. Finger extension against light resistance 3×15.
Wednesday · Rest
Full Rest
Recovery day — no structured training.
  • RecoveryPrioritise sleep and food today — this is where the adaptation from Day 1 and the antagonist session actually happens.
  • OptionalLight walking or easy mobility is fine if you want to move, but keep effort low.
Thursday · Day 2
Pulling Strength + No-Feet Power
Same catching-under-tension strength campus board would build, at lower injury risk for your level.
  • Warm-up15 min easy climbing + mobility.
  • StrengthWeighted pull-ups (or weighted dead hangs): 4–5 sets × 3–5 reps, full rest. Add weight only when form stays clean.
  • Main SetNo-feet bouldering: 3–4 steep problems, 2–3 grades below max, hands only, controlled — 3–4 attempts each.
  • PowerPlyometric jug-to-jug: both hands together, explosive but controlled — 4–5 reps × 3 sets.
  • FinisherCore: plank shoulder taps 3×20, Copenhagen plank 3×20–30s/side, active-shoulder dead hangs 3×20–30s.
Friday · Home
Flexibility Workout
~25–30 minutes, floor only — biased toward hips, the bigger limiter for slab and high-steps.
  • HipsDeep squat hold 2–3 min total. 90/90 hip stretch 60–90s/side.
  • HipsPigeon pose 60–90s/side. Frog stretch 60–90s.
  • ShouldersSleeper stretch 30–45s/side. Cross-body shoulder stretch 30s/side. Doorway pec stretch 30–45s/side.
  • GeneralCat-cow 10 reps. Downward dog to cobra flow 8–10 reps. Hamstring stretch 60s.
Saturday · Day 3
Technique / Projecting
Keep your natural strengths sharp while continuing to reinforce tension.
  • Warm-up20 min, varied terrain.
  • Main SetProject 2–3 problems at your limit — mix in at least one steep/tension problem alongside slab/dyno picks.
  • DrillSlab footwork: do it after you're already pumped, not fresh — tests real control.
  • DrillDyno "stick and hold": after every dynamic move, hold the landing static for 3 seconds.
  • Volume8–10 easy problems (2–3 grades below max) for efficiency, minimum wasted movement.
Sunday · Rest
Full Rest
Recovery day — no structured training.
  • RecoveryLet the week's hardest sessions fully absorb before the next block ramps up.
  • OptionalLight walking or easy mobility only.
