Episode Synopsis "TFM9: How Mountaineers Can Stay Strong All Year Round (Part 2)"
In this episode, we have part two on how a mountaineer can stay fit all year round. And specifically, we are talking about how a mountaineer can stay strong all year round. If a mountaineer wants to stay fit and strong for the mountains, without a specific end goal which they are aiming for, the majority of the training information currently available isn't very useful. Sure, the gradual, progressive approach can work (and it is definitely a good approach when you have a set goal), but it is not incredibly flexible, adaptable and can get quite boring over the long term So today, we explore a different method of planning your strength and endurance training for mountaineering. Which will help you stay strong all year round, and be ready to jump into any adventure you would like. You will learn: The two aspects of 'strength training' a mountaineer needs to work on (and the one aspect they can probably ignore) Why the traditional 'block periodisation' isn't so practical for many mountaineers A new approach to the periodisation of strength which is MUCH more flexible A brief overview of how to plan your max strength training A few easy options for muscular endurance training How to balance out 'deload weeks' with your strength training How to adapt this type of training around your climbing objectives To download the Mountaineer's Muscular Endurance Handbook mentioned in the episode, you can go here: https://www.summitstrength.com.au/mountaineer-handbook.html
