Low Gear Climbing

Problem selection:

For this drill, you will make up your own problems on a spray wall or training board of 20-40 degrees. 7-10 hand holds. 

This is an all feet drill. Choose bad holds, and small hand movements. Your plan may further specify holds/techniques/positions to practice during this session.

Climbing:

Move deliberately and slowly. No cutting loose, jumping or thrutchy movements. Rest between reps until recovered, at least 3 minutes.

It’s normal to be pumped at the end of the rep but you should not feel pumped or out of breath when starting the next rep.

Focus:

You should not fail. We are looking for time under tension here, not power. Your plan may specify a different time under tension (TUT) for this drill. If not, default to about 5-7 seconds per hand move, and a total of 30-40 seconds per rep. 

Combination:

This is a general session and can be combined with any session. Perform after warming up and before any conditioning.
