About the book

A veteran climber, researcher and coach, Eric J. Horst combines sport science with decades of climbing and coaching experience in an evidence-based training program. The third edition adds energy system training for strength, power-endurance and aerobic endurance, daily undulating periodization for in-season programming, training zones for rock climbers, and stabilizer work to build arm power and protect the shoulders. Expanded chapters cover strength, power and endurance in the finger flexors and pulling muscles, along with core strength. Separate chapters address technique, mental training, nutrition, recovery and injury prevention. Horst, who has coached thousands of climbers and written hundreds of articles, owns the website Training4Climbing.com.

Tudor Teodorescu, founder of Transylvania Uncharted, named it among the books he was reading for personal, professional and spiritual development and described his results so far as excellent.

Tudor Teodorescu (Founder/Transylvania Uncharted)

The books that I am reading now are targeting the 3 categories of development mentioned before: personally, professionally and spiritually. The title describes everything that there is to say about them and from my experience the results so far from these books are amazing.
