ALL my secrets about ENDURANCE

Ah , OK....we should warm up on a 7b route....knew something was wrong with my training

[@Hopesfallout]

I know you're joking but this is still very useful info. I imagine he can routinely onsight up to at least 8c. This means he's warming up with routes that are super easy for him. I definitely warm up on routes that are too close to my onsight level.

[@TheSubieFan]

Considering he climbs 9c that means if you climb 5.12 you should probably warm up on 5.9. Only issue I have with that is most 9s are juggy and don't engage my fingers and don't have much movement variability.

[@thenayancat8802]

Don't forget the last 7C+ to finish your warmup or you will be suffering

[@oleksiikosenko4796]

Great video! Looking forward to many more to come! I would advise you to set up the heart rate zones to display YOUR actual zones rather than the factory pre-set up ones. There are different approaches how you can do that. The ideal one is to perform a VO2 max stress test. It will be most accurate determining your max HR. But it not always accessible for everyone. Another common one and the simplest one is by equation: 220 - your age From that you manually set up the zones: Zone 1: 50-60% of HRmax Zone 2: 60-70% of HRmax. Zone 3: 70-80% of HRmax. Zone 4: 80-90% of HRmax. Zone 5: 90-100% of HRmax.

[@mariuszklin6433]

Thanks Stefano. Interesting take on fear of falling. I always struggle when I do a lot of bouldering and I’m returning to lead after few weeks. I have to do a few falls beforehand as otherwise I can’t focus on climbing as I constantly think about where will I end up in case I fall or if my belayer is focused 😅 after I do a few control falls it feels a bit easier. I don’t know how you and Adam do it and skip clips without even thinking about it. Completely different world. Good luck with Olympics qualifiers. I’ll definitely be keeping my fingers crossed for you

[@mtbfree]

I think the key for skipping clips is being in a situation where you know that you will be safe taking a big fall... They typically only do that when it's overhanging and there's nothing to hit by taking a bigger whip. Of course, they have enough experience to judge when they are in those situations. Jakob Schubert took a huge whip working project Big when he skipped a few clips in a section that he didn't think he was likely to fall, but he slipped off and fell a long ways... he was completely fine though since it was very high off the ground on steep terrain.

[@kevedwards]

Great vid dude.

[@bryceayoung]

Super valuable video! Thanks for posting, and good luck with your goals this year! For a few years I’ve been following a training plan by the Anderson brothers (the book is “Rock Climbers Training Manual”) which separates the training season into phases: base, strength, power, power endurance. The idea is to focus on one aspect of training, for example the strength phase is only hangboarding for 5 weeks. Then you move to the next phase. I’ve gotten good results, but I noticed that you train different systems throughout the week. This is more similar to the way that athletes train for sports like running, where different systems are trained throughout each week, and each week adds some volume or intensity. Since you’re in the pro climbing world, can you comment on which type of training most pro climbers do? Should that be different for recreational climbers?

[@steghiso]

I think the best would be to focus on one aspect in one period, but not 100%. for example usually the fisrt period month is focus on power, but with one of 2 endurance training, then slowly adding more power endurance and endurance training in the next periods, but not doing just one thing, if your goal is to climb routes. I always train a bit of endurance, even when the focus is power in that period

[@charlieg4113]

Thanks, Stefano, for this peek into your training. Do you find overhangs to train endurance more, or were these routes/this wall chosen just because it was the big, open, outside wall?

[@steghiso]

Yes overhanging wall are usually better to train endurance, you are hanging more on the arms and have less spots to rest

[@philippbulling8271]

I‘m very surprised that heart rate is a relevant climbing measure. I always thought, cardio fitness is less important for climbing performance. What about more climbing specific measures, such as critical force? Do you consider them in your endurance training as well? Thanks for providing such informative content!

[@wizardinthecave]

My understanding is that your cardiovascular system in part determines the rate at which you can remove waste product, if you can remove the carbon in your body more effective when producing energy you don't need to produce as much lactic acid using the lactate system to handle it

[@slashxxx549]

Hei stefano, is it really useful to take track of heart rate in climbing type endurance? As Eva Lopez Rivera studies demonstrate, in climb Is crucial the local forearm endurance, not the general one that instead heart rate measures. Or else a general cardio activity should also be enaugth. It would be great if you show us the HR graph when you do hangboard forearm endurance 7:3.. I bet HR will stay relative low, because not pushing with the leg. Share your thought about that will be apreciated!

One thing you didn't really touch on was how you select your difficulty level of routes for this endurance training. Based on your falls I assume you choose routes at approximately your onsight ability? Does pump come into play for your selection (do you try to avoid getting too pumped)? Also curious if you do easier routes or ARC training for endurance (or if you used to do this but not anymore)?

[@steghiso]

I choose a route I know I can do it or fall towards the end

[@cameroncunningham4520]

How do you train to recover while resting? I find myself on harder routes getting pumped while resting on the routes

[@steghiso]

I do it on the circuits, try to set a circuit with forced rests

[@bongosock]

Do you train endurance mainly for the forearm/grip? Do your arms and shoulders always naturally have enough endurance? Any tips for recovering on a route?

[@steghiso]

On a route the muscle that gets pump is the forearm, you are almost never pumped in any other body part, sometimes the legs on some tiring kneebars, so you don't really need endurance for these. for recovering on a route I try to shake one arm at the time and focus on the feelings on my arm, feel the blood inside my veins and positively thinking it is recovering well, then switch arm and do the same for the other one. It's a mental trick, maybe a bit of placebo but if you feel confident and rested it means it works

[@bongosock]

@@steghiso Interesting! I had a friend at uni doing their honours on muscle fatigue. Basically, they can't find the physiological mechanism for fatigue in the muscles themselves. They think the brain is keeping track of how much work each muscle is doing, and when the muscle has done a certain amount of work, the brain decides it's tired. According to this theory, endurance training is not only about improving the blood supply to the muscle, but also re-calibrating the brain about how much work is okay for a muscle to do. So there's some science behind thinking your way into recovery! PS. You've totally got Burden in the bag :)

[@jasoncapenecas5475]

I might be confusing endurance and arc training with the level of intensity they are meant to be but it still seems like you are working too hard and producing too much fatigue to be effectively training endurance. This isn't being confused with power endurance training is it?

I don’t understand how you can recover so fast. Being completely pumped on the last set after the first go on the 8b (at least it looks like you fell because you were tired and not because you made a mistake) and then you just hop on after pulling the rope and do it?!? How is that even possible.
