Matt Robinson Coaching and Programming
This is a 12 week program specifically for climbers.
It consists of gymnastics progressions (that carry over to your climbing) and lots of accessory exercises (complimentary strength exercises) aimed at balancing out the demands of climbing on the shoulders.
The goal of this program is improving core strength, bullet proofing shoulders, elbows and wrists and improving flexibility (strength in range) for climbing.
It is broken down into four 3 week cycles each building on the last.
There are 2 gym sessions per week and an additional flexibility session each week as well.
By the end of the 12 weeks you will be stronger, more flexible and be climbing harder.
3 sessions per week
