In this episode the Camp 4 team sits down to discuss in-season training. What should we be doing when the weather opens up for outdoor climbing? We should be doing: 

1. Things that help translate our hard earned offseason strengths into climbing specific work
2. Maintaining our force output through strategic exercise choice
3. Managing fatigue week-to-week so that we can arrive to the crag FRESH!

This is done through strategic exercise selection as well as contraction type in those exercises. We also discuss how velocity training, or training at higher speeds of movement, can be a "hack" to maintaining our strength while transitioning that strength to movement that will enhance our on wall performance too.

Ideally with velocity based training we know exactly how fast we are moving so that we can specifically understand if we are moving too fast or too slow, and so we can see when our velocity significantly drops off. The drop-off indicates fatigue as set in and we should end that set or session.

Tools to track that speed and give realtime feedback are no longer $1000s of dollars! One of the tools we use the most in our C4HP training and assessments is the Vitruve Encoder. This devices will give you real time feedback on movement velocity on a user friendly app to help you level-up your training and coaching. At only $400 it is one of the cheapest ways to gain the edge you need to become a more powerful climber.

And ending Nov. 20th Vitruve is giving C4P listeners at 15% discount on their device! The code can be found in the episode ;)
