For the monthly training recommendation for October (a.k.a. homework) follow the same schedule as for September. Climbing 4 days a week is highly recommended.

Here are some other tips for the monthly schedule:

• Work on finger strength, lock off strength, and contact strength (ability to hold onto slopers). Only do these workouts twice a week and never on back to back days.
  • Fingerboard work outs
  • Rock rings
  • Gymnastic rings
  • Campusing
• For Power (high intensity, low number of moves 1-10)(ask at practice to explain the drills but the athletes know them):
  • 4x4's
  • Powerpacks
  • Pyramids
  • Points game
  • Good old fashioned bouldering session (warm up and then work on problems at your absolute limit
• For Power endurance (lower intensity more moves 15-45+ moves)
  • Pumpy traversing
  • All the above drills using long routes instead of boulder problems
  • Speed climbing laps (3-5 routes 5 laps on each route back to back with 2 minutes rest in between routes)
  • Good old fashioned climbing session (warm up and then work on routes at your absolute limit)
• Other things to constantly work on in your "homework sessions":
  • How to rest and shake out/get it back
  • Footwork/technique
  • Onsighting, onsighting, onsighting! You cannot practice this too much
  • Previsualiztion/ reading the route prior to climbing it
