Here is a strength and power training exercise that will build grip strength and familiarity while still engaging other muscle groups.
The goal will be to Pick 3-4 hold types, set a route that has these holds grouped together and in a regular spacing and do 2-3 reps of the entire workout
(i.e. 4 crimps on the left every three panels, followed by 4 crimps on the right every three panels, followed by 4 side pulls on the left every three panels, followed by 4 side pulls on the right every three panels, followed by 4 under-clings on the left every three panels…and so on)
If the workout is too easy, you can add to the number of holds in the sequence (6 crimps instead of 4), change the angle of the wall, or add weight. These exercises will not only improve your overall power and strength but your muscle memory for specific hold types as well. |
