When we think about planning out our training, it’s easy to get caught up in how to fit everything into one training plan.  After all, you’re supposed to hangboard, campus board, limit boulder, and do energy system work right?  Oh and don’t forget your injury prevention work and the deadlifting you should be doing.

Clearly, there are a lot of different ways to train that can help you improve at climbing.  Don’t get bogged down in feeling like you need to fit everything in.  Remember, climbing is first and foremost a skill sport.  What this means is while we should all be training to get stronger, we also need to be practicing our skills.

With that in mind, here’s a sample projecting workout from the Route Climbing Training Program.  The workout is from Week 6 of the program and is a day dedicated to practicing your projecting tactics with some injury prevention/general maintenance at the end for good measure.

Give the workout a shot and see what you think!
