“Strength endurance is what gets you up the route. It’s the ability to do 5 to 25 just barely sub-maximal moves in a row without resting. Because these moves are just barely sub-maximal they require that one can do hard moves (though not maximally hard moves) and sustain a roughly 70% maxmimal output for multiple moves in a row.” -Steve Maisch
This article is by Steve Maisch from his blog, stevemaischtraining.com, about strength endurance training. It includes multiple workouts for training to improve your strength endurance.
The workouts start at a basic level and include options to continue to build as you get stronger. Part of the workouts include doing repeaters on the fingerboard, of which he includes a video demonstrating proper technique.
In case you haven’t heard of Steve Maisch…..he is a local SLC strong man and renowned training guru. If you’ve ever run into Steve at the cliff, you know how humble and unassuming he is. Once he pulls onto the wall though, his immense power and strength speak for themselves. He makes very hard moves look easy. Clearly, his training works. Check out his workouts…..
