Rock Climbing Training - Burst or Explosive Power
If you want to improve "dynos", dead-points, burst climbing, and enhance your speed climbing, then you need to develop your muscles' capacity to provide or increase "burst" power. Burst training is very taxing on muscles and should never be done without adequate Warm-up and Stretching. Afterwards, always perform some Cooling down exercises. If you are new to Fitness, we invite you to visit our Fitness website so you can get familiar with it.
The principle to develop burst power or speed climbing is simple. Train in maximum intensity bursts and completely recover before your next set. Glucose is converted to ATP and Lactate. Allowing a complete recovery will recharge the glycogen (glucose) in your muscles and give your body a chance to remove the lactic acid - preventing the aerobic system from fully kicking in, thus stressing the burst or speed function of your muscles. For more details, refer to our How Muscles Work section.
Quadriceps, leg, and thigh muscles are the muscle parts that you should focus on. By strengthening your leg and thigh muscles' burst power, your push off speed from the hold will increase, lengthen your reach dynamically, and improve your speed climbing.
