This is a book about strength training for rock climbers. Climbing is a skill sport, but in order to maximize our skills, we need a foundation of strength. In this book, you will learn the building blocks of developing an optimal level of general strength and then adding specific climbing strength to it. Focusing both on gym-based strength training and specific finger strength training, the programs outlined in Unstoppable Force are designed to keep you climbing harder, longer, and free of injury. By developing a high level of strength, you can better withstand the rigors of hard specific climbing practice. Whether you are just looking to brush up on some fundamental exercises in the gym or are looking for a comprehensive training program for strength, this is the book you need. STRENGTH IS USEFUL. STRENGTH IS FUNDAMENTAL. STRENGTH IS SAFETY.
