Format:Paperback
Eric's book is well written and beautifully laid out. The details of training are based on scientific review of the literature and the first-hand experiences of the author. As a climber of 25 years I still found it a useful resource, and it has replaced the older (but still good) book "Perfmance Rock Climbing" by Dale Goddard and Udo Neumann. The photographs are inspirational. Congratulations Eric - this is a great book.

I have both 'Training for Climbing' and 'Conditioning for Climbers'. They make good textbooks with good indepth information and a whole heap of excercises. Not a blow by blow account on Self help but a good source of information to arm yourself with to figure out how to train better.

Simply the best Training book for Climbers
11 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
Eric Horst is THE expert on training for climbing. This book is by far the most up-to-date and complete source on everything from the mental to technical to the physical aspects relating to climbing. It provides and explains the concepts in simple terms and provides the scientific reasoning behind them. Proven strategies that work.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is a MUST for any climber, regardless of age, sex, skills or style - it really helps one improve results fast by better understanding how the body acts and reacts before, during and after climing.
It really covers everything a climber needs to know and more.

Training for Climbing
5 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
This is an outstanding book about training for climbing. It covers a wide range of topics and all with a solid scientific basis. The writing style is extremely easy to read and entertaining to boot. I have to say I disagree with the reviewer who said there is too much focus on mental training. This is a small, but integral part of this book. This book looks at mental training, skills and strategy, strength training, personal programs, nutrition, recovery and injury prevention. It also includes training charts you can use, additional tips and a comprehensive glossary. All in all an excellent guide to training from a respected climber and climbing journalist. Highly recommended for beginner or more experienced climber alike.
