Product Description

TRAINING FOR CLIMBING: -The Definitive Guide to Improving Your Performance, 2nd edition Eric J. Horst Updated, expanded, and redesigned, the second edition of "Training for Climbing" builds on the best-selling first edition of this breakthrough text. Eric J. Horst continues his tradition of melding leading-edge sport science and his thirty-plus years of climbing and coaching experience to create a unique and compelling book packed with practical how-to and what-to-do information. This new edition includes expanded chapters on training technique, improving mental skills, and developing muscular strength and endurance. A new chapter on general conditioning leads into the seminal chapters on climbing-specific strength training and developing personalized training programs for maximal results. Dozens of stunning color photos depict the exercises and techniques, while the addition of many training-tip summary boxes makes for a quick review of key points.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book full of sensible advice, 6 Nov 2009
By L. Grant "liam1026" (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
