3 methods for a constant progression.
The search for constant progression can make us even more intelligent, that is, able to choose the best of all possible options for that to occur precisely, evolution, progress, however small (this is often only appreciable for oneself, because it will be a small gesture more, an "insignificant" nuance discovered, a feeling of greater capacity ..., and it will be this that will make us leave the sector satisfied, and surely wanting more !!).
To achieve improvements faster and safer, or a good and steady progression, almost 100% of climbers resort to the action that is supposed to be the most intelligent to get it: they train for it.
Here, each one will be able to judge the appropriateness or otherwise of the method used, based on how the approach is adjusted to what are promulgated the principles that govern all training and that, in order not to extend much (extension of principles), they could be summarized in 3 Ideas of a fundamental nature that, if they are always taken into account, will facilitate this almost eternal progression in the performance of each one:
- The law of minimum effort: It means that the level of the load that is used must always be the minimum that produces an increase of the yield. This will determine the progression of intra-exercise load, its frequency, density and especially volume and intensity, variability of training contents, etc ... Something that is often not understood as such, and is thought to train more or harder it will progress more (when what happens in many cases is the opposite by the effects that cause too high loads or very rapid progressions: overtraining and injuries).
- Respect the weakest link: This point is especially important and has to do with the previous one (regarding the avoidance of injuries or the recovery of them when they occur, something often inevitable by the very idiosyncrasy of the practice Sport that we do and the stress that produces the organism, sometimes difficult to control, especially in the rock). Normally this link is evident in the soft tissues, of late adaptation compared with other organic tissues, which will mark the progression to follow in the inclusion of certain intensities of training by more or less prolonged times.
- Leave space for growth: Here lies the main problem for future evolution in the vast majority of climbers who, by ignorance, use means and methods too advanced for the level they have, which implies an early development (and Dangerous, as explained in point 2) but that will limit them in the future, when they find that they do not have more "recipes" to continue improving.
