I have listed campus board as a prime tool for training recruitment, then go on to tell you not to use it.<br /><br />The big point to make is that for MOST people, recruitment isn't the thing they need to train. This is the key. So many climbers out there simply need to be working on their power endurance and yet are wasting their elbows on the campus board. Just plain unnecessary.<br /><br />But if you are that elite level roped climber or intermediate to advanced boulderer who finds that they are struggling to latch holds, then recruitment training could be the ticket (for a few weeks at a time max). In this case you have a few options:<br /><br />1. The dreaded campus board :)<br />2. Maximum effort short power problems (1-4 moves)<br />3. Eccentrics (lowering with big weight)<br /><br />All of these things will improve recruitment in your muscles. Bouldering is the MOST specific and probably most helpful of these, followed by campussing and finally specific exercises with weights.<br /><br />Cheers<br />LeeLee Cujeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299605594628708238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064672588559529982.post-49598486195615087902011-06-01T23:59:58.920+10:002011-06-01T23:59:58.920+10:00Hi, thanks for the article.

You said that you base your training periodisation on the Rockprodigy article you have linked on your site and I'm wondering what your ideas are for the recruitment phase. Rockprodigy claims that the campus board is the favorite tool to train recruitment. Any other ideas?Henry Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130202485995789124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064672588559529982.post-63083931223254392702010-02-25T04:06:04.283+11:002010-02-25T04:06:04.283+11:00could be...could be...climbingposthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747448568885698946noreply@blogger.com
