This is a comprehensive max effort (overcoming) isometric strength training program created for climbers looking to improve peak force output in the primary movements. The text discusses the benefits of isometric muscle contractions in the broader context of dynamic movements, goes through a step-by-step tutorial with pictures and videos on how to test yourself at your local gym, and also provides an excel spreadsheet to track your training progress. This is the most simple and manageable way to reach a new peak level of force production in movements such as the deadlift, horizontal press (bench press), vertical pull (pull-up), and finger flexors (with specific finger positions). If you’re looking to be more accountable with tracking training progress and fatigue, this is a good place to start. What’s not included is the tool used to measure force output (crane scale or Gstrength500) or the flashboard, tension block, or Grippul. Those you’ll need to purchase on your own. For those with the Gstrength500 there is a specific tracking sheet built for that tool. Once you purchase the text simply fill out the associated form and I will get it sent to you the appropriate version via google drive.

*There is a bonus contrast strength training program at the bottom of the text for you to try!
