Program Overview

Optimized Transition program for advanced boulderers (V7-V9)

Training for maximum power and maintaining high performance

This program has been generated using genetic algorithm optimization following Carlos V3 methodology. It provides a complete week of training (Week 1 of the 3+1 pattern) that you can repeat with volume adjustments:

  • Week 1: 80% volume (introduction)
  • Week 2: 100% volume (build)
  • Week 3: 110% volume (peak)
  • Week 4: 60% volume (deload)

Program Details

Training Frequency: 3 sessions/week Session Duration: 150 minutes Total Weekly Volume: 337 moves Fitness Score: 1434.7/100

  • Listen to your body and adjust if experiencing pain or excessive fatigue

Equipment Required

  • Indoor climbing wall
  • Hangboard/fingerboard (for finger strength exercises)
  • Timer
  • Training log

Generated using Carlos V3 methodology + Genetic Algorithm optimization

Key Insights for ClimbingBrowser

Strategic insights from community analysis

  • 💡Assessment-First Approach: Users frustrated with training programs lacking baseline testing - integrate strength/flexibility assessments before program recommendations
  • 💡Volume vs. Intensity Balance: Multiple success stories from increased volume rather than intensity - consider progressive volume phases in programming
  • 💡Board-Specific Programming: High demand for system board training advice - develop board-specific protocols with injury prevention focus
  • 💡Real-Time Adaptation: Users want programs that adjust based on daily feedback rather than rigid schedules - implement check-in systems for program modifications
  • 💡Injury Prevention Focus: Consistent concerns about overuse - prioritize conservative progression and recovery protocols in all recommendations
  • 💡Grade-Specific Challenges: Different training needs emerging at distinct grade ranges (V5 plateau, 5.12 breakthrough, etc.) - develop grade-specific training focuses
