Ask Kris 005 :: Improving Core Strength for Climbing


Improving Core Strength for Climbing

This week, in our fifth mini episode of Ask Kris, we talked about how to improve core strength for climbing. Having just spent last week in Rifle on my project, I realized that I need to gain a lot of core strength myself, so I loved this episode. 

Here's what we talked about:

  • What our "core" actually is
  • What exercises you should do to train core strength
  • How I should train for my core-intensive kneebar crux
  • Why we don't train core with low reps/high weights
  • How to train your lower back to avoid injury
Train Your Core with Kris's Programs

All of the programs that Kris wrote for trainingbeta.com have a focus on core stability and strength.

If you want 3 complete workouts every week to get you stronger and help you stay injury free, check out our bouldering training program or our route training program.
