Training For Mountaineering: Structuring A Strength Workout

In this video, I explain a simple method a mountaineer can use to structure their strength workouts, which is incredibly time-efficient, effective and comprehensive (much more so than the 'traditional' training structure most mountaineers are familiar with).


Strength training is an incredibly powerful tool in a mountaineer's preparation. But no mountaineer wants to be spending endless hours in the gym...

And unfortunately, when it comes to strength training, most mountaineers are following an ancient school approach to structuring their workouts (and acting more like a bodybuilder than a mountain athlete).

Yes, this approach can work. But it is incredibly inefficient for your precious time. It is quite dull. And it has several other limitations which will affect your long term results.

In this video, I explain a simple process a mountaineer can use, to reduce the time commitments of their strength training, while ensuring they are covering every base necessary for an effective and comprehensive workout.

 You will learn:

  • The guiding principles of an effective strength workout (plus a couple of additions which can turn a 'good' workout into a 'great' one)
  • The 'traditional' strength training approach most mountaineers follow (plus exactly why it is outdated and only relevant for bodybuilders)
  • A recently popular approach which many mountaineers enjoy (which is a HUGE mistake if you want to maximise your performance on the mountain)
  • The 'new school' approach for strength training (used by world-class athletes for years) which will maximise the effectiveness and efficiency or your workouts (with SIGNIFICANTLY lower time commitments than what most mountaineers are used to)
  • Four 'plug and play' templates a mountaineer can use to create their own strength workouts
  • Why doing the same training as someone who is trying to 'lose weight' and 'get fit' is a genuine mistake for a mountaineer
