Common Questions

Questions the community is asking about this topic

  1. **Training during injury recovery**: "Anyone else go through surgery and came back stronger?" - shoulder labrum repair context
  2. **Campus board usage**: "Does anyone else use the campus board for fun?" - seeking validation for non-structured training
  3. **Session length optimization**: Quality vs quantity climbing approaches - 2.5-4 hour focused sessions vs all-day climbing
  4. **Indoor gym etiquette**: "Do people brush holds at your indoor gym?" - training environment practices
  5. **Training structure for youth competitors**: "I'm 16f climbing V7-V8, don't have a coach - what should I prioritize: volume/technique, strength, hangboarding, or comp practice?"
