Program Overview

Optimized Build-up 2 (Power) program for finger rehab returns (Returning to previous level)

Returning from pulley injury? Progressive loading protocol to safely rebuild finger strength and confidence

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)

Key Insights for ClimbingBrowser

Strategic insights from community analysis

💡Finger strength training shows immediate gains: Multiple success stories of rapid improvement from consistent hangboarding/block work, suggesting this is an underutilized lever for many climbers
💡Mental training is severely undertrained: Fear of falling and confidence issues appear frequently but with limited systematic approaches mentioned
💡Injury prevention education is critical: Chronic overuse issues (synovitis, pulley strains) dominate injury discussions, suggesting need for better load management education
💡Training specificity matters more at higher grades: V6-7+ climbers struggling with board vs gym set decisions, indicating need for style-specific programming
💡Recovery and deload protocols are poorly understood: Many users adding training without reducing climbing volume, leading to chronic issues
