Program Overview

Optimized Build-up 2 (Power) program for tall climber (6ft+)s (V4-V6)

Leverage your height while building the compression and body tension often lacking in taller climbers

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
