Program Overview

Optimized Build-up 2 (Power) program for time crunched v4s (V4-V5)

Only 45-60 minutes per session? This high-efficiency program maximizes gains with minimal time investment

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)

Training Focus

Maximizing power and strength through high-intensity, low-volume work with complete recovery. CNS adaptations are the priority.

Key Principles

  • Follow CNS-demand ordering: HIGH → MEDIUM → LOW within each session
  • Maintain proper rest periods between sets and exercises
  • Adjust volume according to the 3+1 week pattern
  • Listen to your body and adjust if experiencing pain or excessive fatigue

Equipment Required

  • Indoor climbing wall
  • Hangboard/fingerboard (for finger strength exercises)
  • Timer
  • Training log

Generated using Carlos V3 methodology + Genetic Algorithm optimization

Key Insights for ClimbingBrowser

Strategic insights from community analysis

  • 💡Board climbing is becoming the dominant training modality - Users are replacing traditional hangboarding with board sessions for integrated strength/skill development
  • 💡Short-term trip preparation is a major use case - 6-8 week focused training blocks for destination climbing trips represent significant user needs
  • 💡Technology adoption is accelerating - Tindeq devices and movement analysis tools showing high user satisfaction and "irreplaceable" status
  • 💡Injury prevention awareness is high - Users actively seeking safer training methods while maintaining effectiveness
  • 💡Grade validation anxiety is universal - Climbers constantly seeking external validation of their abilities across different mediums
  • 💡Endurance training is under-addressed - Many strong climbers identifying endurance as their primary weakness, seeking creative home solutions
