Trainingsweekend in Darmstadt

David and Ruben in Darmstadt

The last weekend we were invited to a training course of the German Youth National Team in Darmstadt near Frankfurt. Simultaneously it was a classification for our friends Lars Hoffmann and Max Prinz (both in the squad of Northern Germany) to get nominated for the German Youth National Team.

On Saturday we did a body check in addition to a yearly medical check by Dr. Volker Schöffl in Bamberg. Our posture and flexibility skills were analysed by a really friendly physiotherapist called Christopher Smolkovic. It was pretty interesting and informative. Thanks for this!

Subsequently we completed a specific hypertrophic training for the antagonists with fitness coach David Hammann to strengthen the back and the shoulders with several exercises on slings (TRX), bar-bells, terra-band and free on the mats. It was exhausting and we are supposed to embed them into our training plans. It could be effective to do these exercises on the rest days on Monday and Friday.

On Sunday we had to climb plenty of boulder problems with a time limit like an interval method in competitions. It was a good flash training on varied problems. Afterwards we tested our tactic and speed skills doing routes graded 7c and 7c+ as fast as we could. Especially it was fine to do this beside the monotone hypertrophic training to improve a flowing and swinging climbing style.

All in all it was a good training weekend. Now we have aching muscles. Tomorrow back to hypertrophic training again!

See You guys,

David & Ruben ;)
