## Description

Conditioning for Climbers: The Complete Exercise Guide (How To Climb Series) [Horst, Eric] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Conditioning for Climbers: The Complete Exercise Guide (How To Climb Series)

Review: Essential for climbers - Horst is prolific in this space and knows what he is talking about. This has some excellent tips for conditioning, especially in the area of injury prevention. I have worked many of the exercises listed within into my conditioning program with good results. The only caveat is that he tends to overemphasize sport-specificity to the point of making general conditioning seem under-important. Particularly useful are the self-evaluation questionnaires, which can identify the particular area you need to train (and not just physical training, which is covered by this book, but also technical and mental training). While these self-evaluations are a part of all of Horst's books (including Training or Climbing, and How to Climb 5.12), the evaluations in this book are much more elaborate than those in any of the others. In spite of a lot of overlap with Training for Climbing and How to Climb 5.12, every climber should still have this book in his or her library.
Review: Shorter learning curve. - I'm less than a year in after being introduced to rock climbing. I have had this book less than a month now and it has changed the way I view and critique the way I climb. It has helped me tremendously in the past couple of weeks as I have been keeping to a plan and set of routines in which that helps me grow positively without injuries. My learning curve is becoming smaller as I learn more about my body. I'm glad to have purchased this great read it has benefited me greatly since I have purchased it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for climbers
*by J***E on June 16, 2012*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best conditioning book for climbing.
*by M***. on November 12, 2013*

This is a comprehensive guide that I would recommend to anyone that wants to improve their climbing. The book has a lot of focus on injury prevention, sport specific conditioning (obviously), general conditioning, nutrition and training micro and macro cycles. I'm sure I missed something, but I can definitely tell you it has made me a better climber overall, after reading it sparingly. Getting advice from other climbers at the gym and at the crag is good and much appreciated, but this book helps you find your weaknesses as a climber with a great self-assessment questionnaire, and outlines what you need to do to get better.
