- Principle Based Training is a great foundation for starting a training program to support your climbing, and a dependable way to make sure you see results in that program.
In this video Steve discusses the 6 fundamental principles Climb Strong follows, along with 2 other essential elements that are a bit more nebulous but perhaps even more important.

Hi Steve. Good to see you back on youtube!
Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your knowledge. So much content out there is flashy nonsense mostly made for visual appeal and clicks. Your stuff is the meat and potatoes I'm looking for! The real deal training info. You're great at explaining these concepts and whoever edited this video did a great job. Love the transitions and audio. Please keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback and glad to hear it was valuable!
Excellent stuff 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Something I never understood about progression: Ideally, as I can understand, progression is supposed to reflect the capacity increase over time (simply, progressing means you CAN do more/harder than before). But then we get a circular argument kind of - say if in every session we give 80-100% of our capacity to a chosen aspect, then if we improve, we progress, since our 90% will grow in absolute terms, if we don't improve, we can't progress - and if that's so, why is progression (not only here, in many posts and articles) is presented as an independent aspect?
Progression is of course part of whatever exercise we are trying to push forward and is not independent in that sense, but we list it as a principle in training because if we just go in to the gym and randomly exercise and don't apply the principle of progressive overload our results will be just that - random and inconsistent. This is especially true as we get closer to our physical potential and acquire high levels of skill. if you progress the exercise with appropriate rest and nutrition, etc. for enough sessions you will improve, the trick in climbing is that it requires a high level of strength, power, endurance (often), AND skill - so training is complex and is typically not best served by a linear or "classic" periodization model. We have to keep everything "simmering" to some degree (and maintain/improve our skills) as we work on progressing a specific focus to really see results in our climbing.
Good to see Alex here. I’ve done a training cycle with him and felt so strong.
Glad to hear you saw good results! Alex is an awesome coach, we are proud to have him leading our team.
