Hey guys! I’m 15, been climbing for 10 months (not including quarantine 7 months) have climbed up to v8 in my gym and v6 on tension board. Solely because of the fact that I’m a teenager I have been fortunate enough to progress fast.

However I would like to optimize my training/climbing days to progress as fast as physically possible strength and technique wise.

Right now I climb 5 days a week with two training days focused on fingers, pull-up, and core strength, and 3 climbing days where I repeat my hardest sends, project new ones, and work on flash grade.

I’m worried that I could be climbing/ training too much or too little. If I’m going too little then obviously I could be progressing faster, if I’m going to much then I could actually be putting in more work just to not progress as quickly because of the amount of rest days I’m getting.

My sessions often last around 4 hours. Most of my friends will get tired and leave the gym 2 hours in. I’m not sure if this means I’m not pushing myself hard enough in these first two hours because I always still have energy after.

There also could be issues with my training

For fingers I do a 2 hours board training session ei tension board. I also have started to do some campus board along with that

Then for pull-up training I put on a 25 pound weighted vest and do a variation of different pull-ups exercises completing around 10 sets of 8 - 10 reps. I also do un weighted uneven pull-ups to work on my 1 arm

On top of this I do a lot of core near the end of training sessions, that’s pretty straight forward and I am not too worried about it so I won’t get into detail.

Finally on climbing days (3x per week) I’ll warm up, repeat my hardest previous sends with more control, and try to send some projects, after like an hour of that I’ll move to tension board and train on that for around 2 hours.

Honestly I’m not sure if what I’m doing is efficient. Even if it is efficient I’m sure there are ways I could be even more effective with my training to improve faster, I’m just not sure how that could be done

If you see any thing that could be improved about my routine: the schedule, training, length, ect Let me know!
