I've tried this exercise several times and it is indeed VERY hard to get the intensity right. I've never really felt like I get much out of it so this is a very welcome video!

For my power endurance training, I like doing 3-limb/paraclimb training on autobelay on routes ~4 grades below my max (5.7 - 5.9). Rest 0-3 minutes between climbs until I haven't quite caught my breath yet. For these, I try to climb more dynamic and powerfully rather than technical and efficient.

I did tbis and had such fun. I did it a bit different by giving myself a number of options to climb and if I was feeling like I was too tired I would do one of the easier problems also was fun to do different routes instead of the same problem 3x.

It‘s hard to have this exercise in your plan but it definitely pays off. Got to love the boulder triples in my plan 😍💪🏼

[conormow]

Great video!
I had these prescribed in my lattice training plan, but I didn't know what exactly to do - the description was a bit vague.

I'm looking forward to hitting the wall!

I would be interested in drills to train/focus on body tension throughout the whole chain. Thanks for bringing on the quality training content 🤙

[mirkomazzotta]

I would like to see a video about 3x4 aeróbic base (aeróbic capacity protocol) cause i Really don’t understand at all. Thank you guys you’re awesome!!

How often do you recommend incorporating this drill into our sessions? Is this something I could be doing 2-3 times a week, or should I keep it to one session only?

[jakobbauz]

I sometimes do a couple of easy boulders one after the other at the end of my bouldering session. I try to do them with good form which can be quite hard when I'm already really fatigued. I'm like on a V5/V6 level and I've been destroyed enough to fall off a V3 or easier because I just couldn't actually close my hands any more...

Why is it not as good what I'm doing?

[nicolasc.]

I was wondering what else you could add with this exercise to make a full session. I've heard it is not recommended to work on both the max strength and the endurance in a single session. So no limit bouldering before this exercise right ?

[ada-fepb]

can something similar to this be done by top roping since routes are longer? even doing a top roping problem 2x times back to back

[bobwear]

Close captioning kept saying power rangers instead of power endurance and I'm not mad 😅

[darkywild]

What app was being used for the timer?

[iggimoore]

Great, I do this a lot. Can you do the Style Triads next please? 😊

[dark-o]

Make 4x4 Great Again and add them to the Crimpd :)

[jrthhfdff]

Doesn't it make more sense to do this on a standardized board

[danielmacdonough]

So basically 4x4s and circuit training. Nothing new here.
