Most climbers these days are familiar with the idea of campus board training. However, there is a misconception that campus board training is an exercise that only the most experienced climbers should pursue. Wrong! If you're bouldering in the V3-V4 grade range, the strength enhancing results that come as a result of campus board training will be greatly beneficial to your climbing performance.

The Swedish summer was long and warm and made the climbing condition terrible. After a 2 week long trip to Ceuse I quickly realized I had to give up my dreams on Swedish granite. Instead I decided to get insanely strong for whatever outdoor project that might come up in the future. I turned into a gym rat. I got obsessed with how much weight I could add on my pull-ups and how far I could pull between
