Being a nerd I'm also into -Zatsiorsky - Science and Practise of Strength Training (there is a german edition) -Verkoshansky and Siffs Supertraining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 I know Honk, i have it. I had Supertraining once but sold it, because it was to hard to read or to scientific for me. A gerraman edition of it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have a pretty good library of training books (2 shelves full) covering all aspects of fitness but I'll recommend one most of you may not have read - Performance Rock Climbing by Goodard and Neuman. It's well worth reading if you train with weights. A couple others are good if you are into more than just lifting are The New Alpinism and The Rock Climbers Training Manual. Yes they are all climbing books - but as a group climbers have some of the best forearm and hand strength in the world - and endurance that we all should envy. They do some things in training worth our knowing about. Things most of you have never tried I imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 One thing the climbing books stress heavily is a "rest" period - followed by a "base building" period - then strength - then power etc. Something lifters have a real problem doing - we want to simply hit it hard and heavy from day one - and then we wonder why we plateau so quickly and then get hurt. Grip guys and lifters in general need to learn from "athletes" in other sports better ways forward. It's all out there - read some things outside your box and learn something new.

I'll vouch for one of Chris' climbing books as well. The Performance Rock Climbing book is very interesting and has a lot of good practical, science, and training info in it.
