CLIMBER'S CROSS TRAINING WORKOUT (INTERMEDIATE)
15-20 minute workout, specific to climbing
OVERVIEW & PURPOSE
My goal in the intermediate workout is to increase the intensity from the beginner's workout and try to get a good pump and sweat going. I suggest taking 0 breaks between exercises (Nada one!). Increase intensity by increasing reps by 5 or the time by 15 seconds. Remember, continue to focus on form more than anything.
