The effects of two maximum grip strength training methods using the same effort duration and different edge depth on grip endurance in elite climbers

Fingerboard training has been shown to improve finger strength and endurance. Load is the most important training metric to increase maximum strength. Load can be manipulated on the fingerboard either by reducing the edge depth,

Gaining more from doing less? The effects of a one-week deload period during supervised resistance training on muscular adaptations

Deloading is a commonly applied strategy, although there’s little empirical evidence analyzing its effects in subsequent training cycles. This study therefore aims to analyze whether including a one-week deload period influences muscle growth, strength, endurance,

Exploring the Dose-Response Relationship Between Estimated Resistance Training Proximity to Failure, Strength Gain, and Muscle Hypertrophy: A Series of Meta-Regressions

One parameter that recently gained interest in strength & hypertrophy training is proximity to failure. It describes when to end a set. This metaanalysis provides a more nuanced understanding of how different proximities to failure

The effects of prioritizing lead or boulder climbing among intermediate climbers

This study aimed to examine if prioritizing bouldering or lead climbing can lead to specific improvements without sacrificing general climbing abilities.
