More on training, looks like age doesn't stop us.... I've hardly climbed for 2 years, and Kundalini Yoga as kept me as a very good level...so time for me too...to train for climbing with the yoga to...
I'm amazed how yoga has improved my climbing, not just on the flexibility, coordination, core...but mainly on the breathing and being focus and in neutral mind....seems to get rid of blocs like fears....I've found that I save more on my strength....

Salut Laurence!
Thanks for posting all those links. Exactly the type of inspiration I need right now.
We met at the party after Stevie showed the film in Ljubljana. Great memories! - and Tomaž was still there. Maybe you'll remember me - tall, french spoken, oldish. Stevie told me to "be care full". I stick to that.
You are great people!
Santé!

Thought I couldn't do it this morning, shoulder was bad, nothing in the basement, useless. Got up, coffee, put on some music, did 1000 pull ups, with some good stuff.
Finger strength is up,
power is up
endurance is up
Love it!
How do you those pull ups? Reps of what? With how many minutes of rest usually?

Hi, thanks,
Stevie does his 1000 very fast, rep of 40 to 5/10 depending on the size of the holes/edges...
I take a couple of hours...(though I haven't done a 1000 for a while...)
Rest a bit in between sets....not to long....
It's good to start easy with 300 then make sure you rest properly before your next section, resting is a key... and go to 400.....depending on your form, no need to send yourself to hospital or get injured.....
Stretch before and after the session,
most of the time we add press ups to....at the end of the training....
Now I mix a bit of pull ups with dead hangs....it seems to work better for me....Yoga has helped me with my climbing I don't need to be as strong as I used to....it helps me in flexibility, coordination, peaceful mind, and I breath better....I'm amazed how much it has change my climbing, ability to move, and use less strength.
good luck....
Laurence

The yoga I do&teach is Kundalini Yoga, lots of pranayama(breathing) and a good work on your mind....and super good for your core.....Most yoga are very good, I found that one very complete....you don't have to be super flexible to start....it's not just a yoga about postures, it's very physical, mental and spiritual....
You have to make your own experience and find the yoga&teacher which work for you!
I'm working on making a little program for climbers...
Best
Laurence

Stevie has a great blog and always gets a read from me. But Stevie... why can't we leave blog comments and waste all your training time as you type out answers to our silly questions?

Thanks Ed, always great to be inspired! One of our great inspiration is a 72 years old friend, a very keen runner, when we met him his was 56 years old and we thought , waouh we would like to be like him when we will be 56! And now we would to like to be like him when we will be 72!!! (you can check on Stevie'e people page he is called Al Evans!) So I guess they will be more training tips coming the next few years!!! :)
Thanks J and Thanks Russ( that's exactly why you can't post comments, though you can email Stevie via his FB, he will answer...)
