Thanks Scott.

I guess that leads to a follow on question.

In the later weeks of the weighted uphill carries/ME portion my ME sessions can be 1-2 hours in my local hills while trying to hit the desired elevation gain (ie 2000′, 2500′, and 3000′, TftNA pg 238-239).

Some weeks doing enough volume to do 90% more low intensity duration is not realistic for my schedule. (IE 120 minutes of ME would need 18 additional hours of Z1-2 that week)

That doesn’t include upper body ME right? (Treadwall, Treadmill Hand walking, etc)

Should I reduce my weighted hill ascent goals during Base training if I can’t keep it 10%? (IE instead of 3000′ keep it at 1500′-2000′ but increase the weight I’m using to reduce the volume)

Thanks again

Thanks. After little more reading it sounds like what I’m proposing might be more of a ME workout (like the Ice Beast Workout) rather than Max Str. I’ll use it like that. Thanks for your time Scott.

Thanks Scott. Very sound advice for on ice and I will apply some of those ideas in my future climbs.

My question was more with the methodology of training. Simply put is it better to do a specific tread wall Max Strength workout that mimics the real thing as close as possible? Or better to do the 1 arm hangs, lock offs, and step ups discussed in the New alpinism book in order to isolate the muscles used. Doing the movements on the TW may help with some mental training as well with getting the sequence down of placing a screw but that is more skill training. Thanks for taking a read and I know there may be no clear right and wrong just curious people’s thoughts. Thanks guys.

Thanks Steve.

So just to clarify 1 round of my Max Strength Session during the program is:

– 1 Arm Hangs 4x per side (8s = 1x)
– Step Ups 4x per side
– 1 Arm Locks Offs 4x per side
– 1 Foot Calf Raises 4x per side.

Weighted to give 95% effort as described in your book.

I am going to be hiking and running a good amount so maybe the step ups aren’t necessary during the summer. I do a separate core session every week (toes to bars, planks, compression work).

So I can change it to just:

– 1 Arm Locks Offs 4x per side
* Shoulder Lock off Strength that you mention
– 1 Foot Calf Raises 4x per side.
* I think ice puts a lot more work on calfs than rock so will keep this. I’ve ID’d my calves as a weakness and do a separate calf endurance after Tread wall ARCing.

Thanks again guys.

I have a similar issue and the solution may be the same but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. I have similar calf tenderness (not pain, just soreness) when hiking fast (3-3.5 mph) in my trailrunners, seems to not be an issue hiking steep uphill (quads are feeling it then).

I’ve noticed that I’ve had to increase my pace to keep my HR pushing the AeT after doing Zone 1 for awhile, so it’s a good problem to have. However it does bring the calf weakness to the forefront.

Should I just do more calf raise protocols (like the ones mentioned) in my general strength sessions (which I’m already doing), just more hiking, or is there another solution? I’m starting hill sprints soon and ME later this summer if that provides context.

Sorry if this is redundant but not sure if there is a different solution because it happens with speed rather than gradient.

Thanks
