Scarpa Boostic
Mountain climbing offers a different type of workout that works different muscle groups than traditional workouts. The primary muscle used when climbing is the latissimus dorsi which is the muscle that is located on the side of the climbers back. The muscle is used when arms are pulled inward and can be strengthened with workouts like lat pulls, single arm bent over rows and close grip chin ups. A climber can greatly improve their climbing abilities and timing if this muscle is regularly exercised and strengthen. Other areas that should be considered when looking to improve your climbing abilities are biceps, forearms, and Gastrocnemius (calves). Gym exercises that will help strengthen these areas are bicep curls, dumbbell wrist flexion, reverse curl, farmer walks, double calf raises, jumping jacks and seal jumps. By strengthening these areas a climber can both improve their climbs as well as their experience when climbing to get the maximum in all aspects of their activity. Another areas that should be seriously considered when climbing is the equipment used when climbing. A good chalk will help maximize grip and help avoid slippage due to sweat. Another item that should be looked into is a proper climbing shoe. Climbing shoes help the climber grip properly onto the side of a wall especially when faced with more slippery surfaces like smoother rocks or interior climbing walls. The grip of the shoe helps add traction in order to propel the climber up the wall with more ease. The extremely curved arch also assists climbers with better accuracy when climbing in order to allow the climber to place the foot in the right spot in order to gain proper support when moving up the wall. This is especially important with climbing as usually the surfaces being used for support are much smaller than typically surfaces and therefore require better accuracy.
