Stefano's 9b training secret

Stefano Ghisolfi, who just did the FA of Lapsus 9b in Adonno and who is competing in the WC in Kranj this weekend, tells us how he trains. "I didn't train specifically for the route, the best training was trying it a lot and of course I train endurance for world cup so it is connected." His trainer is Roberto Bagnoli. Stefano's training is divided in four phases and what is interesting, he goes 100 % in the last session, two days before the competition. - In January, I begin with power, with a lot of bouldering and few moves on the wall and a system board. Then I do more moves in the second phase, not endurance but power endurance. Later, I use to do circuits from 30 to 60 move until one month before the first comp. In these periods I train 5-6 days per week and some days I have double session. During competition season I do from 3 to 5 sessions per week. More specific and similar to the competition format and moves. During this I use to climb outdoors and doing circuits indoors. I normally have just one rest day before a comp and during the day before I do three-four 30 moves maximum circuits or routes with 30 minutes rest in between. (c) Enrico Veronese
