Training regime a la Schubert

Jakob Schubert who has made a record by winning seven straight WC's in 2011 gives some insight from his training. "If I train for Lead I start in the beginning of January with power training. I go 15 times over seven weeks in the fitness gym. Beside that I also climb and do a special training on crimps, slopers and pinches. In March I train maximum power, so mostly routes where I need a lot of breaks and bouldering. In May I begin the endurance training. Two days a week I climb twice a day (morning bouldering and evening endurance, 70 move boulders). Two days I only do routes and one day only bouldering. So five days a week, in total about 23 hours. Jakob tries to combine this with outdoors and three days ago, as an example, he bouldered in Zillertal where he did four 8A's and four 7C+'s, including two flashes. (c) Ferdinand EliAs Holzkencht
