Seven;...if you can go to work most every day...you can go climbing most everyday........Beer, TV, and climbing......the rest can wait....

when i first started climbing i became a bum not because i wanted to get better but because i couldn't get enough. climbing is NOT an ego sport and if you think it's a competition you will always loose. there are so many amazing climbers out there and naturally talented or not they do it for themselves. climb when you get the itch and you WILL get better period. the view is better at the top!

I shoot for 8-9

But more seriously after 3-5 days on I usually look for one off.

Fred Beckey would suggest 7 days I'd guess.

Ultimately, it comes down to how YOUR body works. No person responds to muscular stress or recovery the same. Read as much as you can about the subject. Get personal recommendations by any and all who are willing, and do samples of those systems. After all the R&D, make an educated and informed decision on what feels right to YOU. your body’s own intuition is a good indicator on what works for you. This will depend on how long you’ve been climbing, what style you are training for, length of session, your age, health concerns, indoor or out, and the list goes on. We all want that one sentence answer that solves it all. The cure all. It simply does not exist. I’m sure Alex Honnold, Beth Rodden, Daniel woods and many others were told that if they followed such and such then all there wildest training goals would come to fruition. The fact is all of those crushers train completely different. That includes how they choose to rest(and yes, everyone rests, even these crushers). Listen to those who have gone before you, but never take anyone’s advice as all encompassing. That includes my own advice. Hope you find your sync. Cheers

Pretty sure it was a troll post to start. Why bring it back to life?

I literally saw it on the top of MP forums posts. Didn’t try to start anything. It’s a pleasure of mine to share info about literally the only thing I’ve done my whole life. I don’t know what a troll is but it doesn’t sound good. I’m not trying to start anything except a love for this incredible sport.

climbing friend,

thelauging it is out loud!!!!

everyone is knowing that the climbing is for sandbagging the other, just hide in the bushes until someone they struggles and they screams on route you have wire through countless ascent, then you come down and casually chuck a lap. yes, the peoplez enjoy the climbing to feel better about themselves grasping external validation crushing higher higher grades, more and more chiseled abs, try to fill the void the emptiness inside.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
