I've got the urge to do a bit more systematic training, not just climbing whilly nilly when I feel like, but somewhat more structured. But I know nothing about training.
What book would be a good starter, and does it have some easy to follow schedules for a rooky like me? (climbing 6b-6c in the gym, 6a outside, wanting to improve).
You should also check out logical progression by Steve bechtel. It's much simpler and easier to understand the basic concepts of training. Also a bit more flexible with the workouts, which I like. Rock climbers training Manuel was a little to rigid with how structured the training is. I bought both books and couldn't stick with the training Manuel. But logical progression was much better for me. Good luck
RCTM is a fairly restrictive (not much wiggle room in scheduling) program that I don't think is ideal for beginners. The macro level info you will glean from the book may help form a training program. I'd also check out Horst as he tends to be a bit more encyclopedic in his approach
