Thanks Andrew. For the max strength routine, I do 4 reps x 5 sets of box step up and split squat with 45% added bodyweight (holding kettlebells or weight plates). Although it has been 6-8 weeks, I feel I can’t add more weight and still be able to perform 4×5 sets.
My objectives are mountaineering routes like the Matterhorn (Cresta del Leone), Biancograt on Piz Bernina, or moderately long rock climbing routes in the Alps with +500m/+1000m approach and 6-12 pitches. I tend to limit each outing to 2-3 days and rest between trips.
