Climbing is a skill sport, but we need a foundation of strength to maximize our skills. In this book, you will learn the building blocks of developing an optimal level of general strength and then adding specific climbing strength. Focusing both on gym-based strength training and specific finger strength training, the programs outlined in Unstoppable Force are designed to keep you climbing harder, longer, and free of injury. By developing a high level of strength, you can better withstand the rigors of hard specific climbing practice. Whether you are just looking to brush up on some fundamental exercises in the gym or are looking for a comprehensive training program for strength, this is the book you need.

This book features 288 full-color pages on strength training and hangboard training specifically for the rigors of hard climbing.
