What we liked

  • + Exercise-focused format makes it easy to build a gym session
  • + Covers antagonist and core work that climbers often skip
  • + Pairs well with Horst's broader training book

Trade-offs

  • - Less guidance on technique and tactics than all-round guides
  • - Photo-based exercise descriptions still need careful form checks
