Two Key Principles
The video states that building climber-like back strength comes down to two things: frequency and progressive overload.
[00:17]
Training Frequency
Train pulling muscles about three times per week. One session might include many rowing exercises, while another later in the week could include pull-ups and unweighted lat pulldowns for volume.
[00:29]
Progressive Overload
Gradually increase the weight used in weighted pull-ups and all other exercises over time. Patience is key.
[00:41]
Expectations and Results
If you prioritize pulling muscles, you will see improvement. You likely won't match the genetic talent of Magnus Midtbø, but you will become significantly stronger and more muscular.

[00:02] просто безумие, дружище. Мне понравилось, как он ответил: "Да, он чертовски хорош". Да уж, это очень напряженно. Вы можете спросить себя: как мне немного почувствовать эту энергию и силу альпиниста? И на самом деле речь идёт всего о двух вещах.
[00:17] И на самом деле речь идёт всего о двух вещах. Один из них — частота. Нужно тренировать мышцы, отвечающие за тягу, примерно три раза в неделю. Возможно, ваша тренировка будет включать в себя тренировка будет включать в себя много упражнений на греблю. А позже на неделе у вас может быть тренировка, в
[00:29] которой вы будете выполнять подтягивания и тяги верхнего блока без отягощения для увеличения объема. Вторая особенность — это прогресс. Со временем вам нужно постепенно увеличивать вес, который вы используете при подтягиваниях с отягощением
[00:41] , увеличивать вес во всех остальных упражнениях, проявлять терпение и какой-то момент, если вы действительно уделите первостепенное внимание мышцам, отвечающим за тягу, все наладится . Сможете ли вы стать таким же талантливым, как Магнус Мидтбё? Скорее всего,
[00:54] нет, потому что он своего рода генетический феномен, известный подобными вещами. Но станете ли вы значительно сильнее в тяговых мышцах и, probably much more jacked? Hell, yes, you absolutely will.
