How many days a week do you go indoor bouldering to supplement

2.

I think daily would be overtraining and potentially injurious. Bouldering can be pretty hard on your body.

I shoot for 2 days at the climbing gym, 3 days riding, 1 day lifting, 1 day stretching.

why is bouldering a good sport to complement cycling? thanks, real question, i just dont know and im curious about it

not BJJ?

both are good for overall strenght and therefore injury prevention but BJJ technniques are ground based and therefore better to for learning how to fall etc.

My alternative sport to cycling is racquetball. Boldering seems like a fun thing to do though. No more sore hands during long descents after you spend some time climbing right?

Cross training thread.

Yes bouldering is loads of fun and it's very satisfying when you climb a difficult wall.

Not that anon but bouldering trains the upper body where cyclcing mostly trains the limbs and slightly the core.
Not training the upper body will result into t-rex mode, with which i'm familiar.

Unfortunately not the case.
Sore hands from cycling are symptomatic of shoulder and elbow issues.

Bouldering tends to exasperate joint issues, not help them.

If you want to fix that shit, heavy-duty core training is the necessity. Planks for hours.

People should just do what they will find fun, racket ball is fine. the only 'sport' you should do to cross train another sport is progressive weight training. All over 'cross training' is a meme, you just pick something for verity, something that you'll like, enjoy getting good at

That's fine up until you're about 27 years old.
Once you can't coast on youth fitness, you have to take a more scientific approach, or do what most people do and get fat really fast.

Not eating more than you need to isn't really super scientific desu senpai.

The only cross training you need for cycling is the weight room. Everything else is just shit you do to have fun.
