Background: 33 year old male, athlete most of my life, currently weekend warrior with a desk job. main focus - rock climbing
Question: Looking for advice on programming with main concern of overloading central nervous system (CNS)
My main purpose for training is rock climbing and mountaineering. For next several months I will be doing a lot of climbing max strength work (isometric finger hangs, iso pulls, hard bouldering, etc.) Plan is to do 2-3 of such sessions a week to allow for recovery and adaptation with easy aerobic work in between sessions. I was considering adding S&S protocol for overall development, but now I am starting to worry that if I do too much I will put too much stress on my CNS, especially if I do S&S 5-6 times a week. Is there a good way to incorporate S&S into my rock climbing training program? If so, would it make sense to do it on same days as climbing and completely rest between sessions, or would it make sense to do S&S between climbing days? Splitting training into PM and AM sessions is also an option. What would be some of the signs of CNS fatigue?
