2 hours of indoor rock climbing. Struggling with building a training schedule that lets me do S&S, but doesn't burn me out for climbing. Debating taking the day before off, but I always am sore the day after. Would love to hear how other climbers schedule their workouts!!

I passed out last night with pain relief creme and a heating pad on my shoulder. I messed up my right shoulder, upper back, and ribs rolling an ATV in Colorado a few years ago (and didn't go to the hospital after), and it just hasn't ever felt right since then. I went to physical therapy (too long after the incident), but unfortunately didn't find it especially helpful - they told me it was chronic pain and I was doomed...or something similar. I I probably could have done my S&S but opted for a day of rest.

Comes down to several things:
What are your real goals. Climbing? (And if so what specifically?) Once that is sorted out... then it's way easier to plan a training regimen. S&S might not enter into the equation at all depending upon what your climbing aspirations are.
Cragging, trad, sport, multi-pitch, big-wall, aid, bouldering, mountaineering, hard alpine, etc. all have different training requirements; and those too can vary depending upon what level you are currently at, and where you want to be.

Climbing as a pastime and climbing as a way of life are pretty different.

The other thing(s) is what is your current level of fitness, 'training age', and tolerance for work.
My example may be atypical, but I have been hard climbing for 4.5 decades, along with a wide variety of additional training activities. I can usually tolerate a higher volume of work. Translated... S&S, Climbing, Run or Ride, all in the same day.
Example: Today is S&S, Grip Training, Cycling. Tomorrow is S&S, and Climbing

This is something that you will need to be patient with and evolve into.

Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss in detail...

Thank you for the advice!! I guess based on my current level of fitness I am going to have to work my way into being able to do it all in a day! For now I'm trying to build up S&S and climb once a week, and fit in more as my fitness levels increase (and my shoulder gets stronger!).
 
Thursday February 6

Did some indoor bouldering at a hipster-rock gym down town! Felt like a kid in a (very busy) candy store. I'm seeing improvements in my grip strength and upper body strength. I started a few months ago on V0s and V1s, and sailed a V3 today!

I'm struggling some with consistency, but I'm here today! This week I will be in the field all week on a job site, and the following I will be in Florida visiting family. I am going to try and do at minimum the S&S warmup, and depending on how long the days are and how bad the terrain is, will base training on that. In Florida I will be sans kettlebell (btw does anyone fly with their KBs??), so I will be trying to get in naked get-ups and whatever I can manage!

My fiance and I are gearing up to climb Mt. Mitchell in the Appalachians in 2 months - which means I need to dial in on these workouts!! We will also be adding some trail running/hiking to help prepare.

Turns out working out with your partner can have some unexpected distractions, ooops.
