Shift Worker Training Schedule

Shift workers, balancing long shifts and climbing goals, are advised to prioritize recovery from work shifts and climbing training fatigue. Short, concise training sessions, like hangboarding or strength exercises during breaks, can help bridge gaps between climbing sessions. Adjusting the schedule to ensure high-quality sessions and engaging in short but effective workouts can prevent overtraining and maintain consistency.
