Climbing Conditioning Series - Bench Press
7 April — Bench Press
This workshop focuses on the bench press as an important antagonistic exercise for climbers. Building pressing strength not only balances the pulling demands of climbing but can also improve overall body tension on the wall. Mehnert will break down the full technique of the movement so you can bench press more safely and effectively while building strength.
Want to climb stronger, move better, and stay injury-free? Join experienced coach Mehnert Engelbrecht for a series of practical strength workshops designed specifically for climbers.
Each session focuses on key exercises and movement patterns that support climbing performance through antagonistic strength training, improved technique, and injury prevention. Mehnert will break down proper form, explain how each exercise benefits climbers, and help you get the most out of your training.
Whether you're new to strength training or looking to refine your technique, these workshops will give you the tools to train smarter and climb stronger.
