Climbing Conditioning Series - Bench Press to Compress
Bench to Compress | 11 August 2026 | 18:00 – 20:00
A focus on the bench press — a movement that's both antagonistic to climbing and a builder of the tension you need on the wall. Mehnert will break down the technique in full, showing you how to press both safer and stronger.
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.
This is the same workshop series that ran from March to May this year, so if you missed it the first time round, here's your chance to jump in.
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.
New to strength training or fine-tuning your technique? Either way, these workshops will give you the tools to train smarter and climb stronger.
Upcoming workshops:
28 July — Breathing, Pull-up progressions and Split Squat to Rockover.
11 August — Bench Press to Compress
25 August — Knee & Shoulder Health
8 September — Squat for Safety and Bounce
