Progressive Loading: The 2–5% Rule for Tissue S...
The safest way to strengthen tendons and pulleys is through progressive loading: increasing intensity or volume by only 2–5% weekly. This principle prevents chronic overload, protects against pulley tears, and...

Acute vs Chronic Injury Mechanisms
Acute and chronic climbing injuries follow the same rule: load exceeds capacity. Acute injuries come from sudden force spikes, while chronic injuries develop slowly through repeated micro-overload. This article explains...

Joint Integrity: Stability vs Mobility Demands ...
Climbers overload joints when they use mobility joints for stability or force stability joints into extreme mobility ranges. This article explains the mechanical roles of shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips,...
