Have you heard of CARCing? 🤔 It's been around for decades in some form or another, but recently it has become really popular among a number of elite climbers and coaches. Could CARCing be the future?
You may have heard of ARC training, which is short for ‘Aerobic, Respiration and Capillarity’ training. It is to rock climbing what a Zone 2 run is to a mountaineer. It enables climbers to develop the base fitness that climbing performance relies on.
ARC training requires climbing for long periods of time on easy terrain which can be a mental challenge. The term CARCing was defined by Lattice coach Jonny Kydd after he started integrating his ARCing while on long car journeys to work on his project most weeks. This is why the ‘C’ was added, in his bid for efficiency and maximising performance, he swapped climbing practice for light grip training while in the car. 🚗
(⚠️ Please note that we would advise against any form of training whilst driving - see our disclaimer below ⚠️)
But CARCing, due to it being so far from rock climbing practice, is not well established as a form of training.
So, in typical Lattice Training fashion, we set about to devise an experiment to see if CARCing was truly worth the hype! In just 4 weeks, Lattice coach Josh Hadley did over 17 hours of CARCing to see if it improved his endurance… 100, 250 reps later the results are quite incredible. 😲

A bit of extra context to how my endurance improved in these 4 weeks. Day 1. My Critical Force was 31.4%. This is below the average score for 8a/5.13b which is 34% Day 30. My Critical Force was 38.5%. This was above the average score for 8b/5.13d which is 38% These numbers are personalised to my height and gender.

@TijmenHatesads 3 месяца назад

For the injury worries I always wonder how manual labour factors in to training like this. I've never seen a construction worker warm up their wrists and hands: we just showed up (hopefully sober), chugged a cup and a half of coffee with the morning cigarette and grabbed the the tools we needed for the day. Then it's 6-12 hours of laying bricks, drilling holes or tightening nuts. Repeat for 5 days a week, ~45 weeks a year, 30-ish years total with generally little to no finger injuries. Quite some messed up elbow, shoulder and hip joints though. As for a name: call it barking. Barely Aerobic Resistance-training, Kinda.

@Monscent Месяц назад

You also moved your body, arms wrists in various ways before starting intensive work. And not all work on the jobsite is exactly max effort lol. So no real max finger effort = no real finger injuries. But ofc lots of other injuries like you describe. Likely from not doing movements correctly and never working out for longevity.

@TijmenHatesads Месяц назад

@@Monscent honestly, it wasn't uncommon for me to take the bus to work, walk 2 minutes to get to the van, sit and discuss the day before I sat in the passenger seat for an hour. Then when we arrive it's full send immediately, it's not uncommon for hauling stuff off the trailer to be the most risky and intense bit of the day. Not too speak of the rope access jobs where we're in the car for 4 hours, then have 2 hours for a half day job. The only preparatory movement there is punching myself in the dick for quitting school so soon.

If you can set the intensity to contract your forearm muscles correctly I think it could work? Feel free to try it on your other arm and even things back out! 🤣

@999moxy 3 месяца назад

I would like to see if the difficulty to compress the spring was harder, and you did say 5-10 mins at a stronger grip... Would this also train your contact strength, rate of force development etc. After all we don't climb for an hour and we need the muscles to move more blood, so if you recreated a slightly more challenging grip what would the results of that look like?

@LatticeTraining 18 дней назад

In fairness I think "just go out and climb" might be a frustrating standpoint for some people. As an example this year I had my first child and "just go climbing" is not a simple as it sounds anymore. I don't think it is about quick fixes for most people. I think it's about efficiency of training and having options. I expect most people that have the freedom to climb a lot will and won't bother with this.

@stanante 3 месяца назад

Is there a way to gauge the statistical significance of these changes? I assume you take the same data for yourself semi regularly. How do the changes compare in general? Or perhaps sig levels aren't even relevant given how variable your training might be long-term?

@LatticeTraining 3 месяца назад

I think we'd need multiple trials or multiple subjects to calculate statistical significance. Maybe we could determine effect size? But I think it would be misleading in a way, to suggest this is rigorously scientific. I have done this test a fair amount. But it's quite a brutal test so I have gone over a year without testing. If it helps, the past couple of years I've hovered around the same level of endurance as my pre-test. With work life and being new Dad I've mostly bouldered and not been worried about getting fit. I've been a bit higher (CF) in the past, about 34%. But never as high as 38%. And my previous 34% peak was during a season of sport climbing.

why do you ask for statistical significance if you clearly don't fully understand what it means? Statistical "significance" is not the be all end all even in a scientific studies and it's based on an arbitrary threshold of one of several popular methods of statistical analysis

*pumping iron* Like the arnie movie? when i bought these things, when i started climbing, i felt like it made my sessions worse, because i somewhat overtrained. in my opinion these training devices doesn't transfer to any griptype, not even pinches. i also bought one with single finger "buttons". this was even worse, the fingers were quite in pain. hangboard still seems to be the king.

@LatticeTraining 3 месяца назад

Yes totally agree. Not very useful for training climbing strength. But the intention here is to develop a dense capillary bed and more mitochondria, to enhance blood flow and aerobic energy production. This improves recovery and endurance. So you'd only likely notice a difference on long sport climbs or during rest periods.

@sarayahyaie8425 3 месяца назад

I have a question, was Josh said in the video that one should not pump on the forearm while doing the activity? Or I misunderstood? Because I think continuous squeezing for an hour leads to pump

But it's more than one person saying they "feel fitter" after a certain training protocol. I'd say this is closer to a case study than anecdote.

@soccutd77 3 месяца назад

Hey Josh, great video! I know you mentioned intensity quantification is difficult but for people who might want to try to replicate, is there some way you can quantify the amount of force you were squeezing against for an hour? Maybe the grip machine has a value for how much force is needed to close it?

@LatticeTraining 3 месяца назад

I started on the very lowest setting on this devise. I think it might say 5kg but I doubt that is accurate. Because this is essentially threshold training, the intensity will be need to be very individual. It will matter how strong and how fit you are. And these can be quite independent. For example, Jonny Kydd mentioned at the beginning of the vid is WAY stronger than me. But his relative endurance was half what mine was. So I might be training at a higher resistance than him for the same relative outcome. Something I noticed made a big difference was the cadence too. If I started to get a bit too pumped I just slowed down until it felt right. I think going of perceived intensity is best but it takes some awareness and experience that comes with years of training. A cheap digital feedback tool is the future for this stuff. But I personally don't want an edge, ergonomics is everything when you are using it for 60-90 minutes at time.

When I started climbing, my fingers looked really weak. I kind of came up with a similar concept, squeezing a grip trainer around 1000 times per day, most days, and noticed a significant improvement in my climbing. From climbing 5b to my first 6a top-ropes. Intuition says this is more of a thing that would benefit beginners, though.

@immadness4420 3 месяца назад

i would say for beginners, go climbing and no training, maybee some pull ups. If you go from 5b to 6a only with your fingers then work on your technic and footwork and you will go from 6a to 6c lead. I got from 5b to 7b in two years without any Hangboard Session or anything. Now i'm at this point where i need to work for fingerstrenght etc.

@mikegaunt837 3 месяца назад

Interesting experiment and fun video, but there are some pretty big statistical issues (I also acknowledge some of the qualifications that were made): Sample size of one - results aren't generalizable. Only one measurement before and after for each test (as presented in video) - no account for variability (in arm strength, tiredness, injury, etc, etc). No randomization or blinding - potential bias. Using one arm as control - assumes both arms react the same. Low statistical power - hard to detect real effects. More participants and multiple measurements would improve reliability. Sorry for being the fun police :(

@paulgaras2606 2 месяца назад

This is what you would call a case study if it was done by real scientists. The purpose is to cheaply and clearly demonstrate the basis for a hypothesis. Using one side as control is a pretty common method in exercise science. And the actual change observed would qualify as significant, all things considered.

@LatticeTraining 3 месяца назад

I agree more thought needs to go into the tools used. I actually want to try it again with a simple foam ball. Like a stress ball. It feels like it would support all the joints and load the hand evenly.

Would a stress ball be a better tool to get blood flow but less pressure on palm? It would also include the thumb. When I was training for motocross I would run on the treadmill with light weights that had a bit of foam on them squeeze them on/off/on/off as I ran. Damn arm pump.

I don't know how the RFD measurement works, but just looking at the data for the 'after' for the carcing arm it's completely flat in the start compared to the other ones and seems very similar once it starts rising. Could it be that the measurement started a bit too early? It looks to me like the whole graph should be shifted to the left.

Good spot. I did see this too and double checked. I believe it is just the graph that is wrong and the measurement was taken from the first upward inflection.

What level of resistance did you use

I’d also be interested in your power based measurements after having a power training phase, when the endurance training phase that had come before it included carcing, since the slower twitch fibers work to give the faster twitch fibers more endurance over the long run

The control hand also getting stronger might be a demonstration of the cross-education effect!

Yes absolutely. During a dog walk or watching a movie 👌

Are the lattice CF test and the Tindeq CF test relative to each other? For example if he was to test on a tindeq and the lattice setup would the result give a similar percentage?

That's a good question! But I don't actually know. We've never done a reliability comparison between the two methods. But I'd think there is a significant enough difference making comparison fairly unreliable.
