REALITY CHECK
IF YOU'VE BEEN STUCK AT THE SAME GRADE FOR 6 MONTHS, A YEAR, TWO YEARS -
THIS PAGE IS FOR YOU.
Because the problem isn't your talent. It isn't your gym. It isn't your genetics.
The problem is the way you've been training.
And the fix is not what you think.
THE STORY
THREE YEARS AGO I FAILED THE SAME 5.12A
FOUR TIMES IN A ROW.
I trained more. I climbed more. I tried every hangboard protocol YouTube could throw at me. I read every magazine article. I bought every training plan. None of it worked. I almost quit climbing. Then I started a podcast and got to ask the best climbers in the world one question: 'What's the ONE training protocol that broke your plateau?' Fifty interviews in, I noticed a pattern. The pros who broke through didn't train more than me. They trained differently. Most of them were doing protocols I'd never heard of. Some were spending less total time in the gym and getting better results. I started taking notes. Compiling the protocols. Asking follow-up questions. By interview 30 I had a system. By interview 50 I had a curriculum. Endurance Hacks for Busy Climbers is that system.

The False Belief
Most climbers believe three things that keep them stuck
FALSE
I don't have enough time to train like a pro.
The pros I interviewed typically train 8-15 hours a week. Most weekend warriors cram in 6-10 hours of low-quality volume. The pros train less volume but with higher intensity and better sequencing. The fix isn't more time — it's smarter time.
FALSE
I've already hit my genetic ceiling.
The climbers I interviewed who broke through plateaus of 3, 5, even 10 years did it with protocol changes, not genetic ones. Their physiology didn't change. Their stimulus did. If you've been doing the same hangboard protocol for a year, you haven't plateaued — you've adapted to that specific stimulus.
FALSE
Endurance is something you're born with.
Endurance is trainable in 8-12 weeks if you use the right protocols. Most climbers train endurance by climbing more. The pros train it with specific protocols (BFR, Zone 2 hangboard, drop sets) that target the physiological systems that actually matter.
THE NEW BELIEF
YOU DON'T NEED MORE TIME.
YOU NEED SMARTER PROTOCOLS.
The pros who broke through weren't training harder. They weren't training longer. They were training differently - and most importantly, they were following a programmed sequence that built on itself week after week. That's what this system gives you.
THE MECHANISM
ENDURANCE HACKS IS BUILT ON
3 PILLARS
Most climbing training courses are 'here is a hangboard protocol, do it forever.' This is different.
01
PROTOCOLS
Precision bio-energetic drills tailored to forearm capillarization. You build local aerobic capacity and rapid lactate clearance right on your home board without wasting hours on junk volume.
02
SEQUENCING
The scientific order of load and recovery. Stacking density blocks before power output prevents systemic burnout and forces structural adaptation in high-threshold motor units.
03
PROGRAMMING
Automated schedule integration designed around a demanding 9-to-5 life. 45-minute micro-sessions that fit your week without compromising outdoor weekend redpoint attempts.
Together, these three pillars give you what the pros have: a repeatable, fatigue-resistant engine that keeps your forearms fresh on pitch 4.

THE 6 MODULES
What You Get
MODULE 1
Overcoming ISO
The finger strength protocol. 7-3-5 tempo hangs that build tendon-specific strength without joint stress. The single most-mentioned protocol from my interviews.
MODULE 2
Zone 2 Hangboard Climbing
The endurance protocol. Sustained low-intensity hangs that build the aerobic base most climbers are missing. Done on a hangboard, not a wall.
MODULE 3
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)
The recovery-friendly gains protocol. Get the metabolic stimulus of heavy training without the load. 4 sets of ladders. Climbers using BFR see gains in 4-6 weeks that usually take 3 months.
MODULE 4
10 Minutes of Fury
The 'I have no time' protocol. 4-station circuit. High intensity, low duration. Done in 10 minutes. Builds work capacity, finger strength, and anaerobic endurance.
MODULE 5
Drop Set Pull-Ups
The power-endurance protocol. Drop sets through 4 grip positions. The single best way to train for sustained hard climbing.
MODULE 6
Building Mitochondrial Density
The 8-week progression. Where the gains compound. The protocol that turns everything else from 'I'm training' to 'I'm getting stronger.' Includes the weekly programming template.
BONUS
Programming Supplemental Docs
Weekly templates. Equipment guides. Progression rules. The 8-week send plan.
BONUS
5 Follow-Along Videos
VO2 Max Snack Break. Abrahangs from the Door Frame. Stronger Fingers in 10 Minutes. More Power in 10 Minutes. Testing Critical Force. The exact protocols from the pros, on video.
QUALIFICATION CRITERIA
Is This Right For You?
Who This Is For
- You're stuck at your current grade and you've been stuck for 3+ months
- You climb 2-4x/week and can't (or won't) train 15+ hours
- You've tried generic hangboard protocols and they haven't worked
- You're serious enough to do 30 minutes of focused work 3x/week
- You want a system, not another magazine article
Who This Is NOT For
- You're already climbing V10/5.13+ and looking for elite-level programming (you need a coach)
- You want to climb 7 days a week and don't care about recovery
- You're not willing to follow a programmed sequence for 8 weeks
THE OFFER
Total value: $802 Regular price: $247
Founding member price: $197
Bonus for founding members: The first 100 buyers get the course for $49 (not $247), lifetime access to the Struggle Programming membership (no monthly fee, ever), and a private Q&A call with me in the first 30 days.
THE GUARANTEE
Try the system for 30 days.
Do the workouts. Follow the programming. If you don't feel stronger and your endurance doesn't noticeably improve, email me and I'll refund every penny. No questions, no fight. I can offer this guarantee because the protocols work. They worked for the 50+ climbers I interviewed. They'll work for you.
Doors close at midnight.
COUNTDOWN TIMER
The course opens at founding member pricing ($49) for the first 100 climbers. After that, the price goes to $247. After 200, the price goes to $297. After the launch window closes, the course goes dormant until I run it again. If you've been stuck, this is your moment. You don't need more time. You need smarter protocols. You don't need to train like a pro. You need to train like the busy climbers I interviewed who broke through anyway.
I'll see you inside. — Ryan Devlin
