CTS Train Right DVDs - Climbing Series
Available individually, the Climbing Strength, Climbing Power, and Climbing Speed DVDs provide cyclists with specific workouts designed to improve performance on sustained climbs, deliver increased power for changes in pitch and pace, and enhance a cyclist's "agility" to initiate and respond to accelerations and surges on hills of any type.
Climbing Strength: In this 60-minute workout, CTS Premier Coach Nick White takes you through a proven series of intervals designed to increase your sustainable climbing strength. Also included on the disc: a detailed description of the CTS Field Test, a special segment on sports nutrition, and a behind-the-scenes bonus feature about Lance Armstrong's 2008-2009 comeback.
"Climbing strength is not just about riding well on the first ascent of the day, but rather being powerful on third, fourth, fifth climb, and any beyond that." - Chris Carmichael, Founder of Carmichael Training Systems
Climbing Power: In this 60-minute session, CTS Pro Coach Lindsay Hyman delivers a high-intensity workout that will develop your ability to surge, attack, and handle pace changes on climbs. Also included on the disc: a detailed description of the CTS Field Test, a special segment on sports nutrition, and a behind-the-scenes bonus feature about Lance Armstrong's 2008-2009 comeback.
"There's no such thing as a steady climb, and to be a complete climber you need power for surges, attacks, and changes in pitch." - Chris Carmichael, Founder of Carmichael Training Systems
Climbing Speed: In this 60-minute session, CTS Premier Coach Jim Lehman delivers a high-intensity workout that will develop the quickness and "agility" needed to accelerate and hold high speeds on climbs. Also included on the disc: a detailed description of the CTS Field Test, a special segment on sports nutrition, and a behind-the-scenes bonus feature about Lance Armstrong's 2008-2009 comeback.
"To be a great climber, you need more than just strength and power. You also need speed and quickness to get to the summit first." - Chris Carmichael, Founder of Carmichael Training Systems.

CTS Train Right Climbing Series (POWER)
Pros: Great Value
Cons: no con on this dvd
"This DVD is just 1 of a series of 3 (Climbing power, Strength, Speed) but it is an excellent single choice. Combined, all 3 make an ideal winter training package. After doing Climbing Power for the first time I had to take a nap to recover. Now, a month later, I can hammer through the session. If you can piggy-back 2 of these DVD into a 2 hour workout, not only will you be ready for an 80 mile road ride but you will certainly be out front."

Want to improve your climbing Prowess ??
Pros: High Quality, put in & get back
Cons: Expensive
"I have a few of these CTS DVD's and whilst you do them they are a bit boring (like anything to improve you need to be motivated), but really over winter it is only now that the benefits are there to see.
Worth every cent, but be prepared to feel some pain, then again upto you how much you want to feel !"

Lack of Workouts
Pros: workout is good
Cons: Expensive, Not Enough Features, only one workout
"This really is a bit of a waste. The video itself is fine with some good info during the session. 'Bonus' material on Lance comeback is interesting but nothing amazing.
Has only one workout in it, which although it is quite good and it is useful to have the coach talking you through the whole hour while the timings etc appear on the screen, it really is a bit expensive for a single 1 hour session workout. I was expecting a number of sessions to allow some variety.
Anybody with more than a passing interest in cycling training will find this no more useful than information they can read for free on numerous websites and forums.
If you are looking for some motivation and a way to help ease the boredom of the turbo then this probably has it uses, otherwise spend your money on some good race DVD's and do some research on training programs yourself."

CTS Climbing
Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"I started some time ago training by CTS workout DVDs decided to work harder on my weakness which is climbing.
This is the best buy to date fantastic workout.
My only problem is Iam becomming a Yank the accent no longer bothers me.
Is it me or does the coach have the hots for the blonde"
