Team Benzing Elevated is my 12-week acceleration program: 1:1 bouldering coaching with me, built to get committed climbers to their next grade faster. A plan built around your week, eyes on your footage every week, and someone in your corner who actually sends hard.
Takes about two minutes. I read every application myself.
V13
Watch: who this is for, in my words.
Stuck at the same grade for months. Training hard with no real structure. Not sure if it's strength, technique or the wrong plan. Here's what climbers tell me every week:
"Stuck at my gym's V8/9 for about 6 months now, and progress has really slowed down."
"My sessions don't have any structure, and recurring injuries keep me from progressing."
"I feel like I have more potential but I don't know how to put it to use."
Not the right fit if you're brand new, or you want a shortcut without putting the sessions in. Better for both of us to say that now.
For your grade, your schedule, and what you're actually trying to send.
We go through your week, look at what's working, and adjust the plan together.
Send me as much of your climbing as you want. You get specific feedback on the movement, not vague tips.
Questions between sessions get answered. You're not on your own for six days.
As you get stronger and hit new problems, the plan moves too.
"I'd followed Thomas for a long time. His style of climbing is exactly what I wanted. The only thing I wasn't sure about was how effective the training would actually be. Then I went from V7 to V10/11 in one summer. He's super easy to talk to and gets the important points across, and my technique improved 100%."
"I had spent several years hovering around V4. After getting coaching for only a couple months, I managed to send a V6 for the first time ever. I was curious how online coaching would work. That ended up not being a problem, and I feel I made just as much progress as I would have with in-person coaching."
"More focus, understanding of body movement, and pushing myself harder, so overall I just send harder. Nowadays flashing V8 to V9 consistently, executing V10s in two sessions or less, and sending V11s."
"The biggest unlock was execution: he had me on drills in week one and I noticed the difference the next week. … My understanding of movement and programming is so much stronger, and the VOD reviews are goated."
I climb to V13, I send V11s and V12s, and I've been climbing six years. I make climbing videos because I like breaking this stuff down. You've probably already watched me climb, so you know I won't hand you filler.
A few quick questions. I read every one myself.
If it looks like a fit, we talk for 15 minutes so I know I can actually help.
If we're both in, you get your plan straight away.
A few questions so I know if I can help, and where you're at. Takes about two minutes.
