Random Training for Climbing Is Killing Your Progress
The Bouldering Progression Formula™ is a proven system that helps self-driven boulderers break through plateaus and consistently unlock new grades — using a fully structured year-long training framework.
Stop Plateauing from Random Bouldering Sessions
Most climbers try harder, climb more, and hope something clicks…
But without a skill-first, finger-strength-forward, periodized plan, progress becomes inconsistent; and plateaus become normal.
The Bouldering Progression Formula™ is a year-round training system (inside an app + community) that shows you exactly what to train each week so finger strength, power, and skill build in the right order; even when life gets busy.
Athletes using this system commonly gain 2–3 grades in a year.
(V4–V13+ • indoor + outdoor)

Break Through Your Plateau No Matter What Skill Level
My name is Charlie Schreiber, Coach and Founder of Paradigm Climbing.
I’ve been climbing for 20 years, competing up to the World Cup level, route setting, and climbing up to V13 and 5.14a.
Over the last 16 years of coaching, I’ve worked with 1,000+ climbers, helping athletes progress from their first day climbing (V0) all the way to V16 and V17.
What makes my coaching different is simple: I don’t just tell climbers what to do. I teach them why training works.
Because when climbers understand the system behind their training, they stop relying on random workouts and start taking real ownership over their progress.
That’s exactly what this framework is designed to give you.

Eitan Alon
“Only after I joined did I understand how much more there is to climbing, training and performing…”
Erik Tomovski
“I’ve built a much deeper understanding of climbing training and movement… allowing me to apply training for better gains week after week.”
What Climbers Realize When They See the Full System
There's a million ways to train. Why pick this one?

After two decades of climbing, coaching, making mistakes, and spending thousands of hours studying how climbers actually improve, I realized something had been bothering me for years.
The climbers I work with privately often experience immediate breakthroughs because they get access to the same frameworks, training structure, and performance insights that elite climbers use—but most climbers never see that side of the sport.
Over the years, I’ve used this same system with athletes across every level—including climbers who have gone on to become some of the best in the world, like Adam Shahar, Austin Hoyt, Noah Wheeler, and Ben Wheeler.
And yet, for a long time, that level of structure and understanding only existed inside my private coaching.
Which meant thousands of motivated climbers were still stuck guessing how to train and why they were plateauing.
I spent years experimenting, researching, and refining a system so climbers wouldn’t have to repeat the same mistakes I made along the way.
And now, for the first time, I’m incredibly excited to finally share that entire framework with you inside The Bouldering Progression Formula™.
The Bouldering Progression Formula™ is…

A complete, year-long training system and private performance community for self-driven boulderers who want to train like serious athletes and finally break through their plateaus.
Inside the program, I pull back the curtain and share the exact frameworks, training structure, and performance principles I use with the climbers I coach privately—so you can develop your strength, movement, power, and performance in the right order across an entire year.
It’s not just a training program—it’s a learning environment and community, where you get access to the system, the coaching insights behind it, and a group of climbers who are all committed to improving together.
But one thing is incredibly important to me: this program is designed to create clarity, not overwhelm.
Instead of dumping endless random workouts and information on you, the Bouldering Progression Formula™ gives you a clear progression and focused structure so you always know exactly what to train, when to train it, and why it matters.
You can go as deep into the resources as you want, but the core program itself stays simple, intentional, and highly effective.
Because the goal isn’t to give you more noise…
The goal is to give you the system that actually moves your climbing forward.
What climbers notice immediately:

Eric Dew
“I was having trouble sifting through the climbing training info overload… Charlie’s plans helped me get focused and disciplined.”

Jasper Aikenhead-Cross
“My training was all over the place… now I know how to train optimally without overdoing it.”

Geoff Lyman
“I’m confident that I’m working towards my goals in an effective and intentional way.”
Why Climbers Love This System



Nadjya Karlov
V8+ and USAC Divisionals
Working with Paradigm Climbing was the best decision i ever made. I went from projecting V4s to climbing V8 and from getting last at youth Regionals to qualifying for my first youth divisionals. Ive seen major improvement and i’ve been very happy with how each cycle turns out. Its always a pleasure working with Charlie and getting to see all the hard work we do pay off. Highly recommend Charlie if you want to get better at climbing.


Joe Nguyen
From V7/8 to V10+
Charlie has been the best coach a climbing coach can have. Having extensive training experience can be a double edged sword. Charlie is able to provide help with attacking your weaknesses and even just identifying what should be your priority to work on. I've been working with Charlie for 2 years and I can't imagine working with anyone else.


Christopher Tiano
From V2 to V8
I started working with Charlie right after turning 32 as a V2 gym but had big goals - V10 + 5.14. He didn't blink. He believed in me. We developed a long-term, nearly 8-year, plan designed to tackle all aspects of my needed progression. My gains to date have been huge, both in the gym and on rock. I have never been more psyched. It has been a tremendous partnership.
The Bouldering Progression System™ is for you if...
You’re a climber in roughly the V4–V13 range who is serious about improving.
You don’t need to be elite — but you do need to care.
This is for you if:
-
You’ve been climbing consistently and feel stuck in a plateau
-
You train 3–5+ days per week and want better results from that time
-
You’ve tried hangboarding, projecting, or other programs… but nothing has fully clicked
-
You feel like you’re strong enough for the moves, but struggle to put it together
-
You have inconsistent sessions — some great, some frustrating
-
You want a clear system instead of guessing what to do each day
-
You’re ready to train with intention, not just “try hard”
This is for climbers who want to become:
-
More consistent
-
More durable
-
And more capable of actually executing when it matters
The Bouldering Progression System™ is not for you if...
This is not for you if:
-
You’re brand new to climbing (around V0–V3)
-
You’re only climbing casually and don’t want structure
-
You’re looking for a quick fix or shortcut
-
You don’t want to follow a system or track your training
-
You prefer random sessions over intentional progression
Climbers this system is built for:

PJ Martin
“Have finally made gains after a loooooong plateau…”

Tomas Monaghan
“I felt stuck and didn’t know where to start… now I’m starting to reach the next level of my climbing.”
Introducing
The Bouldering Progression Formula™
What do you get?
12-Month
Training
System
This is your complete, fully periodized 12-month training plan built on the Bouldering Progression Formula. Every session tells you exactly what to do—climbing style, sets, reps, intensity, and intentions—so you’re never guessing. Instead of random training, you’re following a system designed to build capacity, strength, power, and performance in the right order. Each session
This is what turns your effort into predictable progress instead of inconsistent results.
Full Year
Skills Progression
System
This is a structured system of over 30 skill drills and progressions designed to improve your movement, coordination, and execution over time. Instead of hoping technique improves by just climbing more, you’ll deliberately train specific movement patterns and skills. Each category of skill drills provides 3 or more options, so you can customize your experience to your own strength and weakness profile or goals. Each phase builds on the last so your technique evolves alongside your strength.
This is how you become a climber who can actually apply strength on the wall.
Full Year
Energy System
Progression System
This system of over 25 different climbing experiences develops your ability to sustain effort, recover between attempts, improve max strength and power and perform across different styles of boulders. You’ll train the right energy systems at the right time so you’re not getting pumped too early or fading mid-session. It’s built to support both performance and recovery across the entire year, as well as teach and reinforce proper movement mechanics.
This is what allows you to link moves and maintain performance when it matters.
Full Year
Hip Mobility
Progression System
These are structured mobility programs focused on climbing-specific positions like high steps, splits, and hip opening. You’re not just stretching—you’re building strength and control at end ranges so you can actually use that mobility on the wall. Progressions ensure you improve safely over time. This is not passive stretching; this is the same functional mobility training that the top athletes in our sport use.
This is what lets you get into—and control—positions other climbers can’t.
Full Year
Finger Strength
Progression System
This system develops finger strength safely and progressively across the year using structured loading and grip variation. You’ll build strength in key positions like half crimp and open hand without overloading the same tissues repeatedly. It’s designed to improve strength while minimizing injury risk.
This is how you build stronger, more durable fingers without constant setbacks.
Full Year
Legs & Core
Progression System
This system builds the ability to generate and maintain full-body tension through your feet and core. You’ll develop the strength needed to stay on the wall, control body position, and transfer force efficiently. It directly improves your ability to keep feet on and execute powerful moves that unload the fingers and give you a new gear of strength you didn’t know was possible.
This is what gives you real control and stability on steep terrain.
Full Year
Push Muscle
Progression System
This system develops pushing strength for shoulder stability, compression, and injury resilience. It balances out heavy pulling from climbing and supports long-term joint health. You’ll build strength that directly transfers to positions like mantles, gastons and compression moves and the end range of deep lock-offs.
This is what keeps your shoulders strong, balanced, and injury-resistant.
Full Year
Pull Training
Progression System
This system builds climbing-specific pulling strength, including lock-offs, one-arm strength, and pulling in different directions. It goes beyond basic pull-ups to develop strength that actually transfers to the wall. Progressions ensure continued gains without unnecessary fatigue.
This is how you build usable, complete pulling strength, not just gym strength.
Performance
Dashboard
Analytics
Your training is tracked and translated into clear data so you can make better decisions. You’ll see metrics like workload, recovery status, and ACWR (your adaptation potential and injury risk), helping you understand when to push and when to back off. This removes guesswork from fatigue and injury management. Here, you can see graphic displays of your improvements in technical and physical categories over the year, as well as the profile of styles/grips in your training so you can stay balanced and improve your goal achievement speed.
This is how you train hard while staying healthy and consistent.

Before I show you the price, I want to put this into perspective. If you were to work with a high-level climbing coach—not a generic program, but real coaching that accounts for periodization, movement, injury management, and performance—you’d typically be paying somewhere between $200–$400 per month.
That’s $2,400 to $4,800 per year, and even then, you’re often still left figuring out how to adjust your training when life gets busy, how to manage fatigue, and how to make the right decisions session to session. What you’re getting here is different.
This isn’t just a plan—it’s the full system I use to develop climbers across an entire year. You’re getting a fully periodized 12-month program built on the Bouldering Progression Formula, a clear session-by-session structure so you always know what to focus on, detailed adherence guides so you can adjust intelligently when things don’t go perfectly, a 500+ video library to improve your movement and technique, a performance analytics dashboard that helps you understand when to push and when to recover, a community of serious climbers, and direct access to me through weekly Q&As.
I didn’t build this to be a $4,000 program. This should be available to the climber who’s serious, but stuck.
