When you apply too much stress (not enough rest between sessions) you get injured. If don’t apply enough stress or apply it infrequently, the body won’t adapt to the new load. The manta I use is to stress the body and then allow it to recover, stress the body and allow it to recover. The constant training pressure over time forces the body to grow and adapt to the new load. I suspect the concept could be applied to weight training as well as climbing/bouldering.
