Brilliant!!! I don't get the fact a lot of people who consider themselves climbers watch a random dude send a problem on platic holds in a gym and don't support this channel instead. 6K subscribers ?????? what is that to say about the interests of people ??? DOn't get it
Haha we do have a much larger following on our podcast itself. We just figured the people would love to see Alex and the guest’s pretty faces sometimes! Appreciate your support.
Very instructive! I'd like to add (I'm not on the level of the speakers) that you can train much more often, even if you plan on sending harder grades, by alternating the type of session you do. For instance, you can do twice a week a session where you work on your projects (which is a bit more chill in terms of volume), two sessions a week of high volume, one session a week on your antistyle...
Also, I'd like to emphasize that you have to listen to yourself. I know that I cannot do hard finger-y routes every day of the week so sometimes I switch to overhanging with better holds, if my shoulders hurt I'll do some slab today... Your body is actually quite good t telling you when you're nearing your limit, especially if you train often
Thanks for sharing!
This podcast is great I wish it had a bit more promotion or support from the community
I like Alex but I wouldn't take training advice from him.
Alex’s point is pretty good here I think. Basically most of us have goals that are hard sports routes or boulders, and so it makes sense that our training plan should be different from someone whose goal is to climb big walls.
