 Episode #41 - Personalized Nutrition for Training and Performance | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:16:05

If you're serious about training and climbing your best, then you must be serious about performance nutrition. The foods you consume play a central role in energy production, training adaptations, muscle recovery, connective tissue health, and your strength-to-weight ratio. Combined, these nutritional influences are nearly as significant as the influence of your training program--and, if you get both your training and nutrition right, then a powerful synergy will elevate your performance to a new level!

 Episode #40: Blood Flow Restriction Training for Climbers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 52:08

The focus of this podcast is Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training. This training modality has been around for decades but has only been recently popularized by some physiotherapists and coaches. Among climbers, perhaps no one is more knowledgable on this topic than Dr. Tyler Nelson, so I invited Tyler to join me for this podcast. In this 40-minute interview, we'll explore the different BFR training protocols, and how BFR training may be a beneficial intervention for injured and healthy climbers alike.

What are the distinct and rare character traits that make climbers like Tommy Caldwell, Alex Honnold, Margo Hayes, Adam Ondra, and Alex Megos--and others like them--the barrier-breaking and transcendent climbers that they are? You might be thinking of things like "strong fingers", "low bodyfat, and "excellent sponsorship". Surely these are part of the equation, however, I believe the true Superpowers of these climbers are things you can't measure with a fitness test or financial summary.

 Episode #34: A Revolution in Finger Training for Climbers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:52

If you engage in hard finger training, frequently push your physical limits, and/or occasionally experience tendon or joint pain...then this podcast could be game-changer for you! Traditionally, tendons and ligaments (and A2 pulleys) have been viewed as inert structures that changed little after adolescence. New studies provide clues as to how athletes can play an active role in developing stronger, more robust, and higher performing sinew. This is revolutionary information for every serious climber.
