Rundown:

Episode #7 had some audio issues, but most of the troubled spots have been edited out. So this is a pretty clean 20 minutes of the show. Enjoy…with coffee!

1:05 – A brief primer on training postural muscles–I’ll demo some home exercise for this in upcoming episode #8. 3:30 – Proposal to “make April great again”…by learning a new skill or taking on a new initiative 5:20 – How much climbing endurance will I lose on a 2 to 3 month stay-at-home? 8:17 – When max strength training (alactic) should I try finger flexors or pulling muscles first?

10:40 – Should I train max strength (alatic) core and posterior chain exercises on the same day as max strength climbing exercises. 11:50 – I’m doing max hangs with 90 pounds added–should I begin doing one-handed max hangs to increase resistance? 13:35 – My right forearm gets more pumped when training, but my left crimp grip feels weaker–what’s going on…and can I correct this unevenness? [16:10 – another brief audio drop] 16:20 – I have hypermobile joints and am weak at crimping–what can I do? 17:10 – Is it okay for youth climbers to hangboard and campus train? 18:32 – How can I reduce the size of my large leg muscles?
