Episode 4 of Mountain Talk is all about climbing! Recruitment Pulls on the fingers, Isometrics, eccentric vs concentric movements, we get into a little bit of the science. We talk a lot about mindset and how to cultivate "turning it on" or "flipping the switch", we dive down the rabbit hole of training vs exercise, along with some of our recent training protocols and more. The episode has subpar audio quality and will be the last full-length of its kind. Alex and I agreed to record some better audio on the next segment so please reach out with further questions, follow-ups, training advice, or whatever.
