Steve Bechtel | Resistance Training

 
 
In Episode 2 I sit down with Steve Bechtel at his gym in Lander, Wyoming, to talk resistance training for climbers.  Yes, lifting weights.  No, you won't get swole.  Yes, you should do it.  But enough of that.  Just listen.  We've already recorded two more hours with Steve, so you'll hear more from him in the coming months!
 
You can find Steve at climbstrong.com, and more about his gym, Elemental Performance + Fitness at lmntl.net.

Episode 3?  It could happen!  This thing could be official!

Carlo Traversi | Going Big with Carlo Traversi

 
Oh shit, it actually happened... Episode 1.  January 1st, 2016. The very last time I'll be on time.  Mark it on your calendars!
 
In this, our inaugural episode, we talk with pro climber Carlo Traversi, exploring the merits of being dynamic in your climbing.  We take a close look at his approach to an impressive send of "Sky" (V14), that required rethinking an enormous move.  Carlo came up with a solution that most of us never would have considered.

We also discuss his signature move, the Pogo, and how to determine when you might be using your new skill TOO much. If you don't know the pogo, it's a valuable skill which you can find more about in these fun videos from Louder Than 11, featuring Carlo:

See you again soon,
