Listen "83. Strength Training Principles Every Climber Should Use"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s Podcast, Mercedes is joined by Steve Bechtel to discuss the two most important principles of strength training and how you can use them to support your climbing training. Strength training shouldn’t be what you spend most of your time on in your climbing training, but it’s most likely the most crucial factor in getting stronger. Balancing strength training with your climbing can be tricky. We hope this podcast will provide you with ideas on how to balance your training and maximize the benefits of strength training.
