The interview w/ Tyler Nelson of @C4HP is out. We start a bit light-hearted but jump into the weeds quickly. New listeners might want to be familiar with Tyler's work in finger strength training, overcoming isometrics, etc. to get the most out of this podcast. The unedited version is also available on YouTube and may be helpful for anatomical references of the hand and some of the training tools we discuss.Listener Homework:Jesus Piece, So UnknownBehemoth, Demi-GodLorna Shore, And I Return to Nothingness @themalieshow@babyjesusfoxTools: Tindeq Progressor Atomic Ninja Balls 2.5” Head to Toe Unlevel Edge Lattice Wrist Wrench Moxy SMO2 MonitorAlex Burlison@stone.daddiGeorge Bieker@georgebieker | georgebieker.com | Youtubewww.summationathletics.com0:00 Intro1:43 Dialing in our lookzzz3:40 Intros & “Shittiest Classics” (The Pearl, The Buzz)7:40 Tyler’s Hx, Climbing + Education12:10 Climbing Science or Lack Thereof14:40 What’s the controversy?16:50 Why defend the fingerboard?18:40 The messiness of climbing training21:40 Strength training, coordination adaptations, the fingerboard25:30 Fingerboard physics/risks27:45 The Campus board...33:15 Fingers don't have to be THAT strong!34:00 Lessons you had to unlearn?36:00 Biggest Pet Peeve38:00 Skills are skills.41:45 Muscular Endurance in Climbing46:15 Messiness of Climbing & ME Training.48:45 overuse, A2 Pulley, cyst recommendations50:45 Don't Train Like a Pro52:45 Chronic Finger Pain in Setters56:45 Anatomy: Hands & Fingers60:30 Interventions for Contact Strength63:45 Training Mistakes63:50 General Strength for Climbers64:30 Favorite/Least Favorite Boulders in LCC66:30 Process as the Goal68:45 Worst Tattoos71:45 Metal75:30 Donuts Hosted on Acast.
