I’ll try to answer the following question, How do you develop muscles that are capable of pulling your body weight up the wall? This episode will be a bit shorter, aiming to provide a shot of knowledge and motivation to get you started on a quarantine streght training program.

    Ep. 6 - Staying fit in a quarantine

    More and more climbers across the globe are being affected by quarantines. Gyms and outdoor areas are closing down right left and center. And no one really knows how long the covid-19 pandemic is going to last. What we can predict at this moment is that things are going to get worse in the coming weeks, and we should all do our best to limit the damage. So, how do we deal with this as climbers? A lot of us have training plans and goals we want to reach, some might have even planned a bouldering trip.

    Ep. 4 - Fear of Failure

    The fear of failure, an omnipresent phenomenon that seems to haunt not only climbers but humans in general. And maybe even the odd cat or dog. It’s a subject that I personally have some experience with. as a climber I felt it recently when getting back on the wall after resting for a whole month due to an injury. And today I’m feeling it when trying to write the script for this episode. Where does this fear come from and how can we deal with it?

    Ep. 3 - Optimising Recovery #1

    It’s valentine’s day today and even though it’s mostly a capitalistic ploy to get you to buy gifts for your loved ones. I do hope that you feel loved today,  but we won’t be talking about that. Today’s topic is Optimizing rest, which you could call a form of self love. This is part one in a series of episodes on resting and recovery.  In this shorter episode, I’ll tackle the magical 2 hour period after your workout.  And how by doing and eating the right things in these 2 hours you can speed up your recovery by around 50 percent. Does that tickle your interest?

    Ep.1 - Defining Bouldering

    In todays episode I’ll be talking on a few subjects to try and define what bouldering is.  I’ll start off with a short history of bouldering, touching on its humble beginnings in the forest of fontainebleau up to its boom in popularity in the 90’s. After that I’ll go on an try to form a simple and useable defenition for bouldering, so you’ll know what to answer when relatives start asking about your athletic endeavours next Christmas. Further on I’ll touch on different types of bouldering, you could call them subsets. Such as Dyno, Slab, Crack and Highball routes. I’ll also adress the elephant in the room. Indoor bouldering and its relation to outdoor bouldering.
