Episode #7 had some audio issues, but most of the troubled spots have been edited out. So this is a pretty clean 20 minutes of the show. Enjoy...with coffee! 1:05 - A brief primer on training postural muscles--I'll demo some home exercise for this in upcoming episode #8. 3:30 - Proposal to "make April great again"...by learning a new skill or taking on a new initiative 5:20 - How much climbing endurance will I lose on a 2 to 3 month stay-at-home? 8:17 - When max strength training (alactic) should I try finger flexors or pulling muscles first? [audio problems from 10:08 - 10:39] 10:40 - Should I train max strength (alactic) core and posterior chain exercises on the same day as max strength climbing exercises. 11:50 - I'm doing max hangs with 90 pounds added--should I begin doing one-handed max hangs to increase resistance? 13:35 - My right forearm gets more pumped when training, but my left crimp grip feels weaker--what's going on...and can I correct this unevenness? [16:10 - another brief audio drop] 16:20 - I have hypermobile joints and am weak at crimping--what can I do? 17:10 - Is it okay for youth climbers to hangboard and campus train? 18:32 - How can I reduce the size of my large leg muscles?
