Lifting Heavy Weight | Here’s another podcast in my training series on the myths of heavy weight training. I’ve touched on this before but hopefully this will complement the previous article and add some new things. The main thing to take away from this podcast is that lifting heavy weight will not make you huge!! Your weight gain or loss is predominantly monitored by your nutrition. This podcasts focuses on the myths of heavy weight training. I will do another shortly that talks about the benefits of lifting heavy. Does anyone out there lift heavy weight? More importantly, did you suddenly get HUGE?! | 5/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Why Cross Train? | This podcast is dedicated to cross training for climbing. There are lots of advantages to cross training and I go over several. I also give my definition of cross training and how you can effectively cross train for climbing. I definitely get on my soap box on this one! It’s been about a year since my last podcast. If you would like to hear more podcasts, please let me know. I didn’t think anyone cared about these. If there’s interest, I plan on doing several podcasts on training, and some of the trip reports in podcast form. Do any of you cross train for rock climbing? What does your training consist of? | 4/24/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast: Goals for 2011 | Join me in today’s podcast as I talk about my goals for this year. I have some lofty goals, but I think I can accomplish them all! Some of my goals include climbing many 5.11′s this spring, picking up where I left off last fall. I would also like to climb more trad this summer at Seneca and the New River Gorge. This fall, I’ll be trying to complete my first 5.12. I’ll be taking mostly weekend trips to the New River Gorge and Red River Gorge this year. Hopefully I’ll have time (and money) to take some longer trips out west, to the southeast, or up to the northeast. What are your goals for this year? Please share them in the comments below! | 4/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast: Gear to Start Climbing | “What gear do I need to get to start climbing?” This is a question I frequently am asked. The answer is not so simple, and usually follows with: “Where do you want to climb?” Depending if you want to boulder, top-rope at the gym, top-rope outside, or sport climb outside will dictate what gear you need to obtain. Below is an outline of gear needed for each type of climbing that I talk about in today’s podcast. Basic Gear For All Climbers: Climbing Shoes Chalk Bag/Chalk Bouldering: Basic Gear Bouldering Pad Top-rope in Gym: Basic Gear Harness Belay Device & Locking Belay (Pear) Carabiner Tope-rope Outside: Tope-rope in Gym gear Climbing Rope 75′ Static Rope 2 Double Shoulder Length Slings 2 Locking Oval Carabiners 2 Locking Offset-D Carabiners Sport Climb Outside: Top-rope in Gym gear 10 Quickdraws Climbing Rope Optional Gear: 2 Double Shoulder Length Slings 2 Locking Oval Carabiners 2 Locking Offset-D Carabiners Gear to Rappel What other gear do you consider essential?

Podcast: How to Climb 5.12 Review | In my first podcast, I review the book, How to Climb 5.12, by Eric Horst. This is a great first training book for anyone looking to better their physical and mental training. Whether you are trying to climb your first 5.10 or 5.14, this book can help! I review each of the chapters and go through some of the points that really stuck out to me. Have you read this book? What did you think of it? Let me know in the comments! I hope you enjoy my first of many podcasts at Rock Climber Life! | 1/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
