The Strong AF Climbing Podcast

29. If Strength Training Is Killing Your Climbing Sessions, Listen to This!


Listen Later

Strength training is one of the most common things climbers tell me they want to do, and also one of the most common things they quit.

Not because they are lazy. Not because they do not care. But because it makes them sore, tired, and like their climbing sessions are getting worse instead of better.

In this episode, I break down why that experience is so common and why it does not automatically mean strength training is wrong for you.

We talk about:

  • The difference between normal soreness and fatigue and actual problems
  • Why most climbers are overdosing relative to their current capacity
  • How recovery and fueling are often the missing pieces
  • Why capacity explains why some athletes can lift and climb on the same day while others feel wrecked for days.

If strength training feels like it is competing with your climbing, this episode will help you understand what usually needs to change so it supports your climbing instead.
