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.

Episode 4 of Mountain Talk is all about climbing! Recruitment Pulls on the fingers, Isometrics, eccentric vs concentric movements, we get into a little bit of the science. We talk a lot about mindset and how to cultivate "turning it on" or "flipping the switch", we dive down the rabbit hole of training vs exercise, along with some of our recent training protocols and more. The episode has subpar audio quality and will be the last full-length of its kind.

In this episode of Mountain Talk George and Alex chat during a road trip from Salt Lake City to Red Rocks, Vegas. We chatted about our personal experiences with relationship styles (nonmonogamy/monogamy), communication between partners, what we should and shouldn't expect from a partner, jealousy, friendship, psychedelics, vasectomies, and more.
This episode is unedited, unrehearsed, and unfiltered. Apologies for the road noise.

In Episode 2, George discusses his philosophy behind training for the mountain environment, "The Integral Approach to Mountain Athletics". This approach revolves around a holistic view of the athlete or individual and develops training programs based on their specific needs and just as importantly the needs of the context in which they are training for. This podcast discusses strength training, aerobic fitness, mind, sport-specific fitness, base building, behavior modification, and more.
