Beastmaker: An Interview with Dan Varian

Have you ever wondered what it takes to achieve your climbing goals? Some people would argue you need the right facilities, equipment, time, low work stress and perhaps professional support to reach such high climbing grades, however, some individuals have proven that this is not necessarily true. Regardless of your personal approach, training for your goals is a process. In speaking to high-level climbers and athletes, we can always learn another side to the coin, and perhaps find tactics to deploy into our own training.   So, this is exactly what Andre Neres and Tom Randall are talking about today. Andre is a climber from Portugal who managed to climb 9a before the first commercial gym was even open in his home country while juggling busy family life and the all so common 9-5 working week!  Part of his success can be narrowed down to travelling as much as possible to famous crags, in order to learn from some of the best climbers out there. As such, Andre has acquired years' worth of knowledge, so this podcast is definitely not one to miss.  Topics covered:Why Andre started climbing.His mindset and training structure.What the climbing scene is like, in Portugal.Advice and experience gained from his climbing trips. Future Climbing Goals.For Andre's famous R9ad video, go to the following link: https://vimeo.com/80941121The Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

Maddy Cope

In this podcast, Tom and Maddy sit down to talk about the role of expectations and satisfaction in climbing. Both Tom and Maddy have thought about the mindset with respect to their own climbing, and discuss their different approaches. Expectations and satisfaction are linked, and as such it is important to think about and manage our expectations, as well as what we define as a success, especially when trying projects that challenge us. Some the topics discussed in this conversation are;Expectations and how they play into climbingExpectations as a distraction and fear of fallingThe process of asking yourself honest questionsReflection, morphing memories, and having well informed expectationsThe link between expectation and satisfactionExploring what we value in our climbing in order to get the most satisfactionSuccess without sending?Sending and satisfaction?The Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

Expectations and Satisfaction in Climbing, with Tom Randall and Maddy Cope  

In this Podcast, Tom Randall has a chat with Adam Fiala, which is going to be quite different from anything you've heard on the Lattice Podcast before. We will have both a narrated interview and an insightful chat into the journey that our client took with us to climb his first f8b+ (5.14 USA route grade).This comprehensive look into his training and performance will have us read out some of the stages of his journey directly from his blog. Plus some teasing out of ideas to see if Adam gives a bit more information of what it is like working with us at Lattice.Because Adam has written such an in-depth piece of writing about his climbing, we’re going to split this interview into 2 parts.  Also, we would like to give credit to David Goggins audible book for the concept of narration with an interview, as it is an absolutely brilliant format.Lastly, we just want to let you know about the 2 variations of Adam’s blog - there’s the full unedited version on his own website and a condensed version in 2 parts on our website. There is always so much we can learn from understanding the experience of others, so we hope you enjoy this episode.Adam’s climbing and training history Common misconceptions of working with a coach Details of Performance profilingLattice's different approach to trainingNutrition behind Adam's training, and his fears of weight gainTraining programme detailsDetails on his project attempts The hard truth about trainingLink to Adam's Blog: http://mujsuplik.blogspot.com/p/dancing-with-wolves-blog-series.htmlThe Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

Climbing My First 5.14a: A Story of Progress & Training (Part 1)

Steven Dimmitt AKA ‘The Nugget Climbing Podcast’ is the founder and owner of one of the hottest (and most interesting) interview shows in the climbing industry right now. It has only been going just over 2yrs but has already had a huge impact on the climbing community and features tonnes of well-chosen and crafted interviews with pros, coaches and climbing personalities.  His show has featured some of the great climbers of all time and clients we’ve also tested or trained ourselves - including people like Ben Moon, Hazel Findlay and Steve McClure. Steven was also a client of ours at Lattice, some years ago, but connected with us again recently with Tom Randall as a guest on his own show. This got us thinking, if we’ve got someone who’s spent the last 2 years interviewing some of the world’s best climbers and most interesting members of the community, then surely he’s observed some patterns and commonalities between all these individuals? In this episode, Tom chats to Steven about some of the guests on the show, how he pulls information from his sources and has utilised it in his own climbing or with his own clients and finally what he’s learnt from his experiences of living and working on the road whilst trying to perform. Find out more about Steven’s podcast here and his Patreon here. You can also find him on Instagram here! The Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

Eric Horst: A Founding Father of Modern Training Theory for Climbing

You DM'd us, and we have answered, so today we have the guy who gained everyone's attention in early 2021 with his infamous 30-day fingerboard routine. We cover a broad range of topics, which should answer all of the questions you sent to us via Instagram, and other social media!Emil is an incredibly experienced climber, representing Sweden in competitions, climbing outdoors, and of course sharing his journey through his Youtube channel. Recording his training, and sharing his big goals of sending "The Big Island", Emil really shows his versatility as a climber. So, don't expect this interview to be all about fingerboarding!Lastly, he has recently made the choice to move full time into a 'van-life' way of living, committing to full-time climbing and filmmaking. Other than his fingerboard experiment, we will also discuss how he balances indoors vs outdoor climbing and what he’s experienced during his transition to van living. How Emil's fingerboarding idea startedEmil's reaction to the feedback from the fingerboarding videoWill he repeat or change the fingerboarding procedure from the initial video?How this fingerboarding procedure affected his strengthHow he balances indoors with outdoorsHow Emil's height or weight affects this performanceWhere the focus for "The Big Island" came fromFootworkVan lifeInternal and external expectations with YouTubeSo far what have been the pros and cons of this changeWhere Emil sees himself in the near future The Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

Dave MacLeod

Welcome to part 2 of this interview with the climbing legend Dave MacLeod. This week Lattice coach Maddy delved even deeper into Dave's climbing and training approach, by diving straight into chatting about his famous nutrition experiments and approaches to balancing a keto diet with his own training and climbing.   We also hear more about Dave's personal standpoints on nutrition and the mental aspects related to dieting, particularly in the climbing world.  As providers of nutrition services and information to the climbing community, we know all too well about the risks and the strong feelings that can be attached to dieting*, especially alongside high intensity training, so this is also covered in this interview.  Don't forget to catch up on Part 1, where Dave and Maddy discussed; 📌Dave's approach to training and climbing📌How he applies his understanding of science to his practice📌How the mental side of climbing evolved for him📌His process on hard climbs and headpoints 📌The consideration of specificity in training for climbing goals 📌Stepping things up to 9a+ 🔥*Please note that nutrition is highly individual and if you are struggling with disordered eating you should seek the help of a qualified professional.

Nutrition with Dave MacLeod -  Interview with a Climbing Legend, Part 2

In the Lattice Training podcast today we have another guest from the arm lifting world whose long term track record of training, competing and record breaking accomplishments is rarely rivalled across the grip strength sports. It’s rare that we get to interview someone who’s really been focusing on something so specific to climbing performance - AKA grip strength - for over 20 yrs. Eric Roussin, is from Canada and has a long history of competitive arm wrestling, having started as a teenager in 1996 and has been competing in Grip Sports for just over 10 yrs. He won the Canadian overall National Title 5yrs in a row and also a gold medal in the World Arm Lifting Championships on the Rolling Thunder and has the world record on Napalms Nightmare and 2 arm thick bar lift.  Interestingly, Eric is a blend of competitor and historian so he’s got an incredible knowledge of what’s developed over time and an understanding of training and performance methodology, which at Lattice, we’re always interested to learn more about! Check out in the show notes at the bottom, some really useful links provided by Eric, who kindly provided us all with some signposting to learn more on this front. In today’s episode we covered:What got Eric into arm wrestling originally and his formative years of training.What he thinks about grip or hand strength in arm lifting and the repercussions for training methodology or approach. His thoughts on the differences between arm lifting and arm wrestling.How he trains for grip lifting, rather than grip pulling or hanging.Whether he does any cross-training.How important he thinks strength in the entire kinetic chain is. Are there any common “weak” links he sees?What does the grip sports community think of fingerboarding.What are the King Kong Grip Challenges. David Horne - site: http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/index.htmlDavid Horne Basic training routine video: https://youtu.be/FGuVJAj96SE Grip Board (the world’s most popular grip strength related forum): www.gripboard.com (event King Kong details can be found in the Grip Contests section)Popular facebook page for all things grip: https://www.facebook.com/groups/330749460395996 Eric’s websites: www.canadagripsport.com &amp; www.thearmwrestlingarchives.comThe Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

A Legend of Finger Strength: Yves Gravelle on Training & Performance  

Tom Randall is back with another solo podcast session, following on from the recent "Common Mistake in Endurance Training" that was very popular. Like the previous format, he explores the big issues that climbers will typically have when training or preparing their power endurance.In part 1, he breaks down the critical factor of 'specificity' and why you need to address it on the three fronts of technical, psychological and physical preparation. Ignoring, or wrongly addressing almost any of these elements will significantly impact both the effect of your training and the performance outcomes. Get them right though, as you're talking about huge steps towards success! Technical:1. Rock types and associated movement patterns.2. Specific move types and efficiency within them.3. Learning how to climb fast AND slow at your project/goal gradePsychological:1. Accessing your 'try hard' zone with correct focus and frequency2. Learning to relax to the demands of the goal and not 'wasting' energy. 3. Training to rest appropriate for your project. 4. Chalking up ratios5. Terrain recognition and environmental stress/familiarity6. Fears of heights, exposure and fallingPhysical:1. Pacing for contraction and relaxation ratios.2. Hold size and types relative to muscle activation and soft tissue demands.3. Specificity of project demands on ancillary muscle groups such as core, back and legs.4. Skin and pain conditioning5. Respecting the specificity of volume, intensity and 'section' interval frequency when trainingThe Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.
