As far as I'm concerned, this is the product of the year. Innovation of the year.

I’m headed to the hospital for rotator cuff surgery, specifically to repair a full thickness labrum tear as well as a full thickness supraspinatus tear.

Chalk is chalk, right?

When it comes to climbing holds, I'm currently singing the praises of Kilter Climbing Grips.

Goals aren't made to be met.

There is actually a difference between the muscle burn that you feel during intense exercise and true muscle fatigue.

While in the gym, for the most part, boulderers are closer than sport climbers to training the correct way.

I teamed up with my good friend Leif Gasch to try and put down an unfinished Todd Skinner project called "The Strawberry Roan."

I wanted to give you guys and girls the heads up on these two books so that you can get your hands on them.

I needed bad holds.  BAD holds.  And so, the Bumper Pads from Vision Climbing.

You aren’t training. You’re working out. There’s a difference.

The Transgression and Progression Hangboards by Eva Lopez, are the first in some time to depart from the "little bit of every grip type" design.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up: if you aren't already following the Training Beta podcast, the new episode, which is a conversation I had with Neely, is up!  Check it out!

How tall, how wide, what angle, and perhaps most difficult, which holds and in which configuration? 

For all of you Facebookers, we now have an official Facebook page.  

This is not about training.  Fact is, I just wanted to share.

I test my theory that a better way to system board for power would be to treat it more like bouldering, but on mirror-image symmetrical walls.

Vision Climbing sent over a set of their Acid Rain Pinches for our reviewing pleasure.

Our first training program is live and available for purchase for just $24 on TrainingBeta.com!

Neely was looking for trainers to write training programs, so we talked out the specifics, and I got to work.
