    #116: Climb Better TODAY! 15 In-Season Tips to Level Up Now!
    Jun 10 2025
    Coach Hörst shares 15 game-changing tips to elevate your climbing this season. Performance gains aren’t made solely in the gym. As Coach Hörst explains, there’s a lot you can do in-season—technically, tactically, and nutritionally—to level up your outdoor climbing. Apply just a few of these strategies today, and you might send your project sooner than expected. Put most or all into practice over the coming weeks, and you could unlock a whole new level of performance this season! RUNDOWN 0:30 – Introduction: Why these 15 tips matter for your in-season performance. 2:20 – Tip #1: Know the context of your current training and climbing—and act accordingly. 5:08 – Tip #2: Dial in your warm-up to match the demands of your project. (Not all warm-ups are created equal!) 8:40 – Tip #3: Time your sends by planning around temperature trends and sun exposure. 10:35 – Tip #4: Build confidence by climbing routes that match your natural style. 12:35 – Tip #5: Occasionally work "anti-style" routes to promote long-term growth and mastery. 15:35 – Tip #6: Always bring two pairs of shoes: a comfortable pair for warming up and a performance pair for sending. 18:20 – Tip #7: Prioritize movement efficiency when projecting. Climb smart with the strength and skills you have today. 24:15 – Tip #8: Focus on making a few high-quality efforts per session—not just maxing out your goes. 27:55 – Tip #9: Recover faster between attempts with active recovery techniques. 31:28 – Tip #10: Don’t climb to exhaustion. End your session before mental and physical fatigue sabotages your efforts—and recovery. 📢 Commercial Break: Why top doctors and PTs recommend daily collagen supplementation for athletes.

Stable blood glucose = steady performance. 47:20 – Tip #12: Refuel quickly post-session: 20g protein + some carbs within 30 minutes. Follow up with a healthy meal within 2–3 hours. 50:32 – Tip #13: One beer max (zero is ideal) to avoid impairing recovery. 52:32 – Tip #14: Do some light stretching or foam rolling in the evening to aid recovery and sleep. 54:30 – Tip #15: Have a 20–40g protein shake about 30 minutes before bed to support overnight muscle repair and growth. 57:40 – BONUS TIP!: Learn how to outperform the masses by doing what most climbers won’t. 1:01:57 – Wrap-up: Final thoughts, resources, and how to connect.

    #115: Training Strategy for the Next Grade -- A collab with Ryan Devlin of the Struggle Podcast
    May 6 2025

    What does it take to break through to the next climbing grade?

    With each new milestone, the challenge grows harder—but potentially more rewarding.

    In this special collaboration with The Struggle Podcast, I coach Ryan Devlin as he works to push past his current limit of 5.13a and lay the foundation for his next breakthrough in sport climbing.

    No matter your level, the tips and strategies we share in this episode can help guide your own climbing progression. A key focus of our conversation is the concept of building a solid "grade pyramid"—a proven approach for long-term advancement.

    This episode follows up on episodes #86, #91, #94, and #102, where I’ve been coaching Ryan on his journey toward his first-ever 5.13. You’ll get an inside look at where he stands as of April 2025, and the specific training and climbing recommendations I’ve made for his upcoming summer season, all with an eye toward peaking in the prime conditions of Fall.

    Tune in to learn actionable strategies, exercises, and mindset shifts to support your next goal—whether that’s your first 5.10 or your hardest send yet.

    This episode is a collaboration of Ryan's "The Struggle" podcast and my Training For Climbing podcast. I hope you enjoy it! Listen to and subscribe to The Struggle Podcast here >>
