In today's episode I talk about those feelings of guilt/making up a missed lifting or climbing session. What the negative effects could be if you do try to make up that missed session on top of doing your other sessions. And then a tool to use when those feelings begin to arise to help ground yourself and see the bigger picture towards reaching your training goals/long term health goals.

In today's episode I talk about 4 different life changing benefits you could see from lifting beyond just getting stronger. Because I firmly believe those are far more important than just improving your performance. There is more confident and self-trusting version of yourself and you can find that version from the weightroom. It is life changing, trust me.

Lifting should be done year round to supplement your climbing and for the health benefits. Not just for 2 or 3 months when you are specifically training for a goal. In today's episode I talk about what lifting could look like in a year for two different types of climbers. A general overview to give you a better idea of how it all works when you are lifting and not specifically training and when you are training for a goal.

In this episode of Face The Climb podcast, Jen talks about different ways her life has been enhanced due to her own climbing training. She also talks about how no, she hasn't sent a harder grade since her training, however the other benefits she has experienced has trumped this. She is close to sending harder though, just needs a little more.
She talks about these benefits
- Lasting full climbing days
- Driving home without the need for caffeine after climbing
- Only here and there needing that afternoon caffeine pick me up
- Having energy to do things after a day of guiding
- The grades she has been climbing feel easier
Enjoy! And reminder, climbing training doesn't just need to be climb a harder grade. It sure can be, but doesn't need to be the only reason to train. There are so many more benefits and goals out there!
