I did one.
I mean, I was like, oh, I'm going to chat with Hoopman.
I was like, so what am I supposed to be doing?
Well, that's the thing is like, well, because I've just been doing all the same training stuff for 30 years.
I mean, and obviously I read all the books and all my friends are professional climbers.
So we talk about this kind of stuff all the time.
But there are a lot of things where you're always kind of as like a self-trained, self-coached athlete to some extent.
You're kind of like, should I be doing this more?
Should I be doing this less?
And I was like training a bunch this summer and was really motivated.
And then I've kind of just โ the pendulum has kind of just swung back to being like, do I need to do trainee stuff like the calisthenics, the extra workout stuff, or should I just go pure climbing?
Because to some extent climbing โ like if you want to be a good climber, you just climb.
Like if you have energy left over, you should just climb harder or climb more.
You don't necessarily need to save it for workout stuff and training stuff.
So I don't know.
But yeah, what do you think?
You mean do the reps faster?
That's interesting.
So bench pressing, for example, that's actually the only weight that I move around.
When I'm at home and have my own little home gym, I bench press twice a week, let's say.
