I love the tone shift from some of the more light-hearted content (love the goofy videos too of course). I can really feel the intensity building as the Olympics approaches, good luck!
It's cool to see a bit of you guys' relationship through both the lense of training together and friendship, the latter being potentially underappreciated by a lot of climbers
Sorato climbs so smart..."ok, lets do some campusing". Same as me in the gym, ok i am in my aerobic mesocycle... Uuu there is noone in the kilterboard.
Thanks guys for a very interesting video. I appreciate the honesty and the emotional insights you guys are giving us. I’m sure it’s not easy to open up an admit that modern climbing has changed and you two need to change your approach, too. I know the feeling when I’m at my local gym. Things have changed over the years… Anyway, the wooden pinch at the end of your route and from there onwards to another yellow pinch is insane! I’m sure your forearms are probably pumped when you reach that wooden hold but still you have to hold it together at those two very pumpy holds… Sick! Very impressive!
Would be nice to hear about your process to recover and continue training with a pulley rupture. I get strains frequently. Recovering from 2 currently and I am just now starting to climb 12 wks into the process. It blows my mind you can climb hard this quick after a rupture.
Of course every injury is slightly different and there are different paths to recovery depending on a partial rupture, a full rupture and an inflammation. Once the comp stress has eased off a little we were planning on doing a video with Volker Schöffl, our team doctor and finger specialist to give a little insight into prevention, treatment and recovery.
So Megos is his own coach/trainer, films his own RU-vid videos AND is (somehow) an olympic level athelete? It is crazy impressive, but also a bit surprising/sad that he doesn't have more support.
Yes I do have support from a lot of people thankfully. Dicki and Patrick helped me out with my training for over a decade and I still get feedback from various people, which I'm very thankful for
Thanks a lot! Yes I usually also incorporate some outdoor climbing into my training. One for motivation and two for the subtle things rock climbing can teach you
Danke für den Einblick hinter hinter die Kulissen:) Manchmal probiert man durch Verletzungen Dinge aus, die man sonst nie probiert hätte, und lernt viel Neues:) Ich wünsche jeder Person, egal in welcher Stituation oder welchem Sport, dass sie immer das Beste aus der Situation zieht und daran wächst:) Viel Erfolg bei den nächsten Wettbewerben:)
Ooohhh, are Alex' socks a sign, that the time of carrots is over? No more carrots 4 power? --> Radish 4 strength?😅 Viel Glück bei der Olympia-Quali!!!💪💪💪
I don't understand, why lead and boulder is one discipline and not seperated. Speed, boulder, lead, and combination. 4 medals. It's like you have in riding only one medal in jumping and dressage.
Yes Alex and Chris. I agree with all the others. Great video that gives us ordinary punters an insight into your thoughts and training. Good luck in the comps and looking forward to watching you in Paris.
Sorry to hear about the pulley rupture, and hoping that recovery & strength comes quickly! All the best with Budapest & Paris! And thanks for sharing a little insight about the reality of training at an elite level.
The campus on slopey holds looks like good comp training, but if you through in 1 foot move for coordination it could be better comp training (?) Anyway too late for budapest now. Will be cheering for you as always! Good luck!!!!
