Last week Mike and I did another podcast with our friend Neely Quinn over at TrainingBeta.com.  You can check out the podcast here.

The interview runs about an hour and covers a wide variety of topics including:

• What went into designing the Rock Prodigy Forge, and why we think it’s the most advanced hangboard on the market.
• What we learned at the International Rock Climbing Research Association conference, what other research we are working on, which questions need further study.
• How I trained differently for my ascent of Shadowboxing.
• Mike’s recent 8a+ and 8b onsights in Europe.
• Whether or not hangboarding causes forearm hypertrophy.
• The secret to climbing hard with a family.
• Questions & Answers from the Training Beta Facebook community
