Absolutly loved what he said about weight in climbing. It's such an important topic and gets talked about way too little the way he does!

[daveguy_]

that laugh at the cardio question was so real
"i walk to the crag, wdym cardio?"

[chuffer]

Legit the best video about training I've ever watched. No nonsense, holistic, and informative.

Very cool to hear Will talk honestly about weight. I feel that the climbing community has started waking up to the problem of eating disorders, but it's not enough just to tell everyone to ... not have an eating disorder. Of course weight is a factor in climbing, and if people want to perform sustainably I feel it's more helpful to talk honestly about how athletes approach balancing their weight and diet. I find it much more genuine than just telling people not to get too thin.

Most importantly I think us mortals shouldn't forget that this is Will Bosi, and unless we're planning on bouldering 9A anytime soon, there are probably more important factor than weight to concentrate on.

Bowl of plain rice with a stock cube is diabolical hahahaha

[aww]

Could you guys make a video on how Will and other climbs manage their skin? He briefly mentioned how his morning shower helped his skin which sounded pretty interesting

[ElbowsB]

I don't know if he will read this, but the NHS guidelines for B12 injections has been changed to say 'every 2-3 months' instead of 'every 3 months' so he should be able to get them more frequently, especially as he is young for a pernicious anaemia person (most research/treatment is based on the over 60s as they have it more commonly), and likely has a higher energy/nutritional requirement than the baseline on which treatment is based. Most GPs have not implemented this (mine hasn't either), but they should be able to if asked.

Super honest and direct interview. Amazing

[Connor-jvoj]

Love this format, and I love hearing from Will! Another great one, guys!

[alicurran]

Thank you so much for the open discussions around weight. I've spoken to a few men who have been struggling with this recently too. Thanks Will and Lattice!❤

"I don't think being physically fitter helps."
Thanks! That's all I needed to hear 😄

What’s eye opening is the volume of training and recovery. A buddy of mine regulars V10 but has gotten V12 before. I asked him how I could train and get better. He said… don’t come in here and just always have fun. Sometimes you need to come in and train, exhaust yourself on drills. Stay on the wall until you absolutely can’t hang on anymore.

Next episode with Aidan Roberts, please!

[heraclitus]

I love this! Showing that pros have built up the ability to train super hard over decades but are otherwise just regular people with regular sleep ans diets etc.

[maxes]

this video is insanely nice! thanks to all involved!

[HealingMushroom]

More videos like this. Amazing insight!

[nickhoffman]

Some real solid advice. Thanks for sharing.

[Kwigs_kun]

9:40 Switching from hanging to pulling was a game-changer for me! Also making sure I engaged the pinky was huge, finally broke through the v4-v5 plateau thanks to that

[tiop]

Really appreciated the honest discussion on weight! Weight is huge for climbing performance at an elite level, and brushing it under the rug is not good for the sport.

What he said about trying harder is so real. I think it's especially harder to know if what you need to do to stick a move is simply "try harder" when you're more of a technical climber. IKnowing when to adjust your beta vs try harder is a hard balance to find and many times its both. I think people often think that not sticking a move means it must be beyond their limit, rather than taking it as an opportunity to push their limits
