Some of you may already know or have heard of the Team Of 2. If you haven't take a look at this slide show and get a quick sense of what it is this program has to offer...

Justen Sjong and I are trying to bring a new element into climbing. A program that allows each athlete to receive the exact coaching and training they need to continue to move forward. Justen's job is to coach the climber and my job is to train the climber. I've realized that if we are to continue to make climbing and our athletes excel in this sport then we need to give them every opportunity possible to succeed! I truly believe our program offers a superior experience and the results are stunning! Watching our athletes develop into improved overall climbers has been such an amazing experience. We've seen them not just increase in strength and power but as individuals. Having someone walk out of a Team Of 2 session having learned something new about themselves is by far the most rewarding part of what we do. It's not always about having every person laying flat on their faces exhausted from the workout. To Justen and I we want the people that come through our program to have a new understanding about what it is they need as an individual athlete.
As we move forward our hope and goal remains the same. To see climbing and climbers move forward and achieve their goals.

2013: Setting A New Standard
As the sport of climbing continues to evolve, so do the ways in which we understand and apply training. For so many climbers out there, personal progression, both physical and mental, acts as the primary source of motivation to log as many plastic hours as possible. Climbing is unique in that it is a sport just as much as it is not, and that allows for a lot of experimental training. Anyone who owns a pair of climbing shoes and has some knowledge of the body has the ability to train themselves as hard or as causally as they wish. However, because climbing is still so new (relatively), there have not been as many clinical studies on how exactly we should train our bodies specifically for climbing. Like all physical activities, climbing demands a very idiosyncratic set of muscles and strengths, and everyone has their own interpretation on how the body should be pushed. Some people like to focus primarily on power by doing copious amounts of one-arm pull-ups and front levers, others like to hone in on finger strength via weight vests and campus boards. It all depends on what you're hoping to gain.
My goal is to set a new standard by offering a different perspective and insight into the world of training in within climbing. The new hybrid training program, Team of 2, founded by myself and Justen Sjong, is a testament to that mission to better our "sport".
Boulder, CO has become the epicenter for climbing in the U.S., and along with that, comes a slew of talented and motivated climbers, all looking to better themselves. The training camps and programs implemented by Team of 2 have helped spread this new approach to training, and we've already begun to see results. With over 100 clients per week and an expanding online program, the excitement surrounding training in general has already grown.
As it is for anyone eager to tackle the new year, I too have made my resolutions, and I look forward to sharing them with anyone interested.
