In this episode, I sat down with Coach Matt Pincus to talk about his infamous “checklist” that he uses when he's projecting a route (or a boulder – but usually routes). As a coach, often Matt's job is less about creating strength training programs and more about using tactics to get people up their projects in an efficient way. He's found that he's been having a lot of conversations with clients lately about how to approach their route projects, now that it's climbing season in a lot of places. This episode is dedicated to helping people approach hard projects (and sometimes even not-so-hard projects) to help keep yourself motivated and on the trajectory to a send. Matt uses a checklist of links and accomplishments he wants to make on a route before the final checkbox of sending. He shares how he creates that list, depending on what kind of route it is. He also talks about the following: A couple examples of his own project checklists 3 things he sees people do wrong while projecting Planning your climbing day efficiently Top down vs ground-up When to start being tactical on a route When to start giving redpoint burns   Show Links Train with Coach Matt Pincus How to Approach Routes Systematically: Top Down or Ground Up – Article by Matt Podcast Episode 134: The Principles of Projecting with Matt Article on Projecting Principles by Matt   Train with Matt Pincus If you want Matt to help you with your own goals, whether they're with bouldering or route climbing, he's available for month-long commitments where he'll talk with you over zoom and create a program for you and keep in touch with you via the TrueCoach app throughout the month. He'll help you get stronger overall and cater to your specific goals so the timing is right for you to send when it's time to send. Learn More about Working with Matt

New Nutrition and Training Program: Reach Coach Alex Stiger and Neely Quinn are hosting an integrated climbing training and nutrition program starting on August 8th, 2022 for 4 weeks! If you want to up your game in nutrition and in climbing training (and learn more about what Alex talks about in this article), you can check it out in the link below. In the program, you'll get a 4-week training program from Alex, a comprehensive nutrition course + one-on-one time with Neely, plus weekly live meetings with Alex and Neely and a lot more. As a podcast listener, you get $50 off the program using the code “Reach” at checkout. Use Code “Reach” at Checkout for $50 Off of Reach Calories for Climbing Performance and Body Composition In this episode, I talk all about how to figure out how many calories–how much food–you should be eating in your meals, snacks, and throughout each day in order to feel energized, climb well, and have the body composition that's right for you. We'll talk about how to objectively and mathematically determine what is a good calorie amount for YOUR body to help you be your best all day every day. As for the body composition portion of this episode, yes, I'm going there. This is a difficult subject because there's so much anti-diet rhetoric out there that it's almost sinful to talk about weight or fat loss at all. But MOST of my clients come to me wanting to lose weight, and they've been taught their whole lives how to do it all wrong. So my goal is to give people the same advice I give my clients: measured, sustainable methods for changing your body composition at a reasonable rate. I get pretty real in this episode and it's not something I've really talked about much on this podcast before. I hope this real talk is helpful for you! This is a recording taken from a 5-day nutrition challenge I did in 2020 in front of a live zoom audience and I added some bits to the beginning and end about the topic. A Little about Me After completing my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Zoology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, I did a 4-year nutrition certificate program at Seven Bowls School of Nutrition, Nourishment, and Healing. I graduated in 2007 as a Certified Integrative Clinical Nutrition Therapist. I've worked exclusively with climbers since 2013.   Show Links Reach Program: www.trainingbeta.com/reach Reach Program Discount: Code “Reach” for $50 off the program Episode on Carbohydrates Episode on Protein Episode on Meal Timing   Please Review The Podcast on iTunes Please give the podcast an honest review on iTunes here to help the show reach more curious climbers around the world.

Have you ever wanted to build a business around a topic, activity, or field you're deeply passionate about?It's kind of the dream, right?Getting to work on something day in and day out that's fueled by your natural interest and enthusiasm.And for our special guest on this episode of our podcast – Neely Quinn – that dream became a reality back in 2013 when she started TrainingBeta. They're a membership site that provides people with world-class training programs, nutrition consulting, and educational resources for rock climbers.We're really excited to share this conversation with you because Neely reveals what really goes into turning a passion project into a profitable business.We explore the systems and strategies she's put in place over the past few years to attract a loyal audience, create engaging content, and manage her growing team.If you've ever wondered what really goes into building a successful membership site, this episode is for you.

Elyn Lytton is a 68-year-old climber from Colorado who started climbing in her early 50's and is still regularly crushing 5.12's (indoors and on toprope). She is also my mother-in-law and I'm constantly impressed by her. She's a really good example of a person who does things in the name of sustainability, meaning, she LOVES climbing and will do whatever it takes to be able to do it for many more years. In this conversation, we discuss her approach to climbing and what she does to make it work for her body (with the aches and pains that come with age). We also talk about how she started lifting heavy weights in the past couple years in order to improve her bone density, and how that's working out for her. Elyn has had setbacks with chronic migraines and arthritis/hand pain in the past, and we talk about how she's tackled those things successfully through diet so that she can climb several days a week pretty much as hard as she wants now. Something that's always struck me about Elyn is her ability to bend “norms” and just do what's right for her. For example, she only top ropes and she never climbs outside. She doesn't have any desire to do either of those things, but she loves climbing and gets a great workout all the same, and she encourages her climbing partners to take care of themselves in the way that she does, too. We talk about how people put pressure on each other (and themselves) to do more, more, more with climbing, but how sometimes that's not best for everyone for physical and mental reasons. One more thing to mention about Elyn is that she runs a business called Belay Optics, where she sells a patented version of belay glasses that go over your own glasses or sunglasses. You can find them on amazon here. I've gotten a lot of requests recently for interviews with older climbers, so I hope this is helpful to hear how Elyn makes climbing work for herself. But even if you are still a very young climber, there's something to be learned from her wisdom.       Elyn Lytton Interview Details Why she started climbing in her fifties How she fit climbing into her schedule with a demanding job before she retired How she deals with osteoarthritis in her fingers How she cured chronic migraines How her diet helps her climb hard and recover well How lifting heavy weights helped her osteoporosis and her climbing How climbing has changed her life for the better         Show Links Instagram @elynlytton and @belayoptics Use our Bouldering Training Program         Photo Family selfie!

I was interviewed on the Nugget! This is a re-post of an interview with me on the Nugget Climbing Podcast with host Steven Dimmitt. I love being on the other side of an interview occasionally, and Steven is a fantastic interviewer. We had some laughs, talked about some serious stuff, and I feel a little vulnerable about how much I shared personally, honestly.  I'm an open book, but when it's recorded and put out to the world, it's a little nerve wracking! I hope you enjoy this interview and maybe get to know me a little better (than you even wanted to). Here's Steven's description of the interview from his site, and he has some other good show notes on the episode page if you're interested. Neely Quinn is the founder of TrainingBeta, and the long-time host of The TrainingBeta Podcast. We talked about Neely's health journey and discovering paleo, not wanting a boss, why she decided to create TrainingBeta, lessons learned from hosting 160+ interviews, injuries and surgery, project piano pieces, kids vs. houses, and her new puppy named Willa.

About Alex Stiger Coach Alex Stiger recently had surgery on her finger to repair a ligament she tore when she accidentally smashed it on a hold while bouldering. I also just had surgery on my wrist (same surgeon, one month apart), so we’ve been in almost daily communication about our progress, frustrations, and small victories as we recover. Between the two of us, we’ve had a handful of pretty serious injuries, so we thought we’d discuss how we’ve dealt with those setbacks and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. It can be difficult to stay motivated and take care of yourself when all you really want to be doing is climbing. It can feel sort of like punishment sometimes, but the main things to remember are that you’ll get through it and you can (usually) become just as strong or stronger than you were pre-injury. In the meantime, we’ll tell you how we have learned to honestly enjoy being injured sometimes. Alex Stiger is a Certified Personal Trainer, Sports Performance Coach, and Head Coach at Movement Climbing + Fitness in Boulder Colorado. Alex spends most of her week working with clients of all levels and ages to help them reach their climbing goals. She has climbed 5.13d and is working towards her goal of climbing 5.14. If you’d like to work with her doing remote coaching, you can find more info on that at www.trainingbeta.com/alex.       Alex Stiger Interview Details Brief overview of our injuries What our recovery times are/were What we’ve been doing to stay psyched and happy despite injury Why it’s important to still be around climbing if it’s part of your social life Strengthening other weaknesses while your injury heals The frustrations of the medical industry Why we wish we would’ve sought help earlier       Alex Stiger Interview Links  Work with Alex as your coach  Instagram: @alex.stiger 1st Interview with Alex on the podcast 2nd Interview with Alex: How Getting Stronger Made Her a Better Coach    

About Neely Quinn and Alyssa Neill In this episode, I had a conversation with my friend and fellow nutrition practitioner, Alyssa Neill, about how to increase your energy levels using food. What you consume and when you consume it can have profound effects on your energy levels, and we’ll discuss the ins and outs of all of them. Even if you don’t “struggle” with energy levels, it’s quite possible that your energy could be even more on-point than it is now, and that can be low hanging fruit in terms of your climbing performance. I’m running a Nutrition for Climbers Program from August 28th through September 25th, all about how to improve your energy levels, lean out, and fuel for performance and recovery, as well as how to deal with some of the emotional eating issues I’ve talked about on this podcast. You can enroll until this Thursday, August 27th, here. Conversation Details The topics we covered in regards to increasing your energy levels: Carb intake Protein intake Meal timing Crag days Caffeine intake Sleep Water consumption   Links My new Nutrition for Climbers program (enrollment ends 8/27/20) Do one-on-one nutrition consulting with me Alyssa Neill Instagram: @nourishment_nutrition Website: www.nourishmentnutrition.com

About Neely Quinn and Alyssa Neill In this episode, I had a conversation with my friend and fellow nutrition practitioner, Alyssa Neill, about body image and disordered eating behaviors in climbers. We both have experienced negative body image and have worked with client on body image and disordered eating behaviors. We discuss candidly our own experiences with it all and provide tips on how to balance your diet to get all the nutrients you need while maintaining your optimal, healthy body composition. We talk about common behaviors we see in our clients that sabotage their performance and health goals, and how to improve those behaviors. And we provide mental/emotional tools to help deal with negative body image/body dysmorphia. This discussion was a very vulnerable one for me, and I discuss some personal things I’ve never talked about on the podcast before. Our hope with this episode was multifaceted: 1) we want to bring body image issues more into the open, 2) we want people to learn how to eat in order to avoid common emotional eating pitfalls, and 3) we want people to start re-thinking the “optimal body type” for climbers, and realize that extreme leanness is not the end all be all of climbing hard. It’s also incredibly important to be healthy and happy. Lastly, if you believe you have an eating disorder or are suffering with disordered eating behaviors, we encourage you to seek help. Whether that’s from a therapist, a nutritionist, a doctor, or all three, there are many resources out there for you. I did an interview with Kate Bennett, who is a therapist who specializes in eating disorders among athletes and she sees clients remotely. Alyssa is also currently taking clients remotely. Interview Details Our personal stories Common behaviors we see in clients Common signs and symptoms of disordered eating Mental/emotional tools that have helped me How limiting beliefs about your weight can affect climbing performance Our thoughts on “Intuitive Eating” How a balanced eating routine can help with emotional eating Dilemma of professional climbers How your hormones are affected by disordered eating     About Me (Neely Quinn, ICNT) A little about me that you might not know… After completing my Bachelor’s degree in both Psychology and Zoology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, I completed a 4-year holistic nutrition program called Seven Bowls School of Nutrition, Nourishment, and Healing. I graduated in 2007 as a Certified Integrative Clinical Nutrition Therapist. During my education, I learned about not only nutrition, but Western and Chinese herbs, homeopathy, the psychology of eating, and other alternative practices. I started practicing nutrition with private clients in 2007, and I’ve been working exclusively with climbers since 2015 to help them optimize their energy levels, body composition, climbing performance, and overall well-being. I was heavily involved in the Paleo nutrition community for a few years, and I was recruited to write The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Paleo, which was published in 2012. I’ve led nutrition seminars online, taught at Bauman College (a certificate program for nutrition), and taught several community classes in person. I’ve been a panelist at several conferences and festivals, including the International Climbers’ Festival in 2017-2019, and PaleoFX. I’m also an instructor for the Performance Climbing Coach seminars with Steve Bechtel et al, and I travel around the country with them to teach people about nutrition for climbers. Outside of my nutrition life, I’m the owner of TrainingBeta.com and the host of The TrainingBeta Podcast. I live in Longmont, Colorado with my husband and co-founder of TrainingBeta, Seth, and our dog, Zala. I’ve been sport climbing for 20+ years and I’ve worked with my diet extensively to figure out proper fueling and recovery for optimal climbing performance–a lifelong pursuit. For more info about who I am as a climber and a person, check out my personal bio.

I talked with sports psychologist, Dr. Chris Heilman, about how she works with people and then she does a session with me, Neely Quinn.

Neely’s back! If you’ve been following our podcast for awhile now, you might remember one of the very first episodes we recorded: How to Build a Thriving Community That Converts. In that episode, Neely revealed how she first started her membership business, the steps she took to build an engaged community, and how she ultimately made the business profitable. If you haven’t already listened to her first episode, be sure to go back and listen to it. Neely is an amazing entrepreneur and the brains behind TrainingBeta.com – a membership site and community that provides its members with everything they need related to rock climbing and bouldering. Neely has been a MemberMouse customer for many years and it has been a privilege to watch her grow and evolve her business over time. Today, she comes back on the show to share what she has been up to since we last spoke with her. Neely’s online membership business gives her the freedom and flexibility to travel around the world and pursue her passion for rock climbing. But, things weren’t always that way. In fact, in the early days of the business Neely had was she calls an “extreme focus” on her business. This ultimately led her to lose sight of the initial reason she started her business: to have the time and freedom to climb. It was so great to have Neely back on the show. We have a refreshing and real conversation about… -The challenges we face at different stages of business growth -Finding and claiming the freedom we first set out to achieve -Understanding the difference between product and membership sales -Getting comfortable with promoting yourself -And so much more Something we really appreciate about Neely is her realness and willingness to share the good and the bad about entrepreneurship. You won’t find any “rah, rah” hype in this episode, just a conversation between two travelers along the entrepreneurial path. We hope you enjoy and benefit from our conversation.

Neely Quinn is the founder of TrainingBeta, a membership site dedicated to providing training programs, nutrition consulting, and education resources for rock climbers. She joins us on the podcast today and shares the story of how she started TrainingBeta, built an audience, got her business off the ground and made it profitable. We cover topics like content strategy, community building, strategic outsourcing, and more.

Today's episode is a question and answer session from our Performance Climbing Coach Seminar, recorded live in Columbia, MD. On our final day the participants asked questions of our presenters, including Steve Bechtel and Charlie Manganiello from Climb Strong, Neely Quinn from TrainingBeta, Tyler Nelson from Camp 4 Human Performance, and Kelly Drager from the Canadian Climbing Team.  Our next seminar is happening October 10-12 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

If there is a polar opposite of "nutrionist", I'm it.  I blank out immediately when talking the details of nutrition.  Not so with our guest today, Neely Quinn.  Neely is a nutritionist, climber, and host of the TrainingBeta podcast.  I've known Neely for some time, but had never talked nutrition with her.  She spoke at the recent ClimbStrong Coaching Conference, and I appreciated her simple take on how we should all be eating.  I know some of you are like me, and this conversation may prove a little simpler to digest.  Pun intended.   You can find more about Neely at www.trainingbeta.com You can find us at www.powercompanyclimbing.com Support the podcast at www.patreon.com/powercompanypodcast Share us on your social medias!  Rate and Review in your iTunes!

About Neely Quinn I (Neely Quinn) am a Nutrition Therapist and a 5.13 rock climber, owner of TrainingBeta, and someone who's obsessed over food, health, and climbing performance since 1999. I've helped thousands of people find their optimal diet, lose weight, and be the best athlete they can be. My nutrition work lives at www.neelyquinn.com. As the host of the TrainingBeta podcast, I'm generally not the one in the spotlight in these interviews, but in this episode, I put my hide on the line and told you my opinions and advice about nutrition for climbers.  What I Talked About In this episode, I asked for questions from you guys before the episode and answered as many of them as I could before getting sick of hearing my own voice ;) A good carb, protein, fat ratio for climbers Whether intermittent fasting is good for climbers Whether ketosis is good for climbers Why healthy centenarians can eat grains but Paleo says they're bad for us How sugar affects us, and how much we should eat Blood type diet Other stuff Related Links Neely's nutrition website: neelyquinn.com Training Programs for You Check out the new Route Climbing Training Program for route climbers of all abilities.
