We’re diving into how intention transforms resistance training. Spoiler alert: our athletes like Brandon Gay don’t stretch—they activate. By using science-backed techniques like Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), Brandon preps his body before training to reduce injury risk and maximize results. Every rep, set, and rest period is intentional, designed specifically for him.

Climbers, if your training feels random, it probably is. Ready to train smarter and climb stronger?

Spoiler alert: it’s not just about climbing harder or training more—it’s about training smarter. With limited time and energy, intentionality becomes your biggest lever for progress.
