Adam Ondra training interview

Eveningsends has a great interview with Adam Ondra talking about training and how he could win the two World champions titles. "I must say … I really enjoyed the training! The sacrifice, the pain. In the end you just get to climb A LOT during training, so isn’t that great? Compared to working on a project outdoors, you make a lot more climbing moves day to day during a training period... Starting in February, I spent 3.5 months of training really hard, which consisted of climbing in the gym 6 or 7 days a week... During these periods, I would spend up to 30 hours per week training: climbing, campusing, TRX... If there were a lead competition with a crimp ladder of short moves, it would be almost impossible for me to win because the short climbers would have simply a better body size for that. And they can hang on longer because they weigh less.
