Lessons from a climbing coach/physio on how to stay strong and injury-resistant after 40

Hey team,
I had a chance to speak with climbing physio Andy McVittie on my podcast recently, and I think a few folks here might appreciate it—especially if you're pushing hard and want to do it for a few more decades without breaking down.

We talked about:
• How to maintain power and tendon resilience over time
• Adjusting training intensity as you age without going soft
• Why mobility + strength + load management > endless rehab
• Realistic strength protocols for aging climbers (not bro science)
• The big mindset shifts athletes over 35 need to make

Andy works with everyone from performance climbers to aging weekend warriors—and his insights have helped me rethink my own training around injury prevention and recovery.

Just thought some of you might dig the practical takeaways. It's in two parts:

Cheers, and stay healthy out there
