I remember reading a post on the blog where Mike (I believe) described how little he actually trains. The premise was that the intelligent design of a good research program means that you don't need to over train and that resting enough is key to making progress.
I remember there being a joke at the start about how scientists should do research on him to figure out how he can get strong by being lazy. Anyways, I have searched the blog archive several times without success.
Anyone remember which post I am asking about?
thanks!

tedwelser I've heard them say something about that and joke about it on the Training Beta podcast interview. Any chance you might have heard it there instead of read it on the blog?

If you're ever trying to determine who wrote a blog post, you could just guess Mark and you would be right about 81% of the time. Not that I'm keeping score or anything  |

At this point, I catch myself telling people about "The Rock Climbers Training Manual by Mark Anderson" and then have to correct myself "wait, that's Mark & Mike Anderson"

At this point, I catch myself telling people about "The Rock Climbers Training Manual by Mark Anderson" and then have to correct myself "wait, that's Mark & Mike Anderson" Mike unquestionably wrote more than his share of the book. He's just not that into the web stuff anymore for whatever reason (I think because his work situation is less conducive to it, whereas I sit at a computer all day).
We mostly split up the chapters, although some involved a lot of collaboration. For those we generally wrote individually the other often wrote certain sections and was always heavily involved in outlining the content and editing each draft. IIRC I mostly wrote chapters 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 15 (so I'm responsible for disappointing Peter Beal, haha). Mike mostly wrote 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14. The others we wrote together (we drafted an outline, and then assigned different sections, so for example ch 13, Mike wrote the first draft of the Onsighting stuff and I wrote the first draft of the Redpoint Strategy stuff). I created most of the graphics; Mike did all of the uncredited photography and photo editing. I think in the early drafts it would probably be easy to identify each author's "voice", but after many rounds of editing it all gets homogenized.
Edit to add: Also, the book never would have happened if not for Mike writing The Making of A Rock Prodigy. It was a deliberate choice to put Mike's name first on the cover, because I felt like he deserved more credit for making the book happen (both for writing the article way back when and writing the text for the book).
