It's a fear that haunts Alex Megos in his worst nightmares and that hovers over him like the sword of Damocles: leg day. Here you can see how the climbing pro overcomes his aversion to leg training and prepares for his next tough project.
Squats, endurance runs, pulling loads - it's forms of training like this that do Alex Megos wake up from sleep. The idea of having to do leg training for life is difficult for the professional climber to bear. Luckily it was all just a bad dream and Megos' foray into acting was an amusing clip in his recent training video. There, the 29-year-old is preparing for his next tough project.
