These are so good! Could you do a practical "how to review your own video footage at the boulder?". Maybe three key principles for watching your own footage. Plus what apps are helpful for a quick review with no service. For example I can do a move in isolation but can't do it from the start. What is a quick way to analyze what is different on my phone? Right now I go home and take screenshots and then flip back and forth to see what is going on and it takes forever.

Thank you for the video. I really like this idea of approaching climbing and the use of our bodies in practice in a very objective way. Understanding that there are forces at play, ways to optimize them, while taking into account the bio dynamics of this superb tool that is our body. I hope to be able to keep this in mind and to be both more attentive to my body (if it hurts it's probably because I'm not engaging my body properly for the movement) and to have a more technical reflection on the optimization of my gestures.

I really like these explanations. To get even more learning out of this content I have an idea for a variation. A video like this, but with us thinking about the movements first: - short clip with a teachable moment at normal speed - same clip in slow-motion - ask a question - "pause the video" - I, the viewer think about the question and the clip for a minute - quick answer to the question - explanation - next clip - ... I think that could help to learn more deeply and forces us to imagine ourselves in the different body positions even more.

I'm climber number 4. Thank you so much for the advice!! Question: you mentioned weak biceps femoris could cause the internal heel hook rotation. Does the conventional deadlift train that or the other hamstring muscles? I have a 405lb conventional DL, but maybe trying sumo, or Nordic curls would help? Also, I have pretty tight hips, so I'll definitely be stretching them out to make external rotation easier. And for the top out, I definitely need to dial it! I did it once and thought I'd be fine, but dialing techniques like dropping the heel I'll definitely remember to do. Thanks so much!!

@HoopersBeta Жыл бұрын

Hello climber number 4! :) It can be the cause, yes. Those exercises all evenly load the hamstrings and thus don't create the bias to the biceps femoris you might need. But, strength might *not* be the issue. It could be the hip mobility you mentioned, or it could simply be what you are accustomed to doing. You may have started by default in that position and have just done it by default. But regardless, glad that we gave you something to consider / think about for dialing the climb in!

@danielbeall7725 Жыл бұрын

Glad it helped, thanks for the submission! If it helps, I really like bent over horse stance as a hip opener. Personally I find it to be a lot more accommodating of hip structure than something like a frogged stretch, but both are good, and comes down to personal preference!

Awesome video. Congrats! What would be the difference between the rings emulating climbing movement excercises showned at 22'22'', and actual climbing on an overhanging wall with good holds? Obviously the second adds the complexity of footwork but for easier boulder problems it's almost like standing on the ground. So in this case, why not try to create consciounsess on the wall, as hole. Thanks a lot for great VIDEO!!!!

Is the same rule applicable to considering wrist position during the bench press? I feel more stable pressing with the wrist positioned as on the right picture yet it seems wrong bcs it puts more pressure on the wrist.

Whenever Hooper asks people on IG to send videos in, I always consider it, but ultimately choose not to. Given the people showcased in these videos, I feel like I don't climb hard enough outdoors to even warrant a submission. I do wish more lower end outdoor climbing (V2~5) is shown. While these videos are useful, I feel like a lot of nuance is lost on us mortals. With 80k subscribers, I'm curious how many are actually sending hard stuff (let alone outdoors) where these analyses and finetuning of movements become practical and relevant. To recap, the boulders featured in this video in order: outdoor V8, indoor V5, outdoor V10, outdoor V6, outdoor V7.

@HoopersBeta Жыл бұрын

You should send one in! Part of the issue sometimes is we simply don't receive enough quality submissions of outdoor climbs in that grade range but we would be happy to incorporate them :)

@danielbeall7725 Жыл бұрын

Also, the techniques discussed in these videos are relevant at all grade ranges, and I think you would be astounded how much of a difference they make at the lower grades. I have a bunch of friends and clients climbing V0-5, and the exact same things carry come up, though typically a bit less subtle. For the most part technique and tactical improvements are far faster, and bring similar or greater results than trying to increase strength. (Not that strength isn’t important, it will definitely be the final limiter at some point)

@danielbeall7725 Жыл бұрын

But you’re absolutely right! We should do an episode focusing on those grades in particular.

@MrWhoabuddy Жыл бұрын

When you're tired, why does your body naturally begin doing things that are mechanically worse rather than naturally find ways to climb more efficiently? The same applies to fear. When you're scared, your body naturally does things that make it more likely for you to get hurt or die. The fight/flight response only seems to really work if you're running. When you're on the wall and you get scared, you begin sweating, thinking irrationally...pretty much everything that contributes to you falling. Some people say our bodies are incredible, but i say our bodies are naturally pretty fucking stupid.

@jon-williammurphy9780 Жыл бұрын

This is tight, solid movement analysis. Love the range of stuff and the demos and extras, Dan is the man. But, alas, I've got a gripe. Dan's first comment on Seven Spanish seems incorrect. Left heal is not loading into RH gaston, that would be the case if it was a toe. Oh, he catches it? It's kind of contradictory. I mean, the heal is unchanged and he draws the arrow 90 degrees to how it was first drawn. My solution for her would branch based on how the right hand feels. Does it feel bomb? then turn left foot to a toe and drop that right leg plumb, reel that RH gaston in tight, drive hips over toe, hinging around the RH to stay in the strong position. If the right hand feels bad I would do what he said.

@danielbeall7725 Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure where the miscommunication is, but we’re saying almost exactly the same thing here. I suggested that she move the heal so that it functions as both a heal and a toe. There was no catch. It is too far to the left and pulls to the left. This disengages the Gaston. She would likely have fared better with the heel an inch or so to the right. The hold rounds there and is somewhat incut. This allows you to pull with the heel to set up, then to drive with the heel to oppose. It is not the only method for this boulder, but it does work wonderfully. A toe could certainly work. In many similar situations it could even work better. For this particular climb, the heel cams in a way that a toe cannot, and for most people it will be the superior method. It is also far easier to set a heel than a toe in this case. The right hand is a decently sized but flat to slopey Gaston. Opposition is essential. I apologize if the markings weren’t clear to you. It seems to be a reasonably good tool, but the need to use 2 dimensional drawing to depict 3 dimensional holds and movements poses some difficulty.
