I mean he did show a clip of him beasting a wide pinch move that he said he couldn't do last time he tried.. but I agree, it would be nice to hear more about real-world results. Quantified numbers are nice, but it's hard to tell how much 5-10 pounds of pinch strength impacts your climbing ability. That being said, he's a V7 climber, I don't think 1 month of pinch training is going to make him magically jump up to V8, so it's difficult to show real world improvements in the way that you probably want to see.
@matthewadkins9810 5 жыл бұрын
If anything it would make him more efficient at climbing his current V7 proficiency, which would allow him to get closer to V8 sooner because he can train more effectively now.
@GeekClimber 5 жыл бұрын
Even though I did a few V7s before, those routes have zero pinches and really suit my style. There are some V4/5/6s that I couldn't finish because of my weak pinch strength, but now my completion rate of those are higher because of the pinch training.

Hey, quick tip. Use a plate instead of a dumbell. Less horizontal sway and more balanced when you tie it thru the hole in the middle instead of securing a tie around a cylindrical object. This will affect your results because now all you have to worry about is fighting gravity instead of horizontal momentum and imbalance

I'd like to add to this and say spend the 15 bucks on Amazon and buy a loading pin. They have a carabiner hole at the top and are usually a standard diameter to fit most plates. You can most likely clip your block directly to the carabiner on the top and off you go

So after watching that video I started doing that stuff with a simple makeshift pinch block and weight plates. In the beginnin I could only do the 6 reps with 7.5kg on the right and 10 kg on the left hand. I didn't do it every day, but probably around 10-15 times since the release of your video. As of now I just did the 6 reps routine for three sets with 15kg on each hand and afterwards even completed one set with 17.5kg on each hand. Definitely worth the effort and can easily be done after a round of hangboarding and pull up training. Chalk makes a huge difference for me, as my selfmade block quickly greases up otherwise.

I taped the weights Plates and I pinch directly on those. You have multiple sizes and it cost you almost nothing if you already have a pair of dumbbells. I don't know why all the people in video make one hand a time. I prefer to do it with both hands at the same time with one weight per hand, having a nice and symmetric posture is much easier this way.
@mkyubeo4867 5 жыл бұрын

@@mat650 But consider this: Training only one side engages your abdominals, especially your obliques and they have to work to get you to your symmetric posture.

Well, two birds with one stone from this video. First, training with a pinch block will help with pinchers and the extensor muscles. Second, my wife will stop asking me what I'm going to do with these random 2x and 1x4 cuts I have in my woodshed. HERE, TAKE MY LIKE!

good video. Shipping to europe costs as much as the product though

Glad you like it! I suppose you can make your own pinch block if you have the time! The improvement I felt from pinch training is very obvious!

@@GeekClimber "if you have the time". I just bought a piece of square wood at a hardware store and used a saw to cut off a piece. I then use a belt loop to "attach" my weight plates to it and depending on orientation I have 3 different widths available on the block. Took about 5 minutes to build. But it seems mr. hoerst recommends just using a wide grip anyway.

Just so you know I have standards for promoting products in my channel. I turned down a lot of easy money like promoting "skillshare", "squarespace" etc. This product is a pinch block that is going to make you stronger in climbing. What are you complaining about?

Haha, I only trained with 15 lbs and 20lbs, so I was pretty confident that I wouldn’t lose my grip that easily!

Just do more pinch climbing?
@Kefford666 5 жыл бұрын
2ossy I bet he will do after this! :) but there is a difference between training for climbing and climbing, just like practicing a musical instrument and playing a performance
@GeekClimber 5 жыл бұрын
That could work but that’s a less controlled condition. It’s like saying you don’t need hangboard training because you can do more crimp climbing.

Man, I’m going to start making pinch blocks and selling them.. A wooden block with a hole in it and a cord that goes through the whole. Check. $20 please
