INSIGHTS ANTAGONIST TRAINING FOR CLIMBERS

INSIGHTS ANTAGONIST TRAINING FOR CLIMBERS | What about the triceps?

Do we need triceps for climbing? Alex Megos & Chris Hanke investigating the role of the triceps in climbing and showing you exercises that we have done ourselves as motivation for training the antagonists. Many forget about the antagonists when climbing, so we have chosen to focus a bit more on the triceps. Many exercises naturally target not only the triceps. This video is not a training recommendation but serves as inspiration and motivation. We are fans of describing things as simply as possible because the goal is always to transfer knowledge to the wall. If you feel the topic is too superficially addressed, let us know. We have plenty of sports scientists and sports medicine experts on hand to delve into more detail in another tutorial... no worries ;)
Enjoy watching and remember, when you are not happy with the content there is no need to be here and watch us guys having a good time. Watch other things or do some pull ups instead. No stupid comments, we don´t care! Unless they are funny of course ;-)

they just told you atleast 20 push ups. but in my opinion you better train heavy with bench 3 to 5 reps so you grow less muscle.

to complete the traditional push ups personally I prefer push down an elastic band which is hanged above head, in gyms they have the vertical pulley with weight which is similar. Also planks or standing on straight arms on a table with minimum weight on feet

@sammiller1003 27 күн бұрын

I would say with pushups that correct form is very important. It is easy to cheat the pushup and do what feels easy. Many reps of what feels easy builds bad habits of motion and can set you up for injury. 20 pushups consecutively for most people will require this suboptimal form. There is so much nuance to the pushup!

@markusmieth3501 27 күн бұрын

Tolles Video, aber hier eine kleine Korrektur: wenn ihr das Training mit der Stange macht und das Gewicht über den Kopf hebt, so ist das eine konzentrische Muskelanspannung für den Schulter- und Oberarmbereich. Wenn dann daraufhin das (freie!) Gewicht wieder abgesenkt wird, also gegen die Schwerkraft arbeitet, so ist das eine hauptsächlich exzentrische Muskelspannung der gleichen Muskelgruppe. Es ist trainingswissenschaftlich streng genommen nicht mit einer Kletterbewegung vergleichbar, denn da seid ihr im geschlossenen System und genau die antagonistische Muskulatur arbeitet. Bei dem einen ist es hoch drücken und bei dem Anderen hoch ziehen. Die Handstandtips sind spitze und das Dip-Training auch. Sportliche Grüße und weiter so!

@herrar6595 26 күн бұрын

Uiii, der erste Absatz ist korrekt, der zweite sehr flach gesehen. Zum einen da auch bei Zugebewegungen wie einem Klimmzug der hintere Deltoid und je nach Griffbreite und Form auch der Trizeps arbeiten, zum anderen weil Klettern auf die Zugbewegung zu reduzieren dem Breiten spektrum an Bewegungsformen nicht gerecht wird. Ein Gaston ist ein gutes Beispiel von einem Move, der nicht direkt wie ein Stütz aussehen muss, aber mehr den Trizeps als die Armbeuger beansprucht

Pushing is so underrated for climbers! Most active climbers have solid backs and some biceps at a low body fat percentage. If they just did some pushing exercises like this, they'd have very impressive physiques! Lots of climbers I see are missing this potential

tricepsss?

@Noneymar1 27 күн бұрын

triceps in thumbnail, triceps in intro , proceeds to show many exercises targeting fe deltoids over the triceps. Its not a big thing and I havent watched the full vid yet. But i kinda dislike that with their training focused stuff sometimes, especially when its easy to fix like here: just say pushing for climbing and you are completly fine. Or just disclaim from the start that youre not aiming for perfectly correct training describtion and exercise explonation (maybe they will do that further into the vid but imo this gotta be at the beginning, cristal clear). Just writing something vague in the describtion box doesnt do the trick either. But as long as they dont show and give super dumb or dangerous advice everythings cool in general. Nothing wrong about slightly incorrect, incomplete or inefficient training advice as thats not what these videos are aiming to or even can be. But again, they could say that right away.

@alexandermegos8129 27 күн бұрын

We are completely free to show super dumb exercises too if we feel like it. The thing though is, there are no dumb exercises. There are only dumb people doing them 😂 Our training focused stuff is practical advise based on experience. Only science and terminology won't make you any stronger, training though will 😉

While it’s great that you guys are interested in such topics, and you should keep exploring this area, you simply do not understand the kinesiology of the triceps and the glenhumeral joint well enough to make training prescriptions for climbers.
