@Harold James Hacking your non-existing girlfriends

Exactly! Its freaking mind blowing how clear he is.

He's the Jeremy Ethier of climbing lol

Dennis HP most muscle groups have an agonist/antagonist relationship because muscles pull, thus another muscle has to pull in the opposite direction to mimic a push. Interestingly, forearm muscles work together for flexion and extension, therefore a better term might be primary/secondary relationship for them.

O course if we all have a front part and a back part..

I think that as long as you warm up properly and don't over do it you can probably do these exercises after climbing every session. If you know you have training exercises to do, it might mean holding back a bit on your climbing session so that you don't strain yourself.

...socks? Socks are a bad idea. The point is friction.

Stilts! Iceskates?

man, called out.

This is very helpful thank you! Also you have a great voice.

Totally agree

Why?

@@Krazyyerttle i think they're different. I don't know heaps about muscles, but with the basics I do know: you move with muscles. Different moves stress different muscle groups, similar moves stress the same groups with different load spread across them.

@@harrytaylor2479 horizontal pulling vs. vertical pulling. It's easier to notice the difference in the pushing motion, since nobody would think regular push-ups and handstand push-ups hits the same muscle groups. But it's the same as in rows vs. pull-ups

Most strength training may be done after limit climbing sessions or before with progressions as part of a warmup before endurance or technical sessions. Some are even good amidst climbing sessions as part of conditioning training, such as pushups, allowing you to maintain general exhaustion levels while getting antagonistic workouts but recovering enough pulling force to try hard such as between a 4x4 or similar circuit of climbs. אליענה רובינס-מורגנשטרן

@@Cacovangor thank you!

i just started climbing like 1 - 2 months ago and my wrist hurts now. it would be nice to get some tips to recover faster.

jimmy kraft hey, how many sessions per weeks have you been doing? And were they all heavy sessions? 2 months is a pretty short time to get injured I think, but it is most likely to happen If you have no sports background (or never have been training in a gym). But it mostly happens if you don’t reste enough between sessions

Depends on the type of injury but in order to recover faster, you should pay more attention to stretching maybe? And of course warming longer or more importantly smarter is probably the way to go if you want to continue climbing while your wrists aren’t totally healed

@@Paul-es5tz i have been doing 2 sessions per week i mostly do the grades i know i can do sometimes i try to do 1 grade higher. also i dont really have a sports background or atleast nothing that used a lot of weight. additional information: i am overweight, i tried to do a boulder once that had 2 crimps as starting hold but no foot holds, i tried doing the slopers on the campus wall once because i wanned to see if it was hard

Be careful with your wrists! I had a tendinitis that stopped me from climbing for 6 months, and doing anything was painful. It's super important to warm up but there are also wrist exercises you can do, Shona Vertue has a video for example.

Ring dips won't be easier unless you have a very stable body. You're pushing down while your arms are trying to fly around...I don't think that's easier on the joints 1min rest is because the workout's intense since it requires multiple muscles being engaged. This is about oxygen. It's general advice, up to you and your body. Minimum rests are 30sec

Tori Martin that’s in CO, right? Or upstate CA? I’ve heard of it.

Mi Di it’s in the Bay Area, California!

Tori Martin Have you been to Touchstone?

Mi Di what do you mean? Touchstone is a climbing company that owns 12 gyms.. are you referring to a specific location?

Tori Martin Right, do you go to any of those facilities within their company? There HQ is in SF, they have some down here in LA, Vertigo, LA Boulders, Cliffs of ID (Culver City) , just curious if you go to one of their gyms. Sender One is TS its in the LAX area, world class athletes climb there.

nikonever94 depends on how far you are locking off, but I generally agree that use of the peg board is less effective than other pull up variations unless focusing on height, duration, and control of the lockoff. I lack a peg board but will end at least a session a week with significant campus lock offs.

Dip negatives/eccentric dips are a good way to train extra reps (for concentric/upward). Set your hands on the dip bars and then jump into the top position. Lower slowly so that it takes 3-5 seconds to reach bottom position. That's 1 rep. Set your feet down and then jump up again to top position to initiate the next rep. Perform up to 4-6 reps of the negatives and that should increase your concentric reps.

Endurance

The idea is that if your agonist muscles get a lot stronger than your antagonist muscles, you'll be more vulnerable to injury. The risk increases as the muscle imbalance gets more extreme. So doing antagonist exercises is generally recommended, especially since agonist muscles are gonna be worked anyway just by climbing.

The antagonist muscles can also occasionally come in handy too, offwidths, mantling and compression moves all use pushing muscles.

I started sleeping upside down wearing a bat costume to acclimate myself to this exercise. With the blood rush to my head, I thought I was Batman and I now fight crime at night.

avoiding shoulder impingement due to the angle of the head if the humerus in relation to your shoulder joint

I think it tells people who train shirtless to use towels on the machines ! :)

Uhhh....

I actually liked the music and after a while didn't notice it.
