In this episode, we're back in the cellar for another board session. Aidan is training for his upcoming (at the time of filming) Switzerland trip and Jim is training for this year's competition season.
DISCLAIMER: Do not take this video as training advice... Resting is important for everyone ;)

I hope everyone enjoyed! For anyone wondering, the dimensions for the board are roughly 240cm by 240cm at 45 degrees overhanging. Disclaimer: Don't take training advice from this video... Everyone needs rest 😉

I used to feel the same with my fingers if I completely rest them for a period... feels like them fingers get atrophied and stiff very quickly when you stop using them after a hard training-cycle I found that doing light hangboarding, twice a day during rest days, much like Emil Abrahamsson's "Hangboard Training 2 Times Per Day For 30 Days" routine, has made my finger feel much better and healthier after my rest-periods not trying to give any advice to Aidan here of course, as he has some of the best coaches out there taking care of him, but if anybody else reading this feel the same, it might be worth giving this a go, it made a hell of a difference to me

Definitely get a lot out of no hangs as well, though last training cycle ended with 5 days of pushing myself to the edge and after the last day my body imploded so hard I could not put any pressure through my fingers for two days, as even hanging from a bar felt challenging. I may have gone too far... Or executed my cycle perfectly, yet to find out

I had a bad finger injury about 2 years ago and took a break from serious climbing sadly when I was at such a good point. I'm doing proper rehab exercises with my fingers and taking my time with it and I'm suddenly making rapid progress because I had given up multiple times because of the pain. now my fingers are almost pain free and I've partly managed to rebuild the base muscle in my hand which is exciting and giving me hope! I just want to say that you guys are beasts and make me want to get back in the game and it's a pleasure to watch your stuff.

How long of a rest do they take between goes. Love how Aiden goes from catching a crimp with a more open position; then turns it into an old school full crimp with the fingers driving into the crimp/ wall interface.

Often when trying individual moves it can be quite short, maybe a minute or so. Then when going for links it's usually more like 3 minutes 👍

I'm not a huge fan of the Wedge woody sessions in comparison with the outdoor content. Don't get me wrong these boys are straight gorilla's on the board, but as a viewer I find it snoozy watching small moves on small holds on the worlds smallest board. It would be class to see them on the mega steap woody board that Dan. V has at Eden rock. Or maybe, a session doing loads of wild V9/V10 benchmarks on the 2016 moonboard. I still enjoyed the video and it still gets a thumps up from me. I just thought I'd share my honest opinion. ATB team Wedge and keep up the good work ✌️

Hey guys I get so stoked watching your videos. You do a great job of showing how much mileage Aidan and Jim put in...how many hours they put into technique. At the same time it's obvious you guys put in the hours of practice into filming and editing. I was wondering...where do you get your music from? I'm starting to edit full time and I guess paying for music is something I need to start looking into. Thanks and keep up the great work.

What kind of holds do u recoment more for a home wall ? And in wich angle is the board ?

@WEDGECLIMBING 11 ай бұрын

It's good to have a mix of shapes and sizes. Typically people will have mainly crimps on this kind of board, but it's good to have other grip types as well. It kind of depends on your ability level as to how bad you make them. These guys use very poor holds, but are well conditioned to climbing on that kind of thing. It's also worth getting comfortable holds so that you don't ruin your skin or risk injuring yourself. This board is 45 degrees 👍

@rmplstltskn5548 Жыл бұрын

The finger strength of these two is baffling. Out of curiosity, do you they use "open" feet. They pick out hand holds but do they also choose feet to use? Or are there certain feet that are always on?

@WEDGECLIMBING Жыл бұрын

Normally any of the small feet, sometimes the bigger ones if the holds are really bad 👍

@craigbritton1089 Жыл бұрын

As I commented above: Aiden catches most the crimps with a more open position and then turns it into a more traditional full crimp with the angle driving the fingers into the wall/ crimp intersection. Doing that dramatically can improve a small crimp; on both high angle and low angle crimps. This also allows for a longer reach. Knowing when to use this technique and when to save the torque on your tendons by staying open hand or half crimp is often the difference of succeeding or failing on longer and complicated problems/ routes

Just a random question. How much rest do you need after a 3 hour board session? Id prob need 24 to 48 hours but obv only doing upto 7c atm i Often need 48 hours cos my tendons hurt otherwise man. Just wondering are you now strong enough to do it everyday and still improve tendon strength wise or do you still need 24 hours rest doing no climbing? It might seem a stupid question.

@WEDGECLIMBING Жыл бұрын

Aidan and Jim climb on boards pretty regularly, often multiple days in a row. But they are obviously very well conditioned to cope with that volume of high intensity climbing
