I don’t think the guy who flashes v8 is a beginner ,right?

cảm ơn bro😢

I have a question. Why train the biceps portion of the curl with chin ups and not with a unilateral variation? perhaps assisted by a band, for example. Is it because it is safer for the elbow?

Yoo so I just finished "the myth of sisyphus" after ur recommendation (thanks, btw, it was a nice read!), but I feel I don't fully understand what he means by this "revolt" the rest of the conclusion seems quite clear but I am confused as to what it means to revolt against the absurd (without hampering the divorce within it which would clash with ones freedom). M sure rereading would help but would love ur insight :)

How long does it take to lose the weight after hopping off creatine? How much time before peak performance would you stop taking it?

Thanks Loi! I m doing with band atm and I will try this method

Awesome video! Do you have any numbers we should hit? Such as how heavy to load the weighted chin-ups or how long to one arm hangs before we can attempt the OAP?

very insightful

covering both philosophy and climbing is unexpected but very welcome. keep doing what you're doing!

Im so glad i found your channel before you guys get famous. Fire vids as always

I tried your method and i realised my shoulder is the weak point

Where do you get your earrings from? They are very cool

Here's one comment 💰I'm here for future bookclub rants.

Great video man

great video

toyko powder friction mantle magdust try to get some very low/mid price to see in % how longer you hang etc.

so... 🤔 you flash V17 because you're Satoru Gojo? Or are you Satoru Gojo because you flash V17?

This was one of the best "climbing" videos I've seen, you should do more like this one mixed with philosophy! It really gets you thinking

get some tokyo powder to test

Camus on downclimbing: "A face that toils so close to stones is already stone itself! I see that man going back down with a heavy yet measured step toward the torment of which he will never know the end."

Try tokyo industries chalk for the tier list please! They have more variants so you could play around with that as well.

This is good stuff right here

that's cool! i thought i was the only one who doesnt like trying hard haha i just want things to feel easy all the time life is hard enough sometimes with work :D

the albert camus of climbing

Have u ever had an injury that has slowed down your progress from training, because I recently dislocated my shoulder from a gaston causing a labral tear and am wondering if I’ll be able to get back to my level and progress well

Schould i do lockoffs after Those methods or do you even recommend it?

I had kidney failure when I was 17 from taking creatine (it reversed and is now working fine), took the normal dose as you should but I wasn’t drinking enough water. Thought I was doing everything right but no one ever told me you should drink a minimum of a gallon of water per day while on it. Long story short do your research before taking any supplements, it can happen to anyone

Fellow sports climber here! Man I'm so glad I discovered your channel and instantly subscribed! I really appreciate your on-point presentation, the experience and mindfulness that shines through your arguments and the refreshingly new perspectives that you share! 💪 I'm supplementing creatine for about 2 years now, mainly because I can confirm that it greatly affects my recovery. ~5g/day, gained about 2kg back when I started, (now 72kg, 182cm). I'm trying my best to schedule 3x/week of exercise: once a week indoor volume climbing plus OAP-oriented workout, once a week indoor bouldering and once a week hard sports climbing on rock. I'm turning 40 soon, no kids, enough sleep, healthy diet, office job, no alcohol/smoking - I still feel young but I need to pay much more attention to resting than just few years ago.

hey loi, i just broke my collarbone in 3 places and im gonna need surgery with estimated recovery about 3 months. any tips on how i should bounce back to climbing once im recovered?

7:44 brings back memories, when I fell with thebar, during L-Sit pullups in lockdown. 🙈

short answer for me personally: YES! i work construction 5 days a week and i need every extra power i can get because im always exhausted i can imagin people who climb alot will benefit too. i saw i spike in hard sends i went from 6b to 6c in one month i think that says it all for me.

Lol the irony of telling us "climbers don't use their muscles" while having tree stumps instead of forearm.

While at it, try heroine too. It gets you high.

taking creatine this summer to try and work on my aesthetics a little bit while the competition season is over 🫡

I've been on creatine 5g dose for about 1.5 years, having climbed for about a year beforehand. I gained about 3kg, but weight has stayed the same since the initial weight gain. The only issue I have/had was pip swelling, which started when I started moonboarding. But I feel like that's just a common problem with too much crimpy board climbing.

The fall at 7:44 looked painful but I can’t stop laughing sorry 😂

To this day the most painful thing that's ever happened to me is the same thing that happened to you in this video. My pull-up bar slipped off the door frame and I fell with both knees directly onto the floor, and I was convinced I had shattered both kneecaps. I started doing doorframe pull-ups with a pillow below me until I got a power cage in my office

10lb gain on creatine seems pretty unusual. Usually it’s like 2-5lb at most. Possible you’re a hyper responder

Just a friendly suggestion: you flare your elbows quite a lot for your pull ups, also check your tempo especially on the eccentric part. Check out some reliable good resources on pull up form. I know you’re strong, but bad form may cost you injuries long term and you get older… keep the good work on ✋🏼💪🏼🙏

Duuuuuuude! That fall looked brutal!!! But you went back into the creatine discussion like it didn’t happen 😂 But I use creatine on and off throughout the year. Been doing it for the past 5 years or so. I usually start it during a strength mesocycle.

i could watch 7:44 all day

Yooo he’s back

I think the benefits from the "padding" you receive that protects your joints, muscles, and tendons is more than worth the slightly higher water weight you retain on creatine. It's usually 2-5lb though, 10lb seems abnormal

I definitely got the recovery and some strength benefits, I put on little to no mass, I gained like 3 pounds but at the same time I also started eating more and training in the gym properly so the water weight didn’t hugely affect me

How quickly did you put on 10lbs? You look like you’re about the same size as me (but I’m 20lbs lighter) and I’ve found that when I put on 5lbs quickly, like over 2-3 weeks, it takes just as long to feel as strong as I did before. I’m 5’7 (170cm) and 135lbs (61.5kg), just to compare to how much water weight I’d gain in comparison because I don’t have as much muscle to absorb said water.

Loved this video, I have started taking creatine recently and have been wondering if it is actually helping my climbing or just helping me get stronger. It was great hearing your takes on the weird balancing act climbers need to do when trying to get stronger
