pull cue: crank that Soulja boy push cue: now watch me yoooooouuu

My left ear enjoyed the ending

I've been climbing for a little over a month and I am having issues with my elbow becoming inflamed as well. Glad to see an explanation and fix on youtube instead of the doctors office

This is just the video I needed, since I spend a lot of my time on the wall doing dynamic movements. Can't wait for the rest of the series!

Wow! Your content is always super informative and applicable, but I have been dealing with TONS of forearm pain that has resulted in multiple long breaks. It's inspiring to see you overcome this and also provide a path forward. Super great resource, THANK YOU

thanks for the effort of providing such a valuable video My climbing style is also very reliant on dead pointing and dynamic movements but I recently started to incorporate lock offs in some movements where it felt necessary, and i fell like it makes me a more well rounded climber Cheers

1) Make sure your sound levels are the same across video. 2) Pros should be green and cons red

As someone who has been climbing for a while and still struggles with the "strength" side of lock-offs, its a good reminder that lock-offs are a technique to be used rather than just a way to reach the next hold. This video was very insightful and I can see how this can help tons of climbers, such as myself. Good stuff👌 These are thins I find myself telling myself throughout my session and reminding others of as well, so I look forward to sharing this video with my friends :)

wish i knew the part about recruiting lats 2 years ago, only discovered it by trial and error in the last few months, and it's more or less eliminated my golfer's elbow that i'd been suffering from for a year.

Loving your videos dude! FYI the best queue I learned for lat engagement is to pull with your elbows and just treat your elbow to your hand like a meat hook. That's why I struggle with using my lats while climbing even though I bodybuilded for so long, I'm not used to actively gripping small shit so hard WHILE trying to use my lats.

super helpful video. Will try to be more intentional about this in my next session.

Glad you liked it! I'm sure that intentionality with enough consistency will go a long way

just incase you didnt know, at 6:24 youtube HATES this kinda stuff and will just ruin the video quality when smtn like that is on the screen, kinda weird but helps to know

tysm for the heads up, I'll adjust how I edit going forward. I wonder if it's cause of channels that steal content but then use stuff like this in random spots as a way to evade content id

@@BetaBoiBrandon nah it’s just smtn to do with the compression/how they process the videos, there’s a word for it specifically but that word has fully gone out of my head🤣

Another pro, if you don't know what the intended hold is like, you can hold your position to feel what the hold is like. You can then sink back into the original position and come up with a plan on the next set of moves. Good for winning an on sight.

One asterisk: medial epicondylitis (eg golfer’s/climbers elbow pain) isn’t caused solely by poor form with lock offs, and can be effectively controlled with proper rehab/prehab work on the related tendons. Usually the root cause is actually over crimping coupled with inadequate tendon recovery time. I had it real bad when I first started climbing frequently, but after following a rehab program for several weeks it subsided. Haven’t had any issues in many months, and I climb the same way as before. YMMV, but just in case anyone is feeling it, rest assured you can solve it. That said, lock offs are great! It is a great technique, and tips like yours are definitely wise to try. It’s also a pretty “isolated” type of move, so you can see improvement more easily 👍

Haha yeah YMMV is the best takeaway, thanks for taking the time to comment that. I definitely don't intend for this to be about how to solve all elbow pain, just how the movement patterns in the video helped for my own case. In a similar vein, I don't think I've ever felt elbow pain from crimping (and I do crimp a lot), so I think that really shows the individuality of experience that different climbers go through. Thanks again for sharing!

Hey Buddy, thanks for the video. I am also a big fan of tennis, and just started to pick up the interest of bouldering. I just have a concern and you would be the perfect person to answer given your experience. Given tennis requires very loose grip on 90% of the time, do you think climbing might make your wrist too tight to play tennis and hurt it sometimes? The reason I ask is every time I play tennis within 1 day or 2 of playing badminton, I will find my wrist not be able to relax enough and it hurts the next day. So I stop playing badminton for a long time. Not sure if you have similar experience with climbing + tennis? I am a bit hesitating on taking climbing as my next best hobby just for this concern, hope to get some thought from you. Thanks!

I feel like such a badass whenever I lock-off and go for something really statically and controlled 🤣Makes the pull-up training worth it!
