I know this is a super old video but if anyone wants one more thing that I use it that I think helps it's climbing routes with as fancy and aesthetic of beta as possible. On low-end climbs, I try and do what will look the coolest in my mind from the ground and very slow with shaking out hands ever few holds. Back steps, flags, heel and toe hooks, knee bars or anything else is excellent but on routes where you don't need any of it. lol

Can we just take a moment to realize how great of a coach @captaincutloose is? Every exercise was filled with positive motivation. Any critiques were given in a kind and uplifting manner. All types of educators should strive to have the characteristics and traits shown in this video.

Thanks a lot for this video, I can't wait to try these excercises out

Awesome, a lot more enjoyable than classic training ! I'll definitly try that, cheers !

I did quite a few sessions with catalyst coaches and they’re so awesome! So much fun it doesn’t feel like exercise (until after you’ve finished find yourself exhausted 😁)

Excellent exercises -- will be trying this out in my gym. Thanks, Nate!

Louis is such a funny and nice guy ;)

i used some of these methods, worked well so far!

Could you please work on normalising the audio? Headphones on, keep getting volume up because I can't hear what you're saying, exercise 2 and suddenly I am about to throw headphones away from me as it's so loud!

I'm going to implement some of these! Thanks for the insight!

Wow two of my favourite climbers/KZreadrs on the same video!!! Nice tips too.

This was super helpful as a new climber. Thanks!

These drills seems super applicable, thanks for the info!

Great video! Thank you for these drills.

Oh my I’m in pain just watching. Can’t wait to try these out . Thank you

Brilliant and much appreciated!!!! I will be putting all of this to use immediately..

The rock over nose touch drill is brilliant! Definitely need to work on my body position and leg/core technique

Really nice tips, I've just started climbing and I feel like I'm pretty good in strength but lack the other two. I also have a bad habit of trying to rely on my strength to make bad moves work which obviously does me no favors (currently taking a week off for minor injury recovery). Next time I go to the gym I think I'll just focus on trying these drills out rather than trying to force myself through harder and harder problems.

awesome one nate! this is fucking awesome to see my 2 biggest inspirations together making a vid that will benefit me! definitely going to be trying these and adding some into my training vid! :) great job nate! u done it again

These should help me a lot in strength training, especially my core which is my weakest part of my climbing.

@@topanteon As a beginner yeah, but after that training on a bar is pretty useless. You're never going to have a handhold that good if you're climbing anything over V5/6C. So you'll end up getting muscle which you won't be able to use in climbing so essentially useless added weight.

I really like Louis Parkinson's demeanor. I'd love to have him as a climbing teacher. Too bad I'm in the U. S.

Awesome!! Thank you for your videos.. Love the content. I've just started - 3 sessions in 😃 Are there any books that might be helpful for beginner climbers? Thanks for your input!

There's another category that I'd put at the top. Get in shape (i.e. get your weight down, your endurance up and your strength to a decent baseline). My climbing has improved ridiculously coming down 30 pounds and if I can get another 20 off (getting to 200), I think I'll find some "impossible" routes much easier.

Great exercises! Silent feet, nose rockover, static hovering lock-off, overhang leg raise, overhang pull-ups.

i LOVE this. I basically can skip pull day at the gym now and just train push and legs 🤣

Would anyone happen to know the song that plays in the background during the ending outro?

I feel like to be good at climbing (bouldering) you need to be light and build technique along with forearm/hand strength

I'd say that's some of Parkinson's best stuff

A good exercise is Baoding style ball rotations. That is where you rotate two balls in the hand. Helps warm up and strengthen forearm muscles. This video shows example: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yq6ruLOglrrKZ5c.html

How would you adapt the pull-up exercise if your not strong in pull-ups? I can do chin ups but pull ups are my weak point

@peteranelson

5 жыл бұрын

Add a little bit of assistance: in order of increasing 'help', you might try smearing one (two) foot (feet) against the wall; placing one (two) foot (feet) on a chip; placing one (two) foot (feet) on a foot hold. If you use your feet as I've suggested to reduce the effort required to pull yourself up (mostly with your arms), you could also vary the angle of the wall--presumably the less steep the wall is, the better your feet can be used to reduce the effort. Alternatively, you can start by working on your pullups with a hang board and incorporate a pulley & weight system to assist yourself. Once you're stronger on the hang board (ie able to do multiple asymmetrical pullups with full body weight), you'll be able to do the exercise described in the video.

Little disappointing there's no exercises that seem to focus on head game after saying it's the most important but still really good stuff

There's two ways I "train" my head... 1) do exercises til' you drop. Force yourself to do more than you can. It will help on the rock when you think you can't climb any more. 2) do practice falls on the rock. Number 1 is limited by your fear of falling. Doing a few practice falls every time you're on the rock helps alleviate the fear and allows you to climb better and confident. But really, that's just what I do. The head is not a muscle, my training might not work for anyone else and someone else's workout might, in turn, not work for me. Just find yourself a way to put yourself in an "all or nothing" attitude when you climb.

I think that these exercises DO work head game. I understand it's not big picture psych stuff but drilling that footwork until it becomes second nature, focusing on your lock off posture and pull ups to the lead hand to train dynamic movement and grip strength - these are all things that make you more relaxed on the wall/crag beyond simple strength training. These are huge and I'm gonna start doing more of my strength training on the wall - which also makes a ton of sense.

Hey guys. Im pretty heavy (93kg)for a climber but i love to do it and i want to get much better. I can do weighted pull ups with 40 kg and im able to do dragonflags and a lot of ab stuff so my strength is not so bad i think. But what can i do to get stronger for climbing? Or are there some routines that i can do to improve?

I'm assuming you are relatively new to climbing. You should focus just on climbing for the first two years. After two years your body will have adopted to climbing and you can train on the campusboards and campuswall. Training with rings is also recommended. Before that, to get better you only have to climb.

Haris Zukic Cool to hear that you're hooked! You probably have a history of doing strength training, which is good. Keep up the core exercises but do not try to improve grip strength with additional exercises untill the first two years. This is how most people get injured. Working on your antagonists is also recommended, so bench press and rotator cuff exercises are awesome! Finally, you can always ask for advice from some of the beasts in your gym!

The layers go both ways, as Louis describes it as Mindset > Technique > Strength, Mindset uses technique which uses strength. As I describe it You need strength to do the techniques to use your mindset and push through to the end. Basically what I am saying is if you don't have enough or any strength the other 2 layers are bottle necked so you need to work on all 3 equally. Other than that I like the idea of working on strength purely by doing repetitive technique work like they did in the video, I will definitely use this next time I am in the gym :)

These are very good exercises, why on exercise three should you avoid using technique??

La Sportiva Maverink. Soft no edge Slippers, a little bit more narrow than Futuras, but way less aggressive. Just a really small amount asymetric, just little downturned (bana shape) and no downturn on the toes. The opening of the shoe is quite small, so to get your toes into the shoe you have to be precise ;) I'm a streetshoe 44.5-45 and i ordered the biggest size they are comming, online. EU 42. And they are not too small. My La Sportiva Size is generally 42.5. On hard shoes, like the Miura VS or the Otaki, I have a left shoe of 42.5 and a right shoe of 43, since my feet are different in length. 42 left and 42.5 right would be the absolute minimum for me, but since I'm not that strong climber and only just climbing since 2.5 years, it is not necessary. Of course putting on the shoes is the last thing i do and the first thng i do after the climb. I have normal width feet i guess, or on the wider side of the La Sportiva range, a low instep (so i get into slippers easily), egyption toes with a fat big toe and a little, low volume heel. Basically, all La Sportiva Heels are too big, so i have to fit the shoes as tight as possible to be okay. Only heel I really fit is the Five Ten HiAngle (2016, grey/aqua, UK10/EU44.5) and the heel of the old Five Ten Dragon, UK 10.5/11. So tight and narrow that the pain is instantly there, so i save them for the most extreme short stuff. But HiAngles I would climb in nearly all the time, if the super sticky C4 rubber would last longer indoors. Therefore Anasazi VCS with OnyXX rubber for maximum durability. Btw, the 2018 Anasazi VCS comes with C4, not OnyXx any more! Yes, the brown one (golden tan). Seems the violet one got discontinued? Even though the new Anasazi pro comes witrh C4, also the Anasazi VCS comes with C4? No OnyXX rubber any more? what about the better edging and more support for longer stuff, f.e. alpine routes? Thats what the Anasazi VCS is for. Or indoor training on aggressive walls, to save your "new, expensive good shoes" for outdoors. . I have only climbed in my Maverinks once, for a few boulders indoors, so i can't say much about them right now. I think they are not as soft as I was afraid they would be, at least not in this sizing (I'm 1,80m tall and 84kg heavy). . The shoes come with 2 pens for customizing your shoes (as they are designed for children due to the marketing). Right now, I let a local artist do something with them ;)

It’s really hard to hear that smart guy over the music around 2:20 for me.
