The video changed, I didn't know that could happen. 🤔16 hours ago Alex was humping the ground again at 7:37, now he is talking about parallettes.

You can find all sorts of star collabs and fancy vids (which I enjoy!), but you two guys are my favourite)

Yesterday I failed on a comp because one of the boulder problems had a mantle in the crux, and I realised that my triceps are very underdeveloped and weak compared to the rest of my body. And now Alex uploads this video... 😂 Thanks a lot Alex! 😊

Now I know what I did wrong! I went to university.

Trying to progress my handstand for 6 months now. really hard to get over the 5-10 second free hold for me. Don't seem to make much progress right now. Would absolutly appreciate a full video on it. Thanks for the content, you guys absolutly slap.

Could we get a full training schedule breakdown video anytime soon??

Thanks guys, loved it as always! Of course a handstand video would be amazing ! 💪

My climbing improved so much when I started doing dips

Wow. This is literally perfect timing, dude. Thank you.

Thanks for making this video for upper body workout! It's great! My least favorite exercise is doing push-ups with resistance band. Look forward to more such videos!

great video! and since you asked: I would love to see a Handstand video. Especially, I am curious about the morning routine you mentioned. Also, you mentioned winter training a few times. I would also be interested in how you do training periodization, with comp season and climbing on rock (since you do that in the winter also).

If I need to replace my 1m Petzl rope, can I reuse some of the discarded 99m, or would you recommend buying another 100m rope just to be safe?

@alexandermegos8129

27 күн бұрын

Safety third. Can't risk taking the other 99m. We always go for 100

other great video thanks Alex & Chris, you really are both top athletes and thats why you are top climbers

I can't believe 6:56 made it into the video lol. You guys are so silly 😆

to complete the traditional push ups personally I prefer push down an elastic band which is hanged above head, in gyms they have the vertical pulley with weight which is similar. Also planks or standing on straight arms on a table with minimum weight on feet

Thanks for the video, would love to see a handstand video

Legend!

Thanks for the video. Was very entertaining to watch. Handstand video would be appreciated! 🥳

I would say with pushups that correct form is very important. It is easy to cheat the pushup and do what feels easy. Many reps of what feels easy builds bad habits of motion and can set you up for injury. 20 pushups consecutively for most people will require this suboptimal form. There is so much nuance to the pushup!

great video!

🤘🏼nice video!

Please some tips for standing on hands walking. Stability training. I can do few push-ups up side down, while legs slightly touching a wall, but cannot hold the stability without the wall. Thank you! Have fun! ❤

Do you do leg workouts? I've been climbing nearly a year and doing two full body workouts a week for last 3 months, ive found the leg excersises really helpful on highsteps, and I think calf raises have really helped on slabs. Would love to know what a pros leg workout is like?

geil, Handstand Video bitte auch noch!

15:24 -> I struggle with shoulder mobility and therefore hesitate from doing banana-handstands (with an arched back to compensate). Would you say can train from handstands with a bad form to better mobility and a good form with mostly doing handstands?

Yes, handstand video please!

❤thanks

Its one world. ❤

"Obviously the more you push with your leg, the easier it gets". Wise words😊

The best moment of the video its repeated but it worth it 🤣

full video of your training day?

Tolles Video, aber hier eine kleine Korrektur: wenn ihr das Training mit der Stange macht und das Gewicht über den Kopf hebt, so ist das eine konzentrische Muskelanspannung für den Schulter- und Oberarmbereich. Wenn dann daraufhin das (freie!) Gewicht wieder abgesenkt wird, also gegen die Schwerkraft arbeitet, so ist das eine hauptsächlich exzentrische Muskelspannung der gleichen Muskelgruppe. Es ist trainingswissenschaftlich streng genommen nicht mit einer Kletterbewegung vergleichbar, denn da seid ihr im geschlossenen System und genau die antagonistische Muskulatur arbeitet. Bei dem einen ist es hoch drücken und bei dem Anderen hoch ziehen. Die Handstandtips sind spitze und das Dip-Training auch. Sportliche Grüße und weiter so!

@herrar6595

Uiii, der erste Absatz ist korrekt, der zweite sehr flach gesehen. Zum einen da auch bei Zugebewegungen wie einem Klimmzug der hintere Deltoid und je nach Griffbreite und Form auch der Trizeps arbeiten, zum anderen weil Klettern auf die Zugbewegung zu reduzieren dem Breiten spektrum an Bewegungsformen nicht gerecht wird. Ein Gaston ist ein gutes Beispiel von einem Move, der nicht direkt wie ein Stütz aussehen muss, aber mehr den Trizeps als die Armbeuger beansprucht

A handstand video would be very cool to see!

Might be a translation issue but to be clear, both a barbell and dumbbells are ‘free weights’. I would also nominate Two-Bench Triceps Pushups as a fantastic triceps movement. Thanks for the vid! 🙏🏾💪🏾

Handstand Video please!!!

Pushing is so underrated for climbers! Most active climbers have solid backs and some biceps at a low body fat percentage. If they just did some pushing exercises like this, they'd have very impressive physiques! Lots of climbers I see are missing this potential

triceps in thumbnail, triceps in intro , proceeds to show many exercises targeting fe deltoids over the triceps. Its not a big thing and I havent watched the full vid yet. But i kinda dislike that with their training focused stuff sometimes, especially when its easy to fix like here: just say pushing for climbing and you are completly fine. Or just disclaim from the start that youre not aiming for perfectly correct training describtion and exercise explonation (maybe they will do that further into the vid but imo this gotta be at the beginning, cristal clear). Just writing something vague in the describtion box doesnt do the trick either. But as long as they dont show and give super dumb or dangerous advice everythings cool in general. Nothing wrong about slightly incorrect, incomplete or inefficient training advice as thats not what these videos are aiming to or even can be. But again, they could say that right away.

While it’s great that you guys are interested in such topics, and you should keep exploring this area, you simply do not understand the kinesiology of the triceps and the glenhumeral joint well enough to make training prescriptions for climbers.

Train triceps with a barbell press? You're hitting your delts and traps more than triceps.
