Nice work!! Thanks for sending in your footage

Loving the content! I get the feeling that a lot of climbers learn the concepts described in this video intuitively, and are practicing them when they send their hardest projects, but having them put into words makes it possible to consciously practice them. I particularly liked the comment about how being 20% stronger nets you nothing if you are climbing in 20% disadvantaged positions, really puts the benefits of practicing "technique" into perspective. I would love to see videos like this focused on particular features (roofs, slabs, aretes, etc.) and holds to hear what we mean by "technique" in these different scenarios, and maybe even some pointers for what to train if you genuinely are not strong enough!

Some background info in case you guys haven’t been on nerve extension…those holds are all as smooth as glass. The feet he blew off of probably have less texture than polished blocky limestone. Also, the last move is the crux and is super insecure with a very secure heel. So, most likely, he was not comfortable at all, didn’t trust his hand to stay on, and pulled the heel to keep from back splatting.

@danielbeall7725

Жыл бұрын

I am familiar with nerve extension (and very very familiar with climbing on glassy rock) but you do make a good point. That said, it is also important not to let insecure holds cause you to compromise movement mechanics. The less forgiving the holds, the more important it is to optimize body position.

I've got a calf-muscles related question!! I cannot seem to be able to load my foot or heal because of quick/intense cramping in the area (and or total weakness?) in certain situations: when my toes are pointed; when the hold is higher (like hand/foot match and load the leg to move up or onward on the climb)/when I'm below the hold or the hold is further (leg more extended). I do not seem to be lacking strength (or less so) when foot is flexed and or hipjoint is externally rotated and the hold is closer. I'm really looking forward to getting any advice on this! Why it happens, what to do about it, recovery, warm ups, trainings.. I tried thinking about movements that would be specific and helpful in at least warmups as to prevent the cramps.. maybe loading an elastic with my heal, toes pointed, below a bar and lift the hips and bend the knee?! Thx 🙂 And of course thanks for this amazing high quality mindblowingly knowledge expanding work/channel. 🧡

9:05 Isn't there an effect where bending the wrist back engages some tendon/skeletal leverage to close the hand? I.e. if you bend your wrist back, your fingers naturally close. This effect can eke out a tiny bit more grip which might be what Emil is trying to do by bending the wrist (perhaps intuitively rather than consciously) given he's saying he doesn't think he has the finger strength for the move.

This is one of those “sort of” situations that’s a little to involved to answer in the comments I’m afraid, but good observation!

Hi Hooper! I just watched your hamstring injury video as I've recently, what I think have done is strained my hamstring. When I was climbing, after engaging the heel hook, I felt a slight pop or maybe a shift of the muscle. After looking at the video of my climb it was in more of a extended position and have pinpointed that with hip extension, I feel maybe a 1/10 pain up nearer my sit bone but possibly just short of it. I would like to consider your rehab plan but should I go to a physician? Thanks and great videos!

@luissun2103

Жыл бұрын

Always get a physician opinion. Don't ever auto prescribe treatments.

Golden rail is staunch for the grade . 😂😂

Maybe a silly question, at 1:34 when Dan is talking about "turning the heel" does he mean which direction the heel is or the direction it's pointing? I imagine he means turning the foot so that the arch is nearer the wall, but I'm not actually sure.

@HoopersBeta

Жыл бұрын

Not silly at all! Dan meant that you want the force to be perpendicular to the hold (or rock), so if you’re pushing into the rock with your heel you’ll get the most friction by having you foot perpendicular to it (toes pointing away at a 90 degree angle from the rock). Hope that makes sense!

@@danielbeall7725 this is your next climbing career move. You join hoopers beta doing movement analysis. Life goals.

I have a question that I have struggled to solve for a long time! I find I REALLY struggle with cross moves with and without feet (much like off the wagon...though much easier). I have really broad shoulders and a wide base, and I have considered that this makes the movement much harder, which was alluded to somewhat in this video. Although there are many factors that contribute to an individual struggling on certain movements, I know may overall "broadness" makes it mechanically more difficult to do this type of cross movement. Any suggestions for strength training, and on the wall movement focus I can implement to improve this movement?

@danielbeall7725

Жыл бұрын

Some shoulder stretches, possibly work on rotation / thoracic spine mobility, and more than anything, making sure to rotate your body for cross moves. More than anything, the sense of being “bound” comes from trying to stay more square to the wall than is absolutely necessary. Trying to rotate towards perpendicular is essential. I’m not able to give a more detailed reply in comments I’m afraid.

Do a lot of traversing in training, challenging yourself for creative reach throughs and backstep moves. Most of my bouldering is traversing, since I seriously dislike pads.

I feel like most of the things Dan's talking about are not coming across? It would be nice to see a practical example on the wall to see the difference that those suddelties are producing.

In my opinion you guys are over generalizing in a sport where movement is so varied and dependent on the climbers mobility, skills, strengths etc… as a generalization what you are saying makes sense but you make a lot of assumptions in this video in terms of corrections that would be successful on problems you probably have little experience with. I take everything that is said in this video with a large grain of salt.
