We are Zach and Maddie! We're professional sport climbers on the Canadian National Team and specialize in bouldering. Our channel is home to the COMPCLIMB training series; a video series in which we record and share most of our training! We also make educational-style videos dedicated to specific climbing topics (recommendations are always welcome)!
Crazy how the womens world record is something that a dozen random men at my local climbing gym can do...including myself. And they wonder why many sports have gender categories
Huge pulls Maddy! You can definitely get a bit more if you peaked for it and took a bit bigger jumps/longer rests. I was curious and did some searching and there is surprisingly few sources of world record weighted pullups for women, it's almost all male records. I did find one on the WorldPullUp website that says a Polish woman Katarzyna Najman did 60kg while weighing 56.5kg.
I haven't watched the whole video but idk why you think the world record for heaviest weighted pullup is 52kg, if you just look up "heaviest weighted pullup" on youtube you'll see a guy pulling up 125kg in the first video. Nonetheless your 52.2kg lift is very impressive! 💪🔥
My mind is blown and I'm a bit ashamed to say I always thought Maddie & Zach were siblings -_- It's so rare to see people taking their husband's name here in Quebec, it never crossed my mind you guys could be married
I just searched for the record and came up with this: The heaviest weighted pull up is 109.20 kg (240.74 lb) and was achieved by Liu Weiqiang (China) in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, China, on 7 March 2023
Yeah, there is a lot of guys pulling around 100 kgs. Instead woman are completely different field in this category. Whereas I think in squads they can be similar or even better, depends on total weight. But its impressive anyway. I cant pull with 50 kgs (just yet :) )
@@weakhandshunter the wr squat differential is over 400 lbs. Woman are closer or equal to men in ultra long distance running events and even better in ultra long distance swimming due to fat distribution. On pure strength, genetics are not really possible to overcome but with sports where technique or grit are the deciding factor the competition is closer!
@@ericsigurdson5239 I'm new to the addiction. Even though I'm old, I got hooked to the call of the wall. I started top rope climbing in November with the goal of learning to climb so I could go outdoor climbing with my son. It really has become kindof an obsession now. I'm either climbing, recovering from climbing, watching videos of climbing or planning my next session. My kids think I've lost my mind!
Maddie, after espresso: _imfeelinprettygoorighnow_ Me, drinking espresso, watching this: 💀 Thanks for lighting up my morning. Cheers, you wonderul people.
So, huh, what's the context? Is it by weight class? Or just bodyweight%? Were you just both chill, Maddie editing a video, Zach reading the newspaper when one of you shouted YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT WPU WR! Talking about editing, music was fire. Is it what usually gets you in the zone? Final abstract comment/question; *Does that mean we will get a 9C strength test?!* Mhm, maybe the espresso is kicking in, after all.
Haha yeah maddie is a superhero with espresso 😂😂 The context for this record is that it’s the female Guinness record for most weight added! Haha yeah Maddie has always know that her pull-up is one of the heaviest in the world and she wanted to finally showcase her stuff and put a video out about it! Muse is maddies hype up music ;) Maddie has gotten a few requests to do a 9c test now hopefully we can convince her!!
Love the intro! So happy for you, you really earned this. Hopefully you can use this year to really push forward with confidence. Also shoutout to Loi taking pics lol.
Sick video as always! 12:05 I have a question, what do you think allows him to stop on the volume. The things I can think of are shoe and rubber, being able to drop the heel lower and maybe foot strength? In terms of shoes I feel like yours are also amazing volume smearing shoes so I doubt that has a big impact. In terms of heel mobility I also think you're dropping them as low if not lower. And lastly I'm not sure if foot strength plays a role but if it does would be very interested to hear. It is also possible I misunderstood and you can stand on the volume just not get into it dynamically as he does which would make a lot of sense. I am getting into slab now and would be very interested in hearing your thoughts :)))
Yeah good question! Honestly I think this situation is mostly mental! You’re right about the shoes- they are both great for smearing and if Alex and I switched shoes I think the situation would be the same. He just has absolutely no fear and trusts the volume completely, whereas I’m simply scared that my foot will slip! This allows him to apply a lot of pressure to the volume and get more friction. With enough tries perhaps I could’ve learned to trust the volume too but in this case there was other beta to try ;)
It seems like m4 semi-final last move would be easier with toe-hook. Sure you did it your way, but i'm just wondering... have you tried it afterwards or maybe saw someone did it like that?
good job man, im so happy all your hard work has paid off and on another note do you plan on ever doing any outdoor climbing videos especially with val david not too far away
Congrats! I've been following your journey and it's great seeing your progress. Can't wait to see what the future has in store for you! Keep up the good work!
I remember seeing your top on #4 live. I've never experienced that amount of energy, stoke, and excitement from a crowd in my life ( I've been competing for 10 years). That moment was so special and is something I will always remember. I've been thinking about that moment when training and it definitely brings out so much motivation to put on a show like that one day. Thank you Zach for the video and endless inspiration!
Your content is very helpfuland inspirational. I started climbing in september and found you after the competition at Gravity by niagra falls. I went to bloc shop chabenal which is awesome on a whole other level 😅 thank you!
