I Trained With ROCK CLIMB Holds Everyday for a Week 

I would also love to see a longer Video where you try rocklimbing for a month or longer

@@jesado9584 I would also love to see an even longer Video where you try rockclimbing for a year or longer

Id love to see you do a little longer video of you rock climbing for 10 years ​@agario5161

Nice pfp

Another climber here! "3 finger drag" is the best grip to not rip a pulley imo and oddly my strongest grip (not crimp or half crimp)... getting the pinky involved usually means a slight curling of the other 3 fingers which is fine but again, more curl is more pulley strain. I used to train on "pencil" skirt boards over the door with a gloss finish. Balance and control is more important than strength. Worth noting that you have 2 attachment points on the dingers, one on the tips and one on the middle bone of the finger so when you are on the tips, you are only using half one tendon to hold your weight. If you want a real climbers challenge, get some bits of wood and make yourself some different sized cracks... Crack climbing will make the entire hand grow... from paddles to ringlocks... Enjoy the pain! and don't forget to focus!!! I would strongly recommend that you start your hand strength journey in a climbing gym on 5.8-5.11 climbs, concentrate on using your feet and high knees, open hips and core strength, and the mixed hand holds will bring you up to speed gently... your arms and hands are not for pulling you up the wall, they are for keeping you close to the wall so your legs can push you up.

I'm a pro rock climber as well and I approve this message

Totally agree with everything you said about hangboards. Although I think for normal beginners, if you have the resources and time, just climb a lot as much as your fingers. Given they start out working on technique, they will either end their session by failure of forearm muscles or tendons in the fingers. Of course if they dont have time or money to do more/longer sessions then SMART and SAFE hangboarding sessions are a way to get stronger fingers.

Yeah I see it as well xD

People have been saying this for years. 😂Look at his older videos.

I’ve climbed consistently for 4 years and have done V9 on the moonboard and do a lot of hangboarding. My finger tips have not lost sensitivity. Maybe different physiology

My wife lost her sensitivity for me

Just wanted to chime in with my 2cents and say that I’ve been climbing for 8 years and don’t have the same experience as this, neither has anyone I’ve climbed with over the years.

Climbing consistently for a bit her, my fingers are chill but I dyno everything.

You're actually wrong. You will lose sensitivity but it will come back with time.

Same though I’ve only done it for a year

pinch is better for climbing training

True but I don’t have much expertise on those holds. It just pained me to see the ninja warrior swing he tried with the wrong grip

clearly you didnt watch this video or dont watch the channel enough, half of his videos are longer experiments he just uploads the first week as the first part and then he does a month and so on, hell probably upload another one of these videos except a month or 60 days or something

This idea that hangboards are super dangerous for relatively new climber is just false. A controlled exercise where you can control the load is going to be safer then climbing.

Hangboard injury is very real and can be hard to recover from, whether for starter or experienced climbers; be careful out there and climb on!

​@@soletravelhangboards are much safer than climbing, the reason injuries occur is poor fatigue management. There's no good reason to say they're dangerous, only that you should remember the increased volume from the board when you start training with it and decrease some other source of finger fatigue. This is of course not the case for juvenile climbers because growth plate injuries are more likely with consistent strain on one joint angle, but for anyone with closed growth plates, your statement is misleading and incorrect.

below straight from metolius hangboard disclaimer. Make your own choices is the way. "Warning All Training Board Users: Training on a hangboard carries risk of injury to fingers, arms, shoulders and the joints connecting them. Take every precaution to avoid damage to yourself."

@@soletravel you know an equivalent disclaimer comes with any other gym equipment, along with your car, food, clothes, and anything else that might cause injury. When you see the label on a plastic bag that says it should be kept stay from children because it can cause suffocation do you refuse to use one while a child is in your house? No, you just use caution. Disclaimers aren't very good sources. If you can show me a reliable study that says hangboards are universally dangerous for beginner climbers I'll believe you, but you clearly aren't knowledgeable enough to do that. A hangboard, like anything else in the gym, is a tool for training, so it's possible to overtrain on it. The risk of overtraining is not increased with a hangboard any more than with a dumbbell. Anyone can use it without injury as long as they don't exceed a reasonable amount of fatigue.

what do you recommend to finger/tendon strength when starting out?

@@gdb1 start with some basic calisthetics

@@gdb1 If you're climbing? You just climb and progressively up your grade (like in a climbing or bouldering gym). As you progress, you'll start getting on more crimp holds and it will just build naturally. Arm strength definitely comes first, so a lot of new climbers find they can muscle up 'jug' holds on overhang before they can do basic crimps on vertical. Training wise, best place I found to start was simply hanging from a bar. If you can't hang, do it with your toes lightly touching the ground. Build up to a minute plus and eventually single arm hangs. This is all before I'd even go near a hang board which you should only be thinking about after at least 3-4 months of consistent climbing.

@@donmcvey Yes you're right. Ninja warrior for 5 years, climber 1 year. I totally agree that progression comes with time and consistency, and doing the right thing. Hanging on a bar is the perfect way to start for beginners not climbing or for intermediate climbers to get better at single arm hangs. A lot of times I see people getting injured from training to failure on finger boards and they're out for a while instead of not quite going to failure. Just a few tips I've found from my limited experience. I'll probably find out more soon

@@gdb1Climbing, in the beginning climbing is all you need. Slowly work your way up the grades, you only need to really start extra training once you hit a plateau.

sand and salt keeps your hands dry and thus prevents a loose grip, this actually helps when you're grabbing someone or keeping hold of your sword in battle as your hands are dry and grip tightly

I think the first one is called "being a teenager"

I've slept on the floor for the last 6 years I don't have a bed. There's not much point. But yeah, fasting for a week would be a good video.

Yeah! He should try a japanese futon

He's bulking, fasting for a week would be terrible for him

I have actually been planning sleeping on the floor lol! I am in the middle of getting baseline sleep tracked first tho!

he did that already

I got distracted. What'd you say?

I hate it

@@KarmasAB123 Lol

I was looking for this 😂😂

It's a weight suit, he wore it in another video as a challenge
