Which climb is your favorite? Did any of Dan's tips surprise you? I think the discussion on when to fall is a really interesting one that doesn't get talked about enough.
Totally agree that people need to learn to fall and know what height they are comfortable at. I see lots of folks scared to fall outside bouldering who then take their first unexpected fall and its scary to watch 😬
Hey made it into the video!! This officially qualifies as the most professional coaching I have ever received 🤔 I guess I’ll be hitting those wrist rows and bicep curls today 😮💨😂 Thank you guys!!
Great tips! Thanks for including information on falling safety! I've measured the impact of bouldering falls and I think for long term health it's important that falling safety becomes a much bigger topic than it currently is.
Imagine wanting to show hooper your skills and he trash talks your scapula. 😂❤️ Jk I'd be honored. Biggest take away is I need to do more off the wall training. Posterior chain here we go!
You reference “wrist rows” a few times, what are these? Are they different from regular rows (I.e. bent over rows with a barbell, inverted rows on rings, etc.)?
I think this was just at the very end with regards to Sleepwalker right? Basically just fast talking combined with video editing. Wrists, rows, etc. I’m not aware of any exercise called a wrist row, and I certainly didn’t mean to reference one. Thanks for clarifying!
There are bolts on top of Black Hat because it's a tall cube. The "easiest" DC is a techy V...3 or 4? I've heard of people DCing the V5 or 6 or whatever it is beside it because it's more straightforward. But yeah there are bolts for the descent.
@@pariahstelar42 Ah, I haven't checked in a long time, I must have misremembered the difficulty. I remember talking to someone about the DC and he said he preferred the harder route to the left(?), but then he was also super strong so a more secure/powerful V5 probably would feel better than a techier V2 as a DC for him even if not so much to us mere mortals.
@@cft103 Ah interesting. To each their own. I've found the downclimb for perfect poser pretty smooth, It wouldn't cause a sweat for a v9 climber, especially if they have the mental fortitude to highball a v9
unrelated question, does anyone ever have issues like some sort of resistance when they lift items down off a shelf? My left shoulder feels "Stuck" with soreness / pain whenever I try to lift items down from a shelf or from the upper areas of a refrigerator. I also find pain there when I start bench pressing
Pull perpendicular to (“through”) the edge you’re grabbing rather than parallel to (“along”) it. As soon as the angle of your grip becomes less than perpendicular to the edge your ability to generate force on it diminishes accordingly :)
@@HoopersBeta I’m not quite understanding. 4 months into climbing. I think you’re saying instead of trying to go straight up the wall use the angle of the holds fully “perpendicular “ so you get maximum use out of it?
@@smarbed3395 there is, but a little hard to clarify in text… 2 common ish mistakes: 1) upward rotation of scaps. First “set” (down), then protract (press forwards) 2) pressing as far as possible forwards, but still sagging in the back. Allows some winging and fails to properly engage serratus. Almost trying to round your back can help cue, assuming scaps are depressed and protracted already. Check some videos, feel it out, if it’s important to you, some in person or video instruction might be advisable.
