Really great vid! Thanks for all the insights! your friend Chloé and you brought alot of great recommendations for beginners which is so nice. Thank you!
Campusing is good and your instructional video is spot on. I prefered the system training advocsted by the Huber bros as it incorporated all hold variations with campusing. Wolfgang's campusing although benefitial, is limited by the nature of the holds. Also you should have emphasized the need to down climb carefully due to the shock load effect on elbows.
Biggest tip I got for exercise #1: For the second move, don’t just pull with the upper hand, but also push with the lower hand as much and long as possible before reaching up.
Isn't this exercice a bit over-rated ? Don't get me wrong I find it super satisfying..I trained on it and reached 1-5-8 on 20mm rungs , but my climbing grade didn't move whatesoever...Unless projecting on a super nich moove or campus project .
Honestly, I think it is a bit over rated. Bad, no, it helps to work on your fingers differently, lock off, dynamic mouv, shoulder and back reinforcement specific to climbing. But there are clearly other (better) things that can be done such as camp using on a spray wall
It might be that you're still getting stronger and better, but that these specific skills arent the limiting factor to climb a higher grade. Also grades arent the only way of measuring progress.
Oh for sure over rated ahah i def prefer campusing on a spray wall! It’s much more demanding, more possible moves… I guess for me 1-5-8 just really helps to measure how strong i’m feeling but also works on my explosiveness cause 1-5 is super far for me ahah
That's the ideal. But due to your arms being so far apart when in the 1-5 position, you can only pull with 1 arm and push with the other. In order to perform the last step in a continuous movement you need tremendous pulling strength with one arm to not only pull yourself up, but also gain momentum with 1 arm. It's requires tremendous power.
