TOP 10 Tips for Beginner Boulderers 

Hahaha same

Being straight is lame

There are gains to be had with straight arms if you carry your groceries in T stance.

I carry my groceries in on my stiff erection like a real man

Me too

Asking the real questions here

Doesn't matter, since your gym obviously has soft grades anyway.

Vsweaty

Doensn't matter if it's hot in the boulder gym 😉. But maybe starting at 6abc and further.

6c+ / 7a

Do with your hand when your standing on the ground

Guinness 😅😅😅

takes looooots of practice. i recently broke my arm falling off of a problem and all ive been doing is reading routes. Try to imagine yourself on the wall and think about first where all the footholds are, unless you are campusing, if you dont have footholds, you cant get the hand holds. I think in a clockwork fashion. right hand, left hand, right foot, left foot. imagine yourself on the starting hold and work from there where the setter intended for your hands to be next, then your feet. pay attention to the types of holds too. Usually for vintro-v4 the holds are pretty straightforward and they work like a map. i suggest when starting to understand how to red routes, start with intros and make your way up. just likke a warm up, when you climb, you dont start with a v8 do you? think about the problem and do it, see if your guess was correct,analyze it, and move on. good luck!

Lindsidoodle Vlogs thanks, I'll try but I'm not at all sure I'll get it. My imagination isn't very good at visualisation.

@@GuinessOriginal As I said, it takes practice, just try try try again until you climb a problem the same way you think it.

how's the progress going?

@@TheWhyer should be climbing V4-V5 if he's been at it regularly. Onto V6 if he has good natural body movement and fitness.

@@thisisgettingold Haaha, unless this person is a beast, like two of my friends started 2ish years ago, one sends v9 and up frequently and one casually sent another v11 the other day 😂 Though it’d be really cool if this person was sending v4-v5 because like, WAY TO GO MAN, wherever you’re at!

@@thisisgettingold can differ very, i was on v4 level on my first session after an hour

@@dosebussThat’s insane

Agree and disagree, if you never rest on these tendons/ligaments they will never thicken and when you need these positions or pass through them by accident your body wont be prepared for the stress. It reminds of people who don't do lower back exercises because they are all "too dangerous" then when they have to use their lower backs for a move/task it's too weak or their muscles are extremely unbalanced, just start easy.

That's right was the first thing I said when they told me the grocery bag comparison on my first day.

@@MaccaDin I can rely on your first sentence, It sometimes hurt afterward when I lose grip on a hold because it stressed those tendons/ligaments. And because I'm a beginner and engage too much biceps while climbing, I think it may be it.

I agree. From a biomed perspective, please remember tendons do not "grow" and basically cannot heal themselves. Train your muscles, instead :)

@@enricomarsili9233 from a bio med perspective how would I go about getting back into bouldering while I suffer from chronic tendonitis in my shoulder/rotator cuff. Have had it for at least a year but had symptoms for at least 4 years. I've been stretching and taking Advil but no crazy progress

#i do this bc I’m new and I’m not sure if you’re allowed to just jump off when you’re done

Most common*

@@willwalsh3566 you are allowed to, and its fun, but be careful with how and check your surroundings

@@willwalsh3566where I climb it’s not technically allowed, most people climb at least part way down, but there are always some who love to just jump off - no one really cares

Our gym says to climb down. At first I found it difficult, but I use hand and footholds from other routes to make it easier. I hate the sensation from jumping.

twos on that one!

Definatley

Yes please. I'm at about V4/5 but struggling to get beyond this. Probably due to lack of knowledge and weakness.

Essentially: Use your toes, involve more of your leg and turn off your biceps by keeping your arms straight.

True. But there's a reason professional athletes don't just practise their sport: they work out very intentionally as it's the only way to build up extra strength/flexibility etc

Yes, I was thinking the same thing!!

Is just better for learning to have the arms straight more than what should be useful than the contrary. In that way you will be used to have the arms straight in a more relaxing posture and then bend the arms strictly when is needed.

@@SeraphinoII To keep it simple my answer is this: only have straight arms when you are in control of your body. If you are not strong enough to hold a move in a controlled way with straight arms, it will put excessive pressure on your shoulder joints with the potential for serious injury.

Am glad am not the only one who cringes at this!

I think that if you gonna do climbing longterm it's better to climb with mostly bent arms so that you don't damage the joints in your shoulders too much and not be able to do it when you are older

MorphoMouse I agree on this one!! I mean they wanted to keep it short and sweet but “hanging in your skeleton” aka in your ligaments and all the stuff is not a good thing to do. I agree with the video that you shouldn’t have fully bent arms all of the time but there are times you need to. Always depends on what you’re doing. I also would describe the arms as “long as possible without locked out elbows”.. and of course back and shoulders engaged! 🤔

Yes!!! Get involved🤙🏻

So...did you quit?

@@Puleczech oof

yeah hav u made progress or did u quit honest no shame

You still climbing or u quiter?

wait thats my name
