Answer: Bouldering doesn’t use a propellor to chop off the dorsal fin of a porpoise.
@krymsonwulf grip as hard as steel and skin like sandpaper.. i think i’ll pass
Im 13 and i have been in boulder climbing for 2 months and now i aint scared to fall and i can also go about 2 hours now nonstop climbing but when i started i couldnt go for 30 min without rest so all this is great and you will get strong really fast you are working on a muscle you’ve never done before in other sports so go check it out
@jollygreenspartan ?
@krymsonwulf You know how to give the best handjob ever? Use your mouth.
the best climber I know looks likes he’s never been in a weightlifting gym, just a skinny guy basically. I wouldn’t say adding muscle to lats, bis, forearms, etc. is necessarily *bad*, but I definitely think the best muscle training for bouldering is bouldering. This is true of practically anything.
@rsholt45 strength training for climbers includes lifting weight of your own body… while climbing. Climbers mucles are way more effective than weightlifter ones. For strength you do short hard routes, and for endurance long easier (but not too easy) ones.
Well, he says “the main way to train for competition is to focus on strength at first”. Then his next sentence is “Most people go weight lifting or what not which is completely useless, muscle is heavier than fat so it’s the worst thing you could have”. Weight lifting is ONE way to get stronger, and you CAN train the muscles used for bouldering. And plus, based on his last sentence, would it be better to be fat? NO YOU DUMB DUMB.
its good to be strong, but not so good to be body builder strong
that comment has no sense, weightlifting helps a LOT
Nothing helps more than practice in any sport, but I disagree with the weightlifting comment. It’s like saying that sprinters shouldn’t lift weights because they will become slower due to the muscle gain.
Exercising the muscles used to pull, and your legs for push force DOES help. Doing certain lifting exercises (reverse curls for forearms, for example) with a grip that does not involve your thumbs WILL improve your grip to an extent, too.
@flakened He never said muscles are not good for climbing. He said that the muscle development you get from weightlifting in a gym will not be good for climbing and he is 100% correct.
The muscles you traditionally focus on when you weight train (biceps, pectoralis major/minor etc) are not really used in climbing. So if you train those up, you get big (and heavy) but they won’t help you at all. Also, grip strength is not something you get from weight lifting.
I hate how lots of people like this last guy on the video like to say that muscles are not good for climbing.
WTF? Of course it is good to be a lightweight, but with muscles. Muscles help a lot. Of course its not good to weight like 200 pounds, even if you have a muscular body, if you want to climb. But you dont need to be a skinny guy. You can be strong looking and still climb very, very hard. Bouldering is all about strength and technique.
sorry for my english.
@krymsonwulf she would break your shit off haha
@roflex2 … clearly not a regular climber.
@roflex2
a weight lifter is going to have trouble doing long climbing and yes working with weights for climbing isn’t known in the pro area or bouldering climbing
ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH YOUR VOICE IS SO ANNOYING
im 6’5 225 lbs play offensive line and climb the shit out of the rocks at red river gorge. lifting weights has definitely helped my climbing, but the best way to get better is definitely just climb
@malonethed no dumb ass he said its just not worth trying to get bulky because you control most of your body’s weight with your arms..so if you have tons of muscle its going to be harder
@psjk1979 Also you can weight train for strength and not get big.
He is right about the weight training to an extent.A body builder will have problems climbing or just won’t be able to simple as that because he has disproportionately sized muscles.Its a balanced ratio between muscle mass and bone structure that you need to achieve.If you go over it the muscle weight will inhibit you.But to just say weight lifting is point less is wrong imo.
@Patwc sorry, I mistook it for vertical reality!! My bad!
@roflex2
Lifting weights will make you stronger, in order to become a better climber the most effective method is more climbing or training specific to climbing. Going to the weight gym 5 days a week is pointless for someone who wants to be a climber.
@hydr5
Allez Up is in Montreal.
LOL @ dissing weight lifters, what an idiot.
Sure muscle is heavier and will make you heavier, but you gain strength disproportionately to weight, eg you will be heavier, but you will still find it easier to climb due to the strength gained.
Sure mr Olympia might have a big of trouble climbing, but the average weight lifter isn’t.
@PaddyMacNasty Just give me until autumn and we’ll see what I can do
@Mestermenz I climb trees and I use a couple of parkour techniques for that (run up trees where the branches are too high and roll landings coming back down). I would love to see someone properly combine climbing and parkour, there wouldn’t be anywhere they couldn’t go.
no wonder why 9/10 accidents happens at home :p
Buldering sure is impressive. Maybe I should try it, it might help my parkour training.
How did you secure the holds in the drywall?, lag bolts into studs?
@clemofish ya but he needs to clean the foot marks off the walls and door frames
jajajajaja imagination powaaa!
thanks for the nice i dea, i´m going to do the same in my home!
:D
Amazing, every home should have this!
Every house should have holds integrated Into the walls and cielings. Great video!
lol, that’s AWESOME (including the mac)!! something tells me my wife would kill me if i tried doing that to our house :/
that looks fun
@boris3334444
Sry, was just a joke^^ I like your vid! Great work!
How did you fix the holds on your walls? Looks random and solid…
sucks when your floor is lava
@FATCACAK He’ll just have to clean the walls instead.
