The hip momentum tip is priceless! And I couldn’t agree more about the mental distraction when getting high up, all I think were “shit this is too high”, “imma fall”, “just 2 moves to top”, “I’m tired” instead of focusing on my body positioning and tension
True, most people do too. We are going to do a little video on this exact subject soon. Although everyone knows that "positive mental attitude" helps, it's far harder to tell yourself to "calm down" when the fall is looming and the landing unknown. Psyched to share it with you. In the meantime, we released an old video a while ago on rock where I was climbing a medium highball and we discuss this thought process. Thanks for watching
The production quality and the communication of information in all your videos has been improving a lot and the material is excellent! Please keep it up!
Ahhh, thank you so much. This one is most certainly down to the fact that Josh edited this video. But we have had some tips and will certainly keep trying to improve the content. Thanks for the comment and your support!
The way you put concepts into words is so easy to understand! So many “aha!” moments for me. I loved the way you explained distributing weight and using momentum, the little demonstration of pulling vs using hips was amazing and I will definitely take that into my next session. Can’t wait for more!
Thank you so much, glad you found it useful! Yes, more coming soon. Unfortunately not today as we had to drive back to Texas to help my mom with her recovery. But two filming days in this week. Thanks for your support
Absolutely you can! Have “two of me” on your shoulders when you climb. One to say well done when you remember to use momentum and the other to slap you on your wrists when you get complacent;) Thanks for the kind words and support!
Most guys can't frog like girls can. Ex. at 05:18. Our hips just don't go that way. I get about 45 degree external rotation max on one side and 35 on the other.
True. Obviously this highlights an area to focus on, but in essence we can still lower our center of gravity on straighter arms and a relaxed grip, rather than just pulling
So how often should one be using hip momentum for moves? Is it kind of a universal thing for vert and overhang, where you just vary how much momentum you use depending on how big the move is?
Good Q. Essentially every move, it just becomes more exaggerated with larger moves. Even on smaller moves, try to initiate with hips and shift the center of gravity rather than pull.
Thanks for having me Roap!! I learned loads and have been impoliment all these tips into my climbing a lot recently 😃. Best coaches on the world 🌎❤️
As always, we loved having you. Thank you for editing too!! You improved a LITTLE bit too ;) Psyched for summer ;)

@@roapcoaching917 That would be super GREAT! Can’t wait to watch it!
Psyched!!
These videos have helped my climbing. Alex has a great way of explaining the smallest details. Love it!
Ah, great to hear, thanks for watching and your support!
Literally one of the most useful climbign tips vids ive ever watched. And ive watched alot
Haha, thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot, glad you liked it!
I was not prepared for the transition at 14:50 :D Great tips btw!
Hahahaha, I don't think any of us were!! haha Thanks for watching!
We hope you enjoy this video with Josh Rundle. Let us know what you think! Thanks, as always, for watching and supporting us.
Alex, you have a gift for explaining efficiency and economy of movement in a way that is easy to understand and apply. Thank you!
Awww, thank you 😊
I appreciate it and your support!
Kinda crazy how far Josh squats down to be at eye level with Alex at 11:21. He really is the tallest man on earth.
Hahaha, confirmed!
This is some of the best climbing training content on youtube. You guys are on the right track with this!
Wow, high praise and we really appreciate it as it’s what we are pushing for ;)

great to bring josh to the show! maybe he will climb a bit better now
Hahaha, ooooh we'll see ;)
He is! And he needs lots of positive feedback IMHO. Maybe Robin could give him a hug and tell him how great he did. ; )
It is hilarious to see the stereotype of reserved English peeps and expansive Americans flipped on its head.
Hahaha
this was extremely insightful - thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful, thank you so much for watching!
unbelievable that we get videos like that for free😍
Aw, I appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by, we’ll hopefully be able to continue your share more and more with you!

@@roapcoaching917 hope your mother is doing better now! Looking forward to the videos whenever they're ready :)
Fantastic idea, as always. By far my favorite climbing channel here and on IG, thanks!
Awww, thank you so much, it really means a lot to us. We love your support and deeply appreciate it! Thank you!

Aww, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and subscribing too!!
Great one, learned again a lot. Thankful that people like u share such a deep content. All the best, Dave
Thank you so much Dave, we appreciate your comment, views and support!
Your channel is gold! I can watch these videos 3 or 4 times and keep getting more out of them.
Amazing, thank you so much. Yes, they’re quite lengthy, so having to rewatch is very common. Appreciate the kind words and support
This came up in my feed…awesome 😊
Glad it did. Algorithms doing their thing ;)
Nice video! Also i see Josh is back with Tenaya! Good choice ;)
Thank you!! He is indeed!
Josh is too funny. Great video, ROAP team! :)
He’s reading these, so let’s just say he’s quite funny ;) haha
Thanks for watching, appreciate you!
Really helpful thanks 😊
Of course, you are more than welcome. Thank YOU for watching!!
Great climbing, priceless advices
Thank you so much for the kind words, glad you liked it!
it's like a mother and son, luv it
Mrs mommy Puccio!
I'll write it again, best video tutorials I have watched are yours. I always forget the momentum, maybe I can finally break into 7As
Absolutely you can! Have “two of me” on your shoulders when you climb. One to say well done when you remember to use momentum and the other to slap you on your wrists when you get complacent;)
Thanks for the kind words and support!
The clip of them skipping away holding hands 😭😂😂
Haha! 👩🏻🤝👨🏼🏃♂️🏃🏻♀️➡️
Josh really convinced me to like and subscribe in the outro :D
Haha! Well, we’re happy to have you! We thought we’d lose followers ;)
@@roapcoaching917 its a walk on the edge for sure haha :D
Right after your latest video, this one with Alex “not” in the family way. 😂
Haha - he's a good one! Thanks for your support!

Weird how that gym has lights above the fans, so you can see the fan moving shadow everywhere. That would annoy the shit out of me lol
Yeah, lessons learned I guess. To be fair, we didn’t notice it until we watched the footage back 🤷🏻♂️
@@roapcoaching917 aa noo biggie, i meant more as in climbing there . On video form its not bad : )
Yeah, understood :)
We were just saying it wasn’t very noticeable climbing.
nimble giraff that josh. jokes aside nice and informative vid
Hahaha! He is a nimble giraffe for sure!! Thanks for watching
🦒
Hey, nice video as always! Btw. what climbing shoes are You using?
As in me, Alex? They are the Instinct Ltd editions! So good!!!😊
"You got the neck" 😂😂😂
😂
Imagine being coached by Alex Puccio - damn....
Haha! 😊🍀👋🥰
Wish I had her as a coach I’d make the most of it
Awww, Matt - too kind! Well, it could always happen ;) Thanks for your support!

super strong but tiny female comp climber comparing body movement and beta with a weaker super tall male climber....totally legit
Not really the premise of this video. It’s more that Alex is analyzing the way Josh moves and helps him learn to be more efficient.
