One thing to note (that I'm sure you're aware of, but wasn't mentioned) is that the straight up/vertical climb up also has its use cases. The classic example is when doing a climb up on a ledge that juts out from a wall. In that case there is no space for the upper body to lean forward. "Dolphin" style is definitely faster and easier when there's space, but there isn't always space.
Finally learned proper climbup this year. Injured my ankle so I couldn't really do anything except for climbups for a month. Being able to put yourself onto a wall in 1 quick motion feels so good!
I wonder if there is a component to the climb-up due to hand position. I have always had strong upper body pulling power, yet had inconsistent top outs possibly due to mu direction of pull. I have always done climb-ups and arm-jumps with my hands on the wall with the fingers fully over at the knuckle joint and used the edge of my thumb to create a stronger grip. This has served me well in epic long wall traverses. I have noticed that other people just use the four fingers in the climb-up. I decided to try the four finger technique on the climb-up and I found it gave me more spring in the pull phase and redirected me into a better top-out. I was trying to slow down this video to see if there was any difference in the hand position, but I couldn’t really see it. I felt that the four finger hang gave me more spring from the finger tendons vs the static strength of a wrist dominant hand position wether the thumb is involved or not. I would be interested in your thoughts on the hand position.
Dont know if I feel the same as you do. But when I do knuckles over the wall plus thumb, I feel like the pull direction is more vertical and fingers dont exert enough foward pull force, mostly just knuckles pressing down. This is probably the way high pull up on bars works as I train that a lot. I guess I should train more conscious pull on the fingers as oppossed to grip on only 4 fingers since the latter feels slippery
This video literally just going in depth of doing a straight armed dish being better instead of a straight armed arched back. Just watch this tutorial for all of the progressions: ua-cam.com/video/ZFH-zD3TloA/v-deo.html except just keep the dish shape and catching your opposite foot's toe on the wall and flicking up right away even pre straight arms (demon dips) and watch the whole video at least once you start getting up higher so that you can understand all of this more.

Hell yeah. Climb ups rule.

I came here for the same comment but you already did it better.

Thanks so much I have been doing this honestly climb ups are one of the hardest moves to do

Great as always!
becoming my second favorite pk channel really fast. love this stuff
which channel is your number 1 favorite
Appreciate the in-depth analysis. Including a slow mo of your proper climb up would have been helpful to illustrate the point.
Thank you! I will be teaching my 9&10yr olds this technique for safety reasons if that may be needed for evasive action
Top content! Someone should do speed comparison between this top up and worm top up. The worm top up might have some potential!
thanks guys, this is exaclty what i needed, keep up the good work
big thx from russia, this vids give so much
فيديو روعه بس هل شفيت ركبتك من الإصابة الغضروف المفصلي تماما وهل يمكن تنزيل فيديو تمارين الشهر السادس
Climb ups are an NFT
