  • @Drinkyoghurt
    @Drinkyoghurt 6 років тому +81

    Throughout my climbing I've become a more dynamic climber. Combine it with balance and you just save so much energy. It requires a lot of coordination but there are a few tricks which can make it easier. Especially with the run & jump problems I always see people look at the handhold they're going for, miss the foothold completely and just faceplant. The key here is to look at your feet, get them planted and then your hands will automatically follow.
    However, some climbs are just meant to be done statically, but using a dynamic style where possible is definitely a good thing.

    • @unknownuser_99
      @unknownuser_99 5 років тому

      Drinkyoghurt I generally try statically; however, lately I’ve found that I loose all my energy and can never reach the final hold of a puzzle if it is more than one meter away (although that could be due to me being a small skinny weakling). Do you have any tips on how to convert? 😊

  • @firstlast-wg2on
    @firstlast-wg2on 5 років тому +37

    It seems like, for pound-for-pound Holly might be stronger and more flexible, but because of the guy's speed, explosiveness, I think finger strength (maybe) and knowledge of the routes he was a bit better at completing them without as much effort. It was an awesome video.
    Also, note how he swings a lot more, it seems to me he has a really good grasp on controlling momentum to help him, I think that's the difference between the style and when it's necessary, definitely the amount of momentum increases the more dynamic you become, being purely dynamic or static would be wastes of energy in various situations, so for people who like the look of dynamic, it isn't the best, and nor is just static.

    • @MrAmisto
      @MrAmisto 5 років тому +2

      I find you really need a combination of both. Dynamic works in situations where you will be changing direction, or changing your the location of your center of weight, because usually their is a lot of movement involved in those changes, and it puts you more into a mindset of managing your momentum, Static in those situations makes you use energy directly to control and deny the momentum that is part of such a transition.

  • @manzojtm7744
    @manzojtm7744 4 роки тому +7

    im def a mix of both, all really depends on what you’re climbing. personally, I find dynamic more useful for harder bouldering, but I’ve definitely had my fair share of boulders where I can’t do it without a static style

    I've been climbing for 12 years now and I have to say that even though the dynamic moves are cooler to watch, you are much more prone to injury, especially in your shoulders. Additionally working on core strength, body tension and technique will serve you much more than purely training power. Great video though!

    As a new climber (5.10 b/c), I find climbing dynamically easier because I have been lifting weights and have a fairly high strength to weight ratio. As my balance / core has been improving, I have been making more static moves. I think it kind of depends on what you're climbing too

    I find myself using static climbing methods most often. I see the merit of both being useful for particular climbs. I can see where each climber has there own style and each of us can improve by trying new techniques. The static way certain builds balance strength and flexibility, Dynamic or as John Gill calls them “free aerials" can be great for saving strength, creating precision gymnastic ‘release’ and ‘regrasp’.

    If I find a route I can flash dynamically (or vice versa) I like to look for more static solutions. I think people tend to climb more static on trad gear because it feels safer to do so. So I to think practicing doing the same moves in both styles is helpful for me.

      WAZZZZZAPpeeps4 sometimes you need to do one or the other. If you’re short you may need to use dynamic moves to reach some holds, for example. And if there aren’t any good holds it pays to go static, as taking out the good hold on the last climb did.

    It seems like static leans more towards technique and you need to be more flexible, while
    Dynamic seems more explosive, just trusting your strength. So, it would seem to me more girls use
    Static than guys because they usually are more flexible and maybe less used to jumping around, but it could go either way. Thoughts?

    Static is so tiring.
    My arms get so pumped by the lactic acid by retaining the position for too long.

    I was at Biscuit quite recently and found that green V4 problem relativity easy statically. Although I am 6'2" with an ape index of 4 inches :D

    can we do this series again but see how it is “supposed” to be dynamically climbed and how holly statically breaks the beta?! because her attempts are so intriguing.

    Would love to go to a climbing gym but my anxiety is a bitch

    as someone stated in a climbing book: isn't about dynamic or static but about momentum :)
