- Alex Puccio, professional rock climber and coach, takes you through 3 quick tips to help you with your climbing.
1. Watch your foot go onto the hold before switching focus. Precision and accuracy is crucial for climbing efficiency and confidence. To watch a video in more detail, please watch this: • Footwork for Climbing
2. Drive with your legs and hips - your arms are weak in comparison to your legs and core, so the focus should be driving with your lower body and hips. A more in-depth video will be coming on this very soon.
3. in conjunction with point 2, try to relax your arms. Try to save the energy to pull only when you absolutely need to.
Stay tuned for more quick tips and more in-depth ROAP Coaching videos.

Big thank you to @g1climbing854 for allowing us to climb and film - Спорт
tip number 4: be as strong as Alex Puccio
;)
Just use more technique if you're not strong enough.
Tip 5 be a total beast
Tip 4: be insanely jacked
Climbing is a good workout
Tip 4: immerse yourself in bouldering. Tip 5: see tip 4.
8climbing - this certainly helps
She's a legend! Thanks for the tips.
Happy to help!
And there's me: "where the heck I'm supposed to put my feet on this thing"
Watch out video on precision and accuracy
These 3 tips are exact same (and only) tips I got when I started climbing.
Good tips!!
These are great tips, generally intermediate tips. But can be elastic and changed given the climb and situation. Good tips to use and grow upon over time.
These are more (great) begginer tips imo!
True, but we do see V11 and 5.13 climbers making these too. You'd be surprised how many climbers make basic errors and overly rely on strength.
@@roapcoaching917 don't worry, that's why we have great teacher and guides in this world. And your one of them, with people to remind of us of our foundations and what made us able to get this far. We'll be able to continue even farther thanks to them.
Using toes and straight arms are literally the first tips anyone gives.
@@thisscreensucks I mean it as great tips for intermediates as well, but for them it becomes a base and something we grow off of. Just as she said here in the comment section. Even higher grade climbers make these mistakes.
Having beginners tips once in a while doesn't hurt ones progress.
Thank you, Alex!😊
My pleasure
I’m about to start rock climbing so I can take my upper body to the next level 🔥
It will genuinely happen if you climb a few times a week!
More tips please Alex! I m thinking of getting into this. X
More tips coming soon. We've just been ill, so focusing on recovery, but more coming your way very soon.
Tip 1, grow those guns
Love it !!!❤❤❤ gonna use these tips right now 🎉😂😂
Awesome!!! Let us know how it goes!
Awesome tips, thank you girl! Love your shape 💪💪
🙏 thank you 🙏 😊
Simple, straight to the point
Thank you
Great, that’s what we wanted, thank you
@@roapcoaching917 subbed
Great tips I wish I knew when I started. The hips thing was huge
Thanks Stephen! We can always revisit these too as when we get stronger, we also revert back a little too.
@@roapcoaching917 that’s for sure. I’m fighting my old habits right now
Is it just me who sees her as both really nice and really scary?? Regardless, thanks for the tips, they re always good to keep in mind :)
Haha - she can be scary! But 99% of the time, she's really nice! lol
Happy climbing ❤n safe landings ❤
🙏
this song got me hyped. I am now #1 Boulderer!!
Haha good stuff
Wow, this girl is the Mayor of Ripped-City.
She be strooong
Great tips !
*P.S. LOOK AT THOSE ARMS*
Haha! Thank you! 💪
TOTALLY flexing those guns! Nice…
;)
Gotta love g1!
Great gym!
Great!
Thank you Pietro!
Her arms are amazing
Thank you
Her muscles are incredible- just unbelievably beautiful that humans can do this to their bodies. I NEED TO GET BACK ON WORKING OUT
Thank you
For old dudes like me, tip 3 has the added benefit of not making the elbows feel like they’re exploding after a climb.
So crucial! Those elbows are sensitive little things! Thanks for watching
Power to the gooch!
Pooch
maybe add "basic tip" but also hanging without using your muscles can be very damaging for tendon and ligament if u do it often and on non-resting spot
I guess you should be slightly curved in your elbows a trying to have wings locked as well, so it makes your shoulders more stable. But in the same time minimazing the preassure on your forearm, bicep etc.
thanks cap
You're welcome
Bruh she’s built like a tank 💪
Strong
While I agree with 2 (keep hips in) for a big power move pushing up the wall, it works better to bring your hips out, then when you push up, the curve of your hips moves towards the wall and not away 👍
For sure, but also with most moves. People rely far too much on their arms. Let’s and hips should be involved with almost every move.
@@roapcoaching917 Yeah for sure! Just as a novice I wanted to make that point because I felt it was something quite important to the tip. Other novices might hinder themselves trying to keep hips in always.
She has amazing arms
Any tips? I was at the fair doing on of the rigged ones but I’ve never don’t rockclimbing so I did it and I got halfway up and nothing was hurting and I had sore muscles that day from sports but basically they flipped the rocks so you wouldn’t have grip at all how would I grip onto that? I just gave up though because I’ve never fell from a harness so I was scared to slip but I just let go
I.e. the holds were pointing upside down? These are called underclings and require higher feet so your arms are straight down.
Body goals. 😮
Thanks
I find myself limited to my grip strength and finger muscles. A lifetime of atrophied muscles has really hampered my progress. Even if I do these techniques correctly, I can feel my fingers giving out, so I use my biceps to compensate and end up making a diamond shape with my arms on overhang walls. Of course I wear out my arms quickly and fall off or give up. I'm much better on slab walls where I can use balance to get me up the wall.
Videos coming very soon on movement technique and drill work to help maximize your climbing. But if you've analyzed that your fingers are weak, make sure that you work on these 2-3 x a week to help. Be progressive, but address this weakness.
Mommy? Sorry, mommy? Sorry, mommy?
😂
lady could take flight with those lats
Flying squirrel
Bruh she's buffed af.
Climbing is a good workout
@@roapcoaching917 hell yeah! Love it too. Keep grinding
I find it hard to keep hips as close to wall as possible yet also climbing with straight arms. Do you advice?
Great question. Mobility. Start training more resistance (weights) through full range of motion. Frog stretches, sumo squats, Cossack squats are all great. And…get in lots of practice!
what's the difference if you dont put your hips close and climbing with bent arms
Your center of gravity is away from the wall, so more weight through your arms and fingers (weakest points) and you will burn unnecessary energy - even on easier climbs.
Great tips for beginners. How about three tips for experienced climbers.
Great suggestion!
Tip 4: get bigger biceps
Haha
What brand shoes do you have on? I wear barefoot shoes most of the time so I find the pointed toe of moat climbing shoes to be very uncomfortable. Your shoes are blunter with a wider toe box though. What brabd are they?
Theee are Scarpa VSRs. Still have a point, but more symmetrical
Man, her upper body development is crazy. Reminiscent of the top Crossfitters
Thank you!!!
I'm surprised. That's similar fighting or martial art advice. Especially when they talk about structure. Climbing will by next challenge. Thanks!
Yes!! My husband did martial arts for 15 years before climbing! Definitely try it! Thanks for watching
she is jacked
We need pro tips, for v14 fingers please.
They’re coming soon! She’s got some of the strongest fingers in the game
Those arms and delts😍😍
Haha! Thanks
Tip 4: listen to tip 1,2,3 and keep practicing 🎉
Haha!! Yes!!!
Lats for dayz
Keeping my hips close to the wall has been a huge struggle for me . I don’t even know why 😭I just start hanging all over and drop
Keep trying. Focus on pushing and feeling through your toes. The more pressure you can apply through your toes the easier it becomes. If you drop your heels too much, your bum will fall away more easily.
@@roapcoaching917 that’s actually super helpful! Going later and I’ll try that ! :) I also start a class next week so I’m sure that will helps tons !
Good luck and keep us posted
2 diffrent shoes?
I have a little bursitis on one of my heels, so a slightly larger shoe right now
Tip #1 get arms like me
Haha, they help a bit
Song?
An artist song called beautiful catastrophe by I hear trap in my nightmares
Impressive physique
Thank you
Tip 4get huge forarms
Hahaha
She looks built for climbing 😮
One of the best in the world, so you’d be right!
@@roapcoaching917 I'm not.. More built for jujitsu being narrow and muscular 😒
Hi, I noticed your heel was kind of low relative to the toes. Isn't it easier to keep hips closer to the wall if you're heels are high?
If you notice, I will place with a low heel and then when driving, these will lift. Typically, your flagging/supporting leg will have a lower heel as it is pushing on a straighter leg.
Yes it is to answer your question but this wall is at a steep angle. You must pull through your hands until your heels aren't low anymore and at the same time bring your hips in as she said hth :)
@@roapcoaching917 Thank you!! :)
@@brianrivera9237 Ty! :) I usually stand on my toes right away even on walls like this but maybe that's a difference in style or maybe I'm doing it wrong. Can't wait to try this method next time at the gym!
...are you really giving tips to Puccio?
Go tell LeBron how to play too.
I feel like that stoner dude from Wayne's World after watching Garth Algar perform a ridiculous drum solo.
😂
Grip strength must be wicked
Alex has one of the strongest!
Her forearms, calves and lats 👀
She has better shoulders then me
Haha, she gets that a lot!!!
Tip 4 get extremely jacked.
Hard work and the benefits of being a mesomorph with good genetics :)
@SheepyNubs just because she has more muscle than you doesn't mean she takes PEDs
@SheepyNubs Im 14 and just started calisthenics and rock climbing. She looks natural and there is no reason for Anabolics in that sport...
@SheepyNubs bro what the hell are u saying u dont even have proof of that.
And also do you do rock climbing??
@@plumbirb8444 I know it takes years to get good at calisthenics and rock climbing
Tip4: watch ROAP videos
Ahhh, thank you! We appreciate it (you)!
jojo refference lol
Lol
Woah, she is so buff. Is that standard for ladies or is it her genes?
Bit of both. Elite climbers put their bodies through a lot of hard training - which obviously helps develop muscles. But also, her genes and mesomorph body-type means she puts on muscles easily.
Tip 5: be insanely hot
😌
your left foot rotated when moving up. Shouldn't foot placement be in the position you intend to want it to be when pushing up the rock to reach the next hold. Second tip needs to be introduced with "when the rock is overhanging " because on a slab if my hips are in it will reduce my shoes contact patch and my feet will peel off the rock.
Foot rotation happens after placement. Placement needs to be precise, but allow for pivoting. See our video on pressure and pivoting. You drive from a position of power and need to harness that power getting hips as close to the wall.
With slabs, yes, you need neutral hips and more ankle flexion
Difficult making new climbers understand climb on extended arms. Takes a session or two for it to make sense to most of them...
Or more! Complex subject which we’ll be filming soon
Abby?
Alex Puccio
Nah she's so pretty
Aww, thank you!
Tip number 4: don’t be fat
Haha, it helps
Muscle mommy
She does have muscles
@@roapcoaching917 she’s got them mommy muscles
