I started watching your videos 3 days ago. Yesterday I sent my first V4, today my second. Coincidence? Yes. But I really appreciate your videos. I’ve watched a ton of climbing videos on UA-cam, but yours have the best signal to noise. Your demonstrations really get the point across. (Like how to grab a crimp in a prior video. That tip (fingers against wall first) definitely helped on my climbs today. My fingers thank you too.
I was going to lightly disagree at the opening for very special circumstances like frogged-out delicate friction slab, but even then while you're not necessarily twisting all the time, you're still shifting to one side and arcing your core the opposite direction to create a similar effect. Thanks for the cues coach Cheng 🙏🏼
another good video. hadn't thought of drop knees increasing pressure on one of your hands but it totally makes sense, will try to pay attention when climbing today
Nice video! Another single drop keen variation that I use a lot is to kick the wall with the undropped leg and create momentum. Thank you for your detail explaination. I can find lots of begineer rotate their upper body but their toes are still facing the wall. Do you think it is related to the forearm strenth? They cannot hold themselves on wall and perform the twist. Or it is related to flexibility?
its related to proprioception. They just don't actively turn their toes. The reason could most likely be because maximally turning the toes feels "awkward" and they are not use to it thus they never practice it. They only other reason I can think of is their knee joint isn't the stongest so it hurts to twist too hard.

Congrats man! Indoor, outdoor or Moonboard?
glad it helped and congrats on your second v4 man
@@homemsapo indoor. I posted a short of one today. It’s not pretty, but I am happy seeing the progress.
@@MarkDenovich Keep it up!
This is awesome!

Yeah, it's a pretty subtle thing. But it can make a huge difference.
flags are a rotation technique as well
true. i think I'll do an independt video on them

smash it mike. 👍
wow loved this, especially the last 20 secs. I should know this stuff better than I do. thx!
anytime man.
Drop knees are sooooo satisfying 😍
