This dude is a beast 😤 looks strikingly familiar to someone I know. You’re very personable and knowledgeable. Thanks for the great advice, looking forward to cranking the rad with by brother soon!
Very succinct and loaded with useful tips, wicked video! Is there any reason not to do regular overhead press instead of single db? I prefer the former over the latter so if the effect isn't too different I'd like to stick with it.
Both are great! You'll be slightly more stable working with two hands, so you should be able to handle more load. I personally struggle to get full extension in the top part of the rep when I do two arms for this movement, so 1-arm helps me get more out of the full range. I love strict presses with barbells though. Glad you liked the video! Thank you for watching and commenting
This is awesome. Strength training is super important for everything your body does. I started strength training strictly bc I couldn't make it past v3 my first time climbing. It's been two months and now I'm at v2,145 and I own Patagonia 🤘🏽
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for your support. Patagonia is great, but if you hit a plateau around V7, try Arc'teryx to see if it helps. I heard if you drop $1000+ you automatically climb V10.
Yo, Gunnar, question: are pull ups doing something magic that other downward pulls aren’t doing? I have switched to single arm cable lat pull-downs since pronated grip two arm pull-ups seemed to be exacerbating my tennis elbow, and I feel like I’ve gotten stronger from that protocol than from pull-ups.
Ultimately, if you've noticed better results with cable lat pull-downs and less joint pain, that’s a win. In climbing, strength is important, but how you manage your body mechanics and avoid overuse injuries (like tennis elbow) is just as crucial for long-term progress. So if you're feeling stronger and more comfortable with the cable variations, keep going with what works for you. You could always incorporate some pull-ups again once your elbow feels better to reintroduce that bodyweight challenge in a controlled way.
Great video and super easy to follow!
idk why was so hooked on the video my city doesnt even have a climbing gym i just saw strength training and was like hell yeah XD

Criminally underrated video, this needs way more views 🤘
This was a high value production! TY!

The stability benefits of one arm over two arm are probably particularly beneficial for climbing but idk

“I’d like to talk with you today about leg day…have you accepted leg day into your life?” 🤣 …impressive pull-ups tho!!

You look very controlled on your pull ups. But I did want to ask about if there is a reason for not going slow on the way down during each rep?
