    The climbing community really is unique in that so many professionals are so openly willing to share their experience. From Adam’s typical bouldering session, the whole lattice training UA-cam channel, the free crack tutorials from the wide boyz, the hours of incredibly detailed analysis from Dave McLeod…
    It’s not taken for granted!

    @suede__ 4 місяці тому +4

    20:00 is such a good lesson that you could be doing it "right" but also doing it wrong. Same holds, same movement, but body being slightly lower. I think someone could feel like they just aren't strong enough or flexible enough, and it could be that their body just isn't in the correct position.

  • @riderdie1603
    @riderdie1603 Рік тому +28

    This is really interesting. I am now curious what an endurance training session would look like. I basically only have been trying max power climbing at the beginning of the session with a high volume session to end it. This has worked well as someone who’s only been climbing a year and a half, but now I can see I need to focus my training more to keep progressing. I will try incorporating sessions like this a few times during the week.

    I like the way you verbalize your experience, knowledge and idea.
    We move on the information we learned - books, experience. Knowledge system slows down belief system - source of constraints, freeing space for imagination and new knowledge and experience - visualisation processes get better with mental training.
    “If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.”
    - Richard Feynman
    Climbing is science experiment of psychology, regulating biological processes, physics, math and use of cognitive skills pre, during and post climb - senses, inteligence, balance - orientation in space, bilateral integration - synergy of two sides of nervous system - forming coordinations, memory shapes, colors, its orientation in space as well us performing specific task, anything that's task related.
    Just it's all about relationships of all systems in the body acting as whole performing movement. Strategies to organize information might be different, but overall it's all about information and its instant access in movement. It's all about predicting and probability as well.
    Ecosystem of climbing good is when the knowledge dominates over beliefs, thus finding climbing diamonds to be polished into best possible versions.

    Zrovna v pátek jsem byl si byl poprvé v životě vyžkoušet boulder a lezení obecně (v Hangáru v Ově), tak se mi tyhle rady budou moc hodit super :-). Chtělo by to i tipy co se týče předejití zranění kůže na prstech, případně její ošetření (dost by mě zajímalo jak toto řešíš na závodech). Mě se teď stalo, že mi nakonci lezení už na jednom prstu nevydržela, tak tipuju že to bylo tím, že jsem cvičil napoprvé příliš dlouho popřípadně to bylo absencí magnézia. PS: Chtělo by to pro začátečníky trochu lehčí bouldery v Ově . Nevím jestli je 5A dobrej start :D.

    Great video, I'd love to see a power endurance bouldering video at some point in the future. I climb once a week, in a 90-minute session and I usually climb with minimal rest to try to maximize endurance training. I want to try and add more sessions during the week to try and balance it out but I'm curious to know how many times a week you think someone should train. Your insights into the sport are incredibly helpful and very much appreciated.

    @florianneumann9441 Рік тому +2

    I am currently struggeling to get solid in the 6B+/6C range - thinking of general climbing technique and flexibility ( especially hips ) being limiting factors - it really makes me sick how you just can square them out like that ^^ What i also really enjoyed in this video is to see how you use your 'free' leg, just using/switching hooks on corners so naturally. What i find totally wired is how you set your heel hooks... i am really not good at it but i wouldn't even try it the way you do because i would think that's the worst position to set it up. Guess i have to look if you already have a video on the topic. Thanks a ton for those insights

    • @tono971
      @tono971 Рік тому +1

      I don't think that flexibility and technique are the most limiting at this level. Technique and flexibility always play a role, but from my experience, 6C is the level where strength starts to play more. It won't work without strength regardless of flexibility or technique at this level.
      At this level you have to focus more on (maximum) strength. It won't work without it. Also, strength will allow you to use new techniques that cannot be used without sufficient strength.
      This also applies to easy boulders. Compare the technique used by stronger climbers on easy boulders. It will be different from what you use. And that's because you don't have the strength for it. In the final result, this new technique enables them to climb that easy boulder more effectively. Although it seems like a more difficult/harder way for you.

    • @florianneumann9441
      @florianneumann9441 Рік тому

      @@tono971 Thanks for your interresting input... I agree that often higher levels of strength are required on these grades, but usually i don't feel that as limiting factor. Or at least when i watch other (better)climbers on the same problem i often notice the mitigate some of the strength requirement by setting hooks i wouldn't think off or better movement or body position i am not really able to achieve or hold. That's why i thougth i should priorize that over strength... But it's probably a mix - already had a quite easier time on those routes when i had dropped 3kg over the summer. Will try to include a bit more strength training. Regards

    I would keen to see a video on techniques to get around body limitations. Like, I had bone issues with my hips that restrict healhooks and struggle to find ways around it to progress. Or for people of different heights to get around height limiting moves.

    Seeing Adam fall on a 7B slab gives me hope 😆

    Great video Adam, I was wondering how different would your session be if you have already completed most of the boulders in your gym as in this video you visited a gym with a lot of new boulders.
