Thank you, glad you’re psyched on the content! I have a few more weeks of climbing before I start another training block for the fall season! So I will be back to putting out training content!
At this point in time I'm desperate to find a solution for my climber's elbow. I watched the video of your dad with the protocol he recommends. However, I already tried and it didn't work for me. When I climb and my tendon is warm I don't really feel any pain but it's very present and I'm limiting my training and climbing overall. What do you think about including these 5x5 sessions into my climbing training? I'm almost thinking about giving a try as long as the pain doesn't exceed 5/10 (0 being nothing , 10 being absolutely horrible) any opinion on that?
hey I got some questions! 1- Can you stil boulder like 1-2 houra after that workout? 2-Can you this workout tuesday and thursday then saturday do max hangs? thanks
Not the poster but two cents from a random who started weight training and climbing consistently last 9 months. I typically do a chest/back weight lift day 1-2x a week (that includes 5x5 weighted pulls ups) and boulder for an hour afterwards. However, I usually have a chill climbing session where I work on technique and maybe 2-3 difficult problems. Anyways if you only do this workout prior, you should have plenty of energy/strength to boulder for an additional hour or more (also whether this workout routine is appropriate is very dependent on your fitness level and what your fitness routine looks like the rest of the week)
Hey Cameron, do you know if the lock off strength gains are impacted by the direction my hands face? I use rings, so my hands aren’t horizontal when I lock off up top.
the positioning of the hands, (neutral, palm away, palm facing)... those all recruit different muscles during the pull up, and not as much lock off capabilities. However, If you are looking to improve lock off strength I would recommend holding the top position of the pull up for a few seconds.
@@Particularpete Yeah regardless of hand position.. if you hold the top position of a pull up you will work lock off strength. I do most of my pull ups palms away because that is most true to climbing.
If you do this workout after a max hangs workout, should you do the bodyweight and 50% pull-ups before your hangs or before the actual weighted pull-ups? I include some bodyweight pull-ups in my hangboard warm-up anyway, so not sure if i should repeat these before weighted pull-up training...
There is no need to repeat the warm up exercises again after your hangboard. I would recommend adding the 50 percent pull ups in before your hangboard as well. Your shoulders should stay warm throughout, and you may even see an increase in finger recruitment during the hangboard workout because you’ll have the shoulders a little more warm than usual!
If the 2 last sets are hard and one cannot complete the 5 pullups in a row, is it better: a- to pause for a sec, do one more, take a second off, and get one more, and finish your 5 set like this b- remove weight and do your 5 pullups without pausing but white removing more and more weight. What would be the best option for building force in your opinion?
Good stuff dude! You've been absolutely crushing it out there so it's nice to get some insight into your training. Keep em coming!

@@camhorst looking forward to it!
Awesome workout! I have a climbing channel too, but I'm nowhere as strong as you are!
THanks for this!

I suppose I should up the weights. I’ve been doing 5x7 with 8kg. Will go with 10kg next pulling day and drop reps to 5.
good idea. Once you can do more than five reps for all the sets, you are definitely ready to increase the weight.
How its goin?

Yeah looking to improve the lock off, regardless of hand position? Thanks again.

@@camhorst that makes sense, thanks for the beta.

@@camhorst alright will give this a try the coming weeks. Thanks!

I would recommend removing some weight...Take off just enough weight so that you can still squeeze out 5 reps, but still be working really hard!
@@camhorst thanks for the answer!
how many bodyweight chins should i be able to do before adding weight?
There is no standard metric for this but I would say like 15
Hi cameron. Where van I get a belt like that for adding weight? Thanks
Sorry for late response...The belt I use isn’t actually a belt. It is an old climbing harness that I removed the leg loops from.
@@camhorst thanks, thats exactly What i use now. And old harness of a friend
Stupid question: What do you call the thing you use for the bumper plates? ;)
It is called a loading pin!
