Awesome video! Really appreciate the detailed progression and reflections on achieving the 20mm one-arm three-finger drag. The insights about antagonist exercises and managing tendon strain are super helpful. Definitely going to try this routine to work toward my own one-arm three-finger drag-thanks for sharing your experience!
Yes it is, which is probably why they didn't notice much difference compared to the 25 mm edge in the video. In this sense both this video and the previous half crimp one are slightly misleading since one arming a flat 20 mm edge (e.g. BM1k outer edges) is considerably harder than one arming the BM2k middle edge. But not sure if this would change the main points of the video at all. Good insights nonetheless!
Very thorough content. I wonder: what is the utility of these specific edge size + grip type + one arm hang goals? Is it about stoke? It seems somewhat arbitrary given, as you highlight in the video, how variable bodyweight can be. Did you track raw numbers of how your lifts improved in this time period? Anyway, great stuff.
Can you comment on your climbing performance (on the moonboard, outside) during your weight fluctuations in 2024? I think I've definitely noticed effects on hangboard performance from weight changes, but I think people generally report smaller perceived changes in their climbing performance
Great vid, I'm roughly around the same weight as you at 145 ish, what's your height? i'm about 5'7. I need to start training oap again. Inspired to get 3 finger oap now after watching this.
Given how much the pullup seems to have boosted your 3FD hang time and the shoulder tweaks you kept getting, I'm curious whether your shoulder is more of a limiting factor for these hangs than your fingers. I know there are several pros who realized this after concerted shoulder training. Also as someone with hypermobile fingers, really want to emphasize it's just as easy to hurt yourself 3FD as half-crimp, currently have a lateral slip/capsule injury on my middle finger
Did you train (minimally) half crimp as well during training the 3FD? What were your protocols to maintain it / combine both of them, I feel like if I alternate sets with both of them, changing weight around is a pain (and otherwise, if I do HC sets then 3FD sets, that's a lot of time resting, and I guess if I do the same volume for both grips it gets a bit taxing for the skin)
don't mean any disrespect, you have all this incredible strength and you're only climbing V8 and barely a single V9. don't you think your time would be better focusing on climbing rather than pushing these hangboard numbers?
He’s addressed this in the last vid. Basically too busy with med school/rotations(?) to go outside consistently. Also, 7B/+ on the Moonboard is nothing to scoff at, way harder than 7B outdoors in my experience
Got really surprised to see my reddit comment here! (Ananstas) Just wanted to say great video, and I appreciate the mention of where you got the ideas and info like joint angle specificity and such :) Just wondering, have you tried hanging from the 20mm 3 finger pocket on the top row of the BM2000 and bottom row on the BM1000? They are quite a bit more comfortable than the middle edge and don't tear the skin on the ring finger as much in my experience.
Best climbing content. I blew out my A2 following your last vid lol
lmfao
Gotta drink water my boi
noice
You're one of the best and most informative channels dude
Ayyy, surprised you mentioned my comment. Glad you're enjoying the Overcoming Gravity book and using it!
You know this guy is an OG when he teleports with the OSRS lumbridge sound.
After your last video, I managed to one arm pull up with half crimping on a 20mm edge both arms! 😊 thank you!
Got my first OAP last week thanks to your videos! Next up 20mm half crimp then the 20mm 3fd :)

Dude is a goat with the in depth videos. I guess 2025 christmas is here 💯💯💯
I'd love to hear your scheduling for the week. I find it so hard to know how to fit everything in.
Nice man, super strong! Love the Runescape sound effects
Love your vides, genuinely insightful and motivating
Isn’t the BM2K middle edge widely considered to be 22mm incut? Either way, great video!
yes

The goat is back
some people commented this but the middle beast maker edge is more like 22mm
Bro make an in-depth video about the 7 day fast, sounds very interesting
My goat
Omg. I have to modify my training again. Just comment before watching the video.❤
Holy shit HESBACK

boss is back
So strong!
Runescape teleport noise at the beginning? 👀
27:30 that’s my gym!
Great vid too

Another question, do you train hangs before or after climbing? I usually hangboard before climbing.
love those viet calendars
that finger skin looks amazing compared to my old man bullshit

For me once i could consistently one arm hang 7 secs half crimps i could TFD one arm for 7-10 seconds without any extra training
Hey Boss, any advice on picking medical specialties to maximize time spent climbing?
Did you train while fasting?
10mm one arm next 😼

Why you had choose to use the 3 finger drag for this instead of full crimping?
holy early
#1 advice: drop weight... ok dude
