Dude, Yves needs to blow up his channel with how-to vids and cross training between gripsport and finger training for climbing! This guy is next-level on the training!
I was really impressed with Yves strength💪and even more impressed with his humility. Would love to pick his brains about training! Great video Andrew, thanks...Sam✌️
@@AndrewMacFarlane That’s cool to hear! Good luck with the channel brother, your videos always have interesting content and your film making skills get better and better.👍
I come from a powerlifting background of over 10 years and have some grip sport experience as well, only recently have gotten into climbing. Let me tell you, this guy knows exactly what he is talking about. Very smart
how is this not viral, this is INSANE display of strenght, and also the 1-6-10 and all of that, mans a beast. Get him in contact with like Jujimufu or Magnus mitbo, its endless content :D
Hi Andrew, a great set of videos and thanks for publishing the material as always. a query for you: for Yves doing his 'max reps' at 12:39, he doesn't specify the weight. Off of the other warm-ups, do we assume it's at 80%, 85%, 90%? Thanks.
Hey Neal, I'm pretty sure he's at 100kg for that set (talks about it here 03:51). He was using 100kg for the exercise example but I think you're right and he would be trying to rep his last set anywhere from 80-90% his true max in an actual training session (similar to power-lifting). Maybe ask him on Instagram, but if I remember correctly- he listens to his body when he's training and doesn't hit his max each session because we're always in different peaks and valleys during our performance phases... as long as the trend is upwards.
Russian strength training protocols are great! Long time ago i read pavel tsatsouline books and i progressed throughout the years with the same approach like Yves.
Super great. Love Yves, have been following him for ages now. Just need to point out that everything above 20kg he failed to achieve 5 seconds, which is the standard for most tests including Lattice. When everything is so precise on these tests, it’s not possible to just guess at the time, you need a timer running. Thankfully, the video doesn’t lie.
Ya, wasn't official or anything, but while editing I'm able to see frame by frame with the timestamp and he does make the 5-secs on the 24kg weight lift with the left hand... which was technically a new record beating his last score. Still insane how he can even hold some of the heavier lifts for any period of time! Probably need to ask Yves to go for an official score again in the future because he was holding back on some of the lifts on purpose to conserve energy. You'll see why in the next episode because we had planned a bunch of power/campus stuff and we shot everything in one session 😅
So he can pretty much do 20mm %150 of his body weight with one hand. The top limit in the viral 9c test is %220 with both hands. So this guy would score would score %300? Thats crazy.
Not how it works I think... for whatever reason its easier to one arm an edge than it is to hang two hands on the same edge with body weight added in my experience
Wait!! He only weighs 150 pounds??! How tall is he?? He looks like he weighs 190 Pounds! I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around him having the absolute record when guys like Jon Glassberg climb V14 at 190 pounds.
So super impressed with lifts but if you put timers up I don't think any of these holds were five seconds (maybe the warmups). I am sure he could have done 5 seconds on em all so it is all relative and like he said he may just be only pushing to a certain point of how he feels rather than time or failure on many of the holds.
im gonna say it again actual grip strength not finger strength has records held by world arm wrestlers and powerlifters stop with the bullshyt clickbait please
Finger strength is part of grip. Everything in grip has something to do with the fingers. And theres lots of types of grips, crimp, pinch, flat finger, crush, support (open hand/thickbar) and even the phalanges between the fingers is grip strength. In thickbar you hold the weight on your fingers in an open hand position, in pinch your fingers are are opposite your thumb and assists witht the lift. In the crushing/closing grippers you need strong fingers, pretty much your fingers does all of the crushing especially your bottom two while the thumb pad holds it in place. In the hub lift its pretty much more reliant finger strength rather than thumbs thats why climbers are really good at it. Armwrestling requires flat finger strength for containment of your opponents hand and you have eccentric handles which train that. Pretty much all grip implements require fingers. On the hangboard you're training your tendons, fingers and the tips of your fingers to hold your own bodyweight. Rock climbers have ridiculously strong fingers and good pinches thats why you see guys like Yves Gravelle excel at grip sports and destroy guys who are in heavier weight classes than him. He will be naturally strong at grip implements because of his finger strength, he demonstrated incredible pinch strength and lifted the inch dumbbell strict. He won 4x at world armlifting competition in Russia. Yves knows and met many atheltes in the grip community. he is will respected and he won 4x armlifting competionsm he proven himself to be world class and capable of achieving records. He holds the record for being pound for pound strongest gripster
@@aidenyoung3115 You sound so triggered. I just gave an explanation and you insult me and present to me "facts". Is this the way you like to argue? I cant take you seriously. Clearly you dont know anything about grip strength and grip sport and you're just an enraged kid who can't handle the truth. The video you're refrencing is by Korean armwrestler Jiseung Hong where the highest score was achieved by Levan Saginashvili (127kg) but in fact that was incorrect his grip strength was closer to 80kg, Bader the owner of grip dungeon in dubai made a video titled "How does a baseline grip dyno jump and gives a false reading" which explains how he used explosive power to cheat the Dyno. Hence why you see in Larry Wheels, "Khaled VS Levan Saginashvili" video he only scores 93kg at Baders grip dungeon with the same dyno. That's pretty unimpressive considering the size of his hand and frame. He couldn't fully close the coc 3. There are many lighter athletes who can close heavier grippers. You Claim you have facts yet you decide to lie to me with false figures, you can't fool me. Unless you're talking about a totally different video than the one i mentioned. Ok guy with all the facts, can you provide me with a source of someone scoring 190kg on a hand dynomemeter? That would be world record as far as i know no one has that strong of a grip insane feat of strength he could probably close the coc 4 for reps, maybe ghp10 or the Tetting world class gripper. Do you know any of the great grip strength athletes? Can you name one please? You claim to know a lot about grip and that I'm uneducated yet you know nothing about armlifting. What I'd like to also say is strong thumbs do matter to some extent but is it the thumbs that do the closing action on a gripper or your fingers which dynamially move the gripper to the closed positiob? You don't seem to understand that hand dynomemeters and grippers are different, the amount of pressure is exerted equally along a straight plane so your pinkies and ring finger dont do more work that upper fingers and where your thumbs can get involved because of the shape. Now can you wrap your thumbs around to the same side as your fingers with a torsion spring gripper and close it? Your argument about thumb strength is illogicial you cant apply it to grippers. It seems to me that the only type grip strength you know of is closing grippers. You are really a novice when it comes to grip knowledge. Also i didnt say fingers were stronger than thumbs, it very much depends on the implement your using. Thumb activation is the most in pinch grip. Never did i say fingers are stronger. But you seem to think you can close grippers the same way you can use a hand dynomemeter. Thats why many hand dynomemeter you can score more than what RGC rated gripper poundages show. Oh and if you do think climbers have weak thumbs how on earth did Yves Gravelle beat gripsters at 4 different weight classes. coming first place in 3 weight classes and 3rd in the heavyweight division?

I think the "world record" might be from Italian climbing legend Alessandro "Jolly" Lamberti (first Italian to climb 9a and climbing training pioneer). He held his body weight (68kg) + 100kg two-handed on 2cm rungs for 6 seconds. instagram.com/p/CIlaySeKbCA/
2-year anniversary for my channel today!! Thank you for watching and supporting my videos 🙏 And Happy Valentine's Day! ❤
WOOP WOOP!!! Happy channel birthday!! Hopefully you can celebrate somehow!
It's already been two years ? Damn how fast time flies, happy channel birthday !
Congrats man!!
Dude, Yves needs to blow up his channel with how-to vids and cross training between gripsport and finger training for climbing! This guy is next-level on the training!
Yves needs to go the the Lattice guys and put his name all the way up the finger strength leader board!
Dang, commented before the second part of the video
he already has lol
Yves brings such an inspiration to train and to love the process
Andrew thank you very much for exposing me to Yves , this man is a treasure. I'm genuinely inspired to better myself and try some of this stuff out.
Hands down one of the best and most informative training videos. Thank you!!
Id really love to just sit back and watch him do a full session on stream or something, I can just watch and take notes as he does his thing lmao
I was really impressed with Yves strength💪and even more impressed with his humility. Would love to pick his brains about training! Great video Andrew, thanks...Sam✌️
Cheers! I think he's an accomplish martial artist as well. Very few things Yves isn't good at haha
@@AndrewMacFarlane That’s cool to hear! Good luck with the channel brother, your videos always have interesting content and your film making skills get better and better.👍
I could watch Yves all day. He seems like such a cool dude too. Thank you for interviewing him and bringing more of his methods to us.
I second that
Yves Looks kinda like he could be a brother of Magnus... Anyway, cool vid. Thanks for the content.
dude i see it!!! both crazy strong too
My exact thought!!!
I was thinking this too
I was hoping this video would happen. Thanks!
This is so good Andrrew.. Waiting for next episode.

Bro. He hangs one handed with the same weight I do two handed
Astonishing finger strength!

@@emericq yep!
it's called bilateral strength deficit
This man is a beast! I feel like theres so much more to learn from him though!
we want the next episode!
Just his warm-up could injure me 🙈
Wait!! He only weighs 150 pounds??! How tall is he?? He looks like he weighs 190 Pounds! I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around him having the absolute record when guys like Jon Glassberg climb V14 at 190 pounds.

Damn, my guy has some daddy forearms... I look forward to the next video!
Can you do those drills on a daily basis ?most finger board exercise recommended to to max 3 times a week.. that is why i am asking
Hi man he said 5 6 times a week. But as here you can control the weight and see how you feel when you warm up.
How do you know about the records? Is there a site for that where people can check?
I wonder what weight Yves could one hand hang on the mono deep pocket for beastmaker2000 🤔 That would be savage
How’s this dude so light? Looks like he should be 80kg, fingers of steel!
Any idea what that block is that he's using for finger deadlifts?
he could be Magnus' brother
Hey Andrew, how is Jo Neame doing now? Another video with her would be interesting!
Where do I find these equipments with low cost shipment?
In powerlifting and olympic lifting, they say, “save it for the platform.” In other words, save that max for when it matters!
Lifting max implies chance of injury even death, so you may as well do it official.
@@cafeclimb3274 I don't think maxing out ever implies chance of death lmao. What kind of lifts are you doing?
One of maybe a handful of people in the world that make Alex Megos look normal
🔥🔥🔥
Does he do this on climbing days? If so before or after?
You want to train max strength before training, or between training days You must be fresh.
