The most important tip I could give anyone on the moonboard is to focus on timing of your body movements combined with learning to use all the muscles in your body in a precise moment to generate the necessary momentum. Don't readjust to much as well. learn to accept what u get and move to the next hold. The moonboard requires precision. Pretend you are a professional climber as much as you pretend you are a beast :) This is coming from a top 20 moonboarder on 2016. cool video by the way!
I'd really recommend going through all the benchmark V4s and V5s. Just dedicating one day a week to doing as many as possible. Expanding my movement repertoire, getting reps of moves that come up again and again on the board, and getting used to most of the holds on the board makes coming back to projects feel so much easier. I used to have the same approach, but after getting a lot more movement in I've recently knocked out a handful of V8s and 9s that I couldn't do a single move of in the past. I think the key is a mix of projecting and volume. Just my two cents.
How many days do you climb a week? I go 2 times cuz I dont feel completely rested otherwise, maybe because I'm always projecting at my limit. I will try ur approach one session and see how it feels :)
Really depends on your work capacity you’ve built up. I used to do 3 days a week, but now I’m at the point where I can go 4-5 days. As long as you don’t destroy yourself. If you don’t go to the point of being absolutely wrecked, you can go more often and be fresh for those sessions. You’ll get more out of that than climbing until you can’t anymore and then needing extra rest
Grades everywhere are so subjective from gym to gym crag to crag even within the moonboard itself. I really agree with your idea that if it’s hard FOR YOU it’s worth doing regardless of the grade. If you want an easier V9 go for SALATHE. It was my first V9 and there’s nothing tricky just need strong fingers
Dude, awesome vid! I actually just started Moonboarding this week, and am totally gonna use these tips! It's so funny how literally just doing one move well on the Moonboard can make it a good session, but like you said, it's all about improvement, no matter how gradual. How often a week do you Moonboard? And for how long?
just jumping in, i think if you're just getting into the moonboard, 1-2 times a week is a safe way to start, i find an hour to hour and half is just about all i can take before I'm toast.
@@boidinktwistie4389 noted and thanks for the advice! My session was a little over 30 minutes just on one problem and it definitely felt like the right amount for a first session haha.
Big way to improve on moonboard and get into the v7+ is keeping feet on for every move. Try to do the benchmarks without cutting feet! And if you moonboard more then 2x a week your begging for an injury

A very comprehensive look at moon-board training I agree with 99%.

I don't mind being weak, I have a problem staying weak. One of the realest shit I ever heard..
Great video, love the mindset. I work one move over months on the moonboard sometimes 😂
Great insights
The first time i climbed on a moon board i could not do a v2 and realised that i have a lot more training to do ;)
V2??? I'm positive moonboard grades start at V3
@@ChengisAlwaysClimbingmight be the 25 degree one
