The best warmup is whatever works for you. I'm 41 and have always been injury prone, so I try to warm up correctly. I did a campus session first thing in the morning yesterday after warming up for just a few minutes. I've tried long, slow, gradual warmups, and they just don't work for me - not for something so simple and powerful as campus boarding, at least. If the challenge is to warm up every part of the body to be ready for anything, a normal warmup of progressively harder boulders is much better.
Been following the channel for a little while now. Initially heard about the Wheeler's from someone at my local gym in Philly. They were spoken of as local legends of sorts. Fun to see them for yourself, even if its only through videos.
for that pain you mentioned in your thighs, it might be similar to an issue I had while doing a lot of tension board sessions. Open leg positions and cranking on my feet hard is what caused it for me. working on an adductor and abductor muscles in my thighs helped a lot! I almost never have this pain anymore.
See you joke about that warmup but David Fitzgerald's hangboard routine starts with one-arm hanging the outside edge of the beastmaker 2000 for 30 seconds, so it might be legit.
the spraywall is such a cool tool, I can't get any friend to practise on it w me except playing game, but I do dedicated sesh on the spraywall atleast one time in a week and I could pbby do only spraywall
Hey I made that hold at 7:20 in the video, to the left of your left hand, the dual-tex wood one. NO IDEA how it wound up there, must have ventured from Fort Collins at some point! It's gotta be trash at that angle haha.
Yo this is a reply to the groin pain, I had the same thing inside and outside of the thigh/hip thought I would share what I learned. Stretching made it so much worse and it never went away. I had to avoid limit climbing and limit stretching that aggregated my hip specifically. My rehab was bridge pose, happy baby pose, deadlifting with just a bar or even less just rocking my hips through that range of motion, and side planks progressing to Copenhagen planks. Anytime I felt the pain that was a sign that I was pushing to far and I would decrease. Took about a month of being strict but it went away.
@@Wheel_Rock Agreed with what said by @petvitzz. Copenhagen planks is really good for groin pain. A lot of groin pains stems from pain in the adductors origin at the pubic symphisis, and copenhagen planks target those really good. Good luck!
Regarding the hip pain: Go see an orthopedic specialist if at all possible. I say this as someone who was initially diagnosed (not by an ortho) with a groin strain. It turned out to actually be an issue with the joint itself, which was corrected with a simple and, surprisingly, not-very-painful surgery. Drop the stretching, tho. If anything, look up some rehab strengthening exercises for the hip and try those. I guarantee you a physical therapist would have you do things like "clam shells" along with some other exercises. Best of luck, dude!
repping the Fudan University shirt, that's hype af - shanghai climbers unite! When you say your fingers get inflamed easily do you mean you get tenosynovitis/synovitis easily?
question about tweaky fingers, i have this thing called pip tenosynovitis on both my middle fingers. i cant bend them all the way closed, but they do not hurt when climbing or hangboarding; however, i feel a sharp pain in it sometimes when i pinch the sides of the knuckle and try to bend it close. is this something you have when you mention the tweaky fingers? and what do you do to help?
I definitely have suspected I have Synovitis! My finger mobility is similarly horrendous despite my efforts to change such. The inflammation was awful 2 years ago, but I have learned to deal with it largely by the warp up routine done in the video.
@@Wheel_Rock after seeing the warmup routine in the video, i was thinking of adding it before i climb everytime. Good to know it helps you, thanks for the advice!
I climb like 5 times a week? 4 times inside 1 outside. When I’m training for a comp I mix in ~45 mins of comp training to my usual board stuff. I do gym climbs often as an extended warmup, like the first two climbs we do in this vid.
We both prefer not to. For me (Benn) my skin is too bad to do it at all. One hang on the 10mm and I’m split. Noah also doesn’t use them, he thinks it’s less effective for increasing actual strength.
@@Wheel_Rock Any tips then for getting better at small edge stuff? I can hang the 20mm with 20kg added but soon as it gets to sub 8mm stuff even two hands I just trail off, feels super limiting outdoors for me
i literally fell to my knees crying when the video ended. absolute cinema
Just so all the viewers know, I’ve never seen either of the Wheelers actual do any of this warmup.
Lmfaooooooo it’s my UA-cam Persona’s warmup not mine- Benn
Benn’s real warmup is just rapid firing whatever boulder he is about to project
so what do they actually do
@@peterjames7509they don’t

I like how it immediately goes from board warmups to hangboard projects
classic warm up, would recommend to all beginner climbers 😁

favorite climbing content on youtube. love the hard climbing
What insane strength! You guys are incredible! I hope to be that strong one day haha. Loved the video format! We need more spray wall sessions!
You guys are so chill with it .
Wild that Noah warms up with his dogs out and posts it on the internet for free. Is that the secret to getting stronger fingers?

awesome video guys. I'm a v5 climber 1 year in and it inspires me to see what kind of work it takes to climb hard.

The intro is actually gold😂 love the vibe

The one with blue texture? Big pinch?
@@Wheel_Rock Yeah that's the one, I noticed a few more on that wall I made as well.
@@garretehrick6137 Nic Rummel and I did a little hold swap a little bit ago, like those so much on his board I had to take them home with me!
@@DeltaDdrumming ahhhh it all makes sense now haha. Love to seem em out in the wild!
Yea, I didn't have space. So I gave em to Denver who is the head setter at SCC
"for my warm down I like to train hand strength"
Sick video as usual
Awesome vid guys, damn you are so strong it’s actually nuts

deep squats and atg split squats completely got rid of my groin strain

lets goooo. Please keep them coming!
Wow that problem on the wood looked hard! Definitely not soft and supple
Try hip thrusts, start lying flat on back, engage glutes and pull hips open by pointing knees outward.
literally campusing my project 😔

You need someone to massage that pain away brother
😉
can you please make a video on this auto wall moving thing in the backround
What is the angle of that board?
wow i love watching noah climb. not sure about the weird younger one though 🤓
are the wheeler brothers related?
Noahs adopted
No. 😂
did u measure the moonboard for hoseok?
No 💀 To be honest I’m never gonna remember to bring a ruler to the climbing gym.
How is that gym logging the boulders? An app? or physical binder?
They use the RetroFlash app.
@@Wheel_Rock nice. I like that one
ny favorite part was watching noah go up and down bens hard wood, when he finished it was epic
Interested in the instinct slippers. Are they any good?
If you have wide feet, heel isn't perfect but rest of the shoe is incredible, would recommend
nitpicking but i feel like the music is little loud 😭
did anyone redeem the wet surprise yet?
Nope
See a physio for that groin thing dude lmao if you thought it was testicular torsion
Sick content. So your actual climbing is pretty much just board climbing and outdoors? How many times a week do you guys do sessions like this one?
I climb like 5 times a week? 4 times inside 1 outside. When I’m training for a comp I mix in ~45 mins of comp training to my usual board stuff. I do gym climbs often as an extended warmup, like the first two climbs we do in this vid.
I want to climb like you
Out of curiosity have you guys ever used small edges as a training tool?
We both prefer not to. For me (Benn) my skin is too bad to do it at all. One hang on the 10mm and I’m split. Noah also doesn’t use them, he thinks it’s less effective for increasing actual strength.
@@Wheel_Rock Any tips then for getting better at small edge stuff? I can hang the 20mm with 20kg added but soon as it gets to sub 8mm stuff even two hands I just trail off, feels super limiting outdoors for me
Train 12mm or 10mm more. Not sure if training 8mm is ever worth it even for outdoors honestly.
@@Wheel_Rock cheers, will give it a go!
wait why you have Fudan Univ. shirt? 你是复旦校友么
去年春天我在复旦大学上课了。
@@Wheel_Rock damn. 你的中文不错啊
Ben's wood looks hard; I gotta try it
I can’t believe you have a piercing
哈哈 复旦。欢迎再来！
谢谢！
Springs!
the shaky ahh camrea
yall started clickbaiting now, unsubscribing
FUCK
I am a V17 climber who wants to get strong. What can I use?
