  • Yooooo everyone, here's a video on some exercises that I tend do every week! You could also do them if there are no new boulders in the gym which is what usually happens for me because I am someone who really hates re doing boulders that I have already made or worked on, so I usually end up doing these exercises.
    Hope you enjoy them and let me know how it goes !!

    My favorite exercise is to try to stay on the wall which have a lot of holds density the longer as possible without ever matching the feet or the hand. It really cure my bad habit to match hold and made me more fluid. Also teach me to keep having good technique when tired.

    A cool exercise is to do boulders without making any noise, increase the precision of the movement so much, and is fun with friends "you make noise start again" 💪🏻

    There's three I like to do:
    1.Upclimb and downclimb your grade or one below, starting and ending on the beginning holds.
    2. On easier grades, upclimb and downclimb, then traverse to the start of the next and repeat until your body wants to give up, but push past the wall.
    3. On really easy grades, climb with one arm behind your back. Then climb the same problem with the other arm behind your back.
    Awesome channel by the way 😎

    @KaciSendsSometimes 3 роки тому +1

    Love the intro--such a sad day when there are no new boulders :( Great set of exercises to get through it! (The pull up one looks particularly tough).
    Some other exercises I'd add to the list: Sloth Climbing (making every hand and foot move extremely slowly, like a sloth), Monkey Climbing (keeping arms straight and moving off the momentum/swing from the previous move), silent climbing (jump down and re-start if you make a noise with hands or feet), and power freezes (make every move very powerfully and dynamically, but then freeze the instant you catch the hold and try to tense your body so there is no swing or movement).
    Thanks for the great set of videos so far!

    When I do 4x4s, I have to do four different routes four times each without rest.
    One exercise I've done during practice is pyramids. You do three pretty easy routes, then two medium routes that took you a couple tries to get, and then the hardest problem you've got in the gym, and then you back down and do the medium ones and then the easy ones. (all without rest)

    Btw, one great exercise you haven't mentioned (I think) is climbing the boulder not only up and also down, great for endurance if you do it more times and also for having more attention on your footwork, but I'm sure you just forgot to mention it.

    We like to play a game where we repeat an easy boulder we did, we compete on using the least amount of holds possible.
    You have to use the start and top holds, so the limit is two, but getting to 3 or 4 is usually really creative, fun, respectable and mainly delightful!
    Usually, you try to not use starting feed, reuse handholds for feet and if there is a circle of holds, you just do a mega dyno to skip it :D

    @beepbopboop3221 3 роки тому

    1. My son likes to do add one exercises. It takes 2 and you take turns adding a move to create a bouldering with what is up. 2. I do an exercise where I don't use the inside edge of my right foot or my left. It makes for some interesting moves on easy boulders. Nearly everytime it adds knee dips. If I do this with right foot it give my bad foot a break and if I do it with the left it forces me to trust the right inside edge which usually I don't. I have bunion, decreased ROM, and likely arthritis in the right big toe. 3. Sometimes I climb the kids wall, using only foot holds for feet. There are usually extra holds over there to account for different heights on climbers so I also try to either do it stretch out or with high feet. I like high feet but the other boulders I get stuck trying to stretch out since I'm only 5 ft. It's a good training area since the walls are not as high. Maybe shorter by only a few feet.

    • @sofya_yokoyama
      @sofya_yokoyama  3 роки тому +2

      Some technique exercises that I can think of are: trying to make no noise with your feet on the wall to work on feet placement and preciseness (try to also focus on placing the toe part of the shoe on the holds). Climbing slabs helps quite a bit. Also hip placement and center of gravity is important. It's hard to explain like this but try playing around with different hip positions (close to the wall, far from the wall - meaning your butt is hanging low, rotating your hips so the right side is close to the wall, then left,...etc). Hope this helps a bit !

    • @sofya_yokoyama
      @sofya_yokoyama  3 роки тому

      It all depends on the amount of "try hard" you are giving. If you are giving all you can (120%) to hold the holds and try to move off them then I would say yes. I work on moves that I can't make but I'm giving all the power I have to try to get as far as possible in the movement. But if it's so hard, you can't even really try hard (60%) then there's no point.

    Another exercise we are doing usually: Take a boulder below your grade - our gym uses a color system, so its hard to translate - and the first one can take out a hand or foothold, that stays out of the game. Everybody climbs it. The second one reduce the boulder by the next hold and everybody climbs it. Everytime somebody isn't able to do it, he/she is out. That goes on until only one is left or your have to make dynos from start to middle to top.
    Something similar: Choose a boulder below your grade and try to solve it with few steps as possible.

    Thanks for the great tips! I guess these are mostly strength and endurance related excercises, can you give some tips on technique excercises, too?
