How To Do Your FIRST Pull-Up | 7 Steps
The pull-up is a popular exercise for climbers and really for anyone looking to build upper body strength. It's also a great standalone strength goal for anyone who can't do one, or has lost the ability they previously had to do the pull-up.
In this video Steve goes over the progression we use that has worked really for many of our athletes to achieve their first pull-up, along with correct form and how to avoid injury.
Many folks think they will never be able to master this exercise, but we are betting that if you stick with this progression you too will be able to do pull-ups!
This progressive method is a program we originally adapted from Josh Hillis, check out his work here: joshhillis.com/

Jonathan Siegrist - Pneuma (14d/9a) | Tensleep TESTPIECE
มุมมอง 10Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In August of 2024 Jonathan made a trip back to one of his favorite summer haunts after years away, the high country of Wyoming. In just a few weeks he rampaged through a ticklist of hard classics, including redpoints of a couple 14d/9a routes, and multiple 5.14 onsights and flashes. This route, Pneuma, is the hardest of the bunch, and is one of several projects bolted around 20 years ago by Mat...
Can You Keep Training While Traveling?

Climbers who are committed to consistent training often follow a pretty well structured pattern in their training habits.

Many climbers find it really stressful when their routine gets thrown off, and they are worried that they will lose hard won progress they have made. In this video Steve talks about h...
How Should Climbers Train Core Strength?
มุมมอง 53K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Core work is more than just making your abs tired. Here’s the thing I see a lot of: Climber swings up the wall between jugs, shaking out at the biggest ones and breathing hard; finally gets to rest stance and the whole body goes slack. Hangs on arms to “rest” but is actually increasing the work the arms have to do because (I believe) he lacks core strength and breathing skills to maintain full ...

  • @juliolamb
    @juliolamb 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Probably the most well informed channel in line with current science on strength training for climbers I’ve seen so far! 👏 I’m just not a fan of how the preparation periods are broken up into such blocks; current S&C literature tells us that microdosing high velocity/ ballistic outputs is as effective - if not more - than an entire block - also has the benefit of an athlete not detraining the other more robust qualities induced by high force bilateral training, and the athlete is accumulating coordinative properties. Also “sport specific” strength training for me is always a problematic concept - because it promotes the idea that if it “looks” like the sport it’s “good” strength training. When the reality is that it could fall into training purgatory - neither heavy enough to induce true strength adaptation, nor enough like the sport to have any benefit either from a coordinative capacity or power production. Based on how literature available, and results from other well researched sports, I think it’s more relevant to speak about developing general force/velocity production properties per demand of the sport, and getting them to do the sport as much as possible in tandem with that. Which is to say a standard strength session could be bilateral force production + stability + velocity, twice a week in tandem with usual climbing load. Then in preparation for peak season, you can monitor force production times and increase/decrease load depending on the athlete and the timing they need to get them peaking correctly - just like any other sport.

    Hey Steve. I’m planning a trip to the Lander area starting 10/7/24 (I actually grew up in Riverton) and discovered your channel. Very cool information. I’ve been watching all your training vids and have applied a few aspects. I have a background in personal training so it’s all very familiar to me already. My #1 bio-hack hurdle by a thousand miles is recovery. I feel like I can theorize all day long about what sort of training I’ll be doing, but if I’m too sore to put my socks on my feet in the morning, that all just becomes a pipe dream. I’ve learned a few things along the way and have seen great improvements in the reduction in recovery time but this is still my main focus. I don’t drink alcohol, I stretch every day, lots of water, cycle creatine, sleep well!, rarely overdo training or climbing, eat good foods, include cardio, ice bath when I have the courage… anything you can think of that I’m missing? I’ll be up there in October so hopefully we can meet. Thanks for putting this info out there even if you get some odd-ball comments like this on occasion. All the best Ben

    I have never been convinced that core exercises were a good use of a climbers time/energy. It seems to me that almost all of the markers of poor core strength are actually markers of poor coordination. Obviously there is some strength component, as I can feel a lot of fatigue in the midsection if I haven't been climbing in a while. However, my intuition is that climbing itself is sufficient training for this area of the body. Am I completely off base here?
