I'm not a huge dyno guy, but a big thing I notice non-dyno people doing when they try dynamic movement is pumping like 15 times before they finally make the move. I found once I started just going for it on the first or second pump I had a lot more success. Pumping on the wall a bunch of times doesn't make you jump any higher or make the hold closer, it just makes you tired.
Yesterday on a climb, I struggled to statically put my leg high enough to the next high foot hold; However, the following try, I recycled the momentum from the move before that and it was very easy. Feels so good. Lol'ed at the French man reference; the dominant style in fontainebleau is very slow and static, which makes sense on slabs but not much on everything else.
There should be a link in the description for a book by John Kettle on climbing drills. If you end up getting it then the section on four springs goes nicely with the concepts in this video. I'm actually just a huge proponent of it in general since there's so much content there, but if you don't feel like buying that then you can stay tuned for when I make videos featuring those concepts in the future :)
I think the first rule of dynamic climbing is to pick up dynamic climbing before the age of 25 when the brain fully develops. I never want to do dynos because my brain weighs the risk vs rewards and always says "Nope"
I dunno if age matters so much as body type- I started climbing at 30 and dynos/dynamic climbing are my preference- my static climbing and lock-off strength are way weaker. IMO shorter/stockier people probably naturally climb more dynamically, while lankier/skinnier people will skew more static.

it feels so good when I'm able to grab a hold and use the momentum to flow to the next hold rather than moving in chunks
Totally agree, and I think sometimes I chase that satisfaction too much. Definitely moments where I overdo it since it’s so fun
WOOO SO HAPPY TO SEE A NEW VIDEO!!
now i'll be the one waiting for your next release haha
awesome! any drills you can suggest?
