Moved around a bit as a child (class of 2005), had at least 5 gym teachers through K-12 where we actually did rope climbing, and not one taught this but immediately made sense as soon as I saw him make the foothold. Also why I call them gym teachers and not physical educators as they didn't educate me on shit, honestly, other than how fun kickball and dodgeball are, no teacher's license required for that shit.
@@nathanjoselin1617it doesn't take a tonne of core strength to go up 10-15' But continuously contorting like that will wear people out over time That's why it's a good fitness test because it forces you to keep going or fail
That's the worst, lmao. If you want to conserve strength, keep your body as close to the rope as possible, use your abdominal and legs to bring your feet up high, then lock in. If you lean you upper body back so far, you need to use your upper body to pull it back up to the rope. It's not efficient.
This is what PE lessons should be about. Life saving physical abilities mastered to perfection and efficiency. We will need it more than ever, especially our children who sit behind the screens all day.
I bet in Chyna theyforce the kids from age three to do "Boot Camp" training then able to take over the world. Long range plans. Dad was in India & Chyna defending Chyna in WWII, born in Bavaria, U.S. citizen back in 1977. Grandparents U.S. citizens back in 1926 and proud of their citizenship making a life in a strange country lesrning to be an American. Seven houses owned free and clear coming from dirt poor working off passage to America a year by teir sponsor. Strong morals handed down no "Freebies" taken or not earned......~~=o&o>.......
Idk about being behind screen all day but good PE classes with lessons such as this that and or self defense classes would be beneficial to the children of a country that had them.
As someone with an animation degree, yes, we unironically love running into shit like this. These are things that people, even animators don’t think about until we need to animate it. So having videos like this help us out a lot and are just cool for us
Bro, I hear him but all I'm seeing is fucking impressive arm and core strength. Dude sounds like he's sitting down giving a lecture while doing all that.
The core strength to do this is not impressive. Go to a dip station and raise ur legs into a tuck. That’s all that is required. What’s impressive here is the BACK strength, particularly the lats, to do essentially a tucked lever raise (what he calls the “pitch up”). Even though its just intermediate calisthenics, most of the people at a casual gym can’t do it, while this guy is repping it.
@@WingsxFreedom Your brain wount think so, you shoulder and core can absolutely handle this sort of thing but its simply too much strain that your brain is used to.
This right here! I could never climb the rope in gym and gymnastics because my own body weight was too much for my arms, but I found out my legs were a whole different story
It’s strange for me that people can’t climb the rope. In school I always climbed without any difficulty. But the others were staying below with eyes wide opened.
Makes me think of all the obese football coaches I’ve had seve as pe teacher versus the fit coaches of the 40s and 50s before germ theory ruined medicine . Like it’s honestly the principals fault for hiring them. Putting football above fitness and well being of the entire student body of a school.
@@gonefishin02 I’d almost argue it’s not the gender their confused about it’s just what they landed on . Ultimately I think it’s a spiritual misalignment a conflict between the brain and soul it’s not that they are confused about gender it’s everything they don’t know why we do the things we do the original meaning behind tradition was never communicated to them nor their parents if you don’t raise your kids someone else will. Things we take for grant I mean simple things they don’t know very small connections that were supposed to be made at an early age never happened. Not all is lost there is a “Christian” and “spiritual” reassugance happening amongst the gen z. Much like some of the beatniks “original were” . Though it will not I do not think be based in catholism but more in orthodoxy with the Protestants trying once again to find” truth” that’s of course coming off the heels of me reading seraphim of platina works.
Great tutorial, makes so much sense. Keeping your arms straight is always less tiring, and getting your feet higher means much faster and efficient climbing while your legs and core do more of the work.
@@fku5737I dunno I'm 70kg, 40yo and it's fine yo, I mean I climb once in awhile in the weekends, but feel weak AF atm, I think that's just basic fitness in the video his foot technique is the most interesting to me, fug I doubt I'd ever done that right
They way his breath is constant and he doesn't miss a beat while explaining? Wow just the right tone for teaching smth and make it easy to understand👏👏👏
Honestly tho... if I seen my kid trying to ring the bell up there I'd have a heart attack... maybe having kids made me softer but I couldn't imagine the pain I'd feel if they fell from that hight leg alone their pain. 😢
@@SWAREXXX That's fair. But as a kid, being allowed to physically explore the world and my limitations was a huge part of my happiness and personality. I got hurt here and there, but it was 100% worth the experiences.
Learned this technique on the Marines. I can honestly say it is so much easier with combat boots on because the clamp is more secure but all the same this is the proper way to climb a rope with the least effort.
I still remember doing PE as a kid 45 years ago and having to climb ropes. I got a lot of grief because I never could. Then again we never got any instruction at all, just climb it lol. I wish I had someone like this show me.
Back in the day when I was in grade school they wanted it to be an upper body exercise... I remember those ropes... they weren't flexible enough to use the foot clamp he is demonstrating.
This is actually so helpful, so youre basically climbing in reverse. Youre climbing with your feet and holding on with your hands instead of climbing with your hands and holding on with your feet
I know, when I was young, in junior high, in gym,they had rope climbing. But they never showed us how to do it. So I couldn't do it! I didn't have uper body strength!
But you’re not climbing with your feet. Yeah getting your feet up and then going up makes it seem super easy but most people don’t have the core to fucking lift their feet that high while holding their weight with their arms. Most people are falling first try. He should have demonstrated a much smaller incline for your feet to show how inching upwards would be better for most people than trying to do a midair crunch while holding their weight with nothing but their arms while 10 ft off the ground.
This makes logically sense. ❤❤The thigh bone and muscle is the biggest and strongest in our entire body. To utilise it, it is the smartest thing to do.😊😊
Learned from an air assault dude this technique. He said his instructors smoked the hell out of their arms so they didnt have a choice but to only use 90% of their legs to climb. Great skill to learn!
Yeah for rock climbing too I wonder why it is, are the arms just far less efficient or generally smaller/weaker than the legs and core? Given they likely day to day do way less work than lower parts of the body...
If I had a teacher like this man I might have been able to climb the darn rope. I was a beast at situps so the core strength wasn't an issue at that point in my life.
If every class in school had teachers like this, we with ADHD would learn much easier.. So good explained and not just "writing thing on a board" explaining all the time.... Hat off for you 👌
Not for me. I used to have a crush on one of my beautiful middle school gym teachers, and she was ripped. I remember looking at the random yearbook pics that year and sure enough you see me sitting closest to her on the gym floor and I didn’t even know pictures were getting taken at the time lol.
My gym teacher was overweight, only surviving on meds and show every little bit of the exercise perfectly. I dont know how he does it but he was a beast
The rope climb used to be a men's gymnastics discipline. It was a totally different technique. It started from a seated position and completed just using the arms, no feet.
Yeah, that's how we used to rope-climb back when middle school was called junior high. Fifty-four years later and fifty-five pounds heavier, I would probably need to clamp with my feet.
Talk about a job we need good teachers for in the US. It's not that hard to be in shape, your body wants it and will not fight you if you do it poperly
For real. I'm a tall boi but I shape and heavy (6'2", 230ish, not toned or whatever) and work retail. A newish person couldn't clamp a step stool down with their grip, I offered to help, tried once and my own grip was like 'nah', so I asked em to hold it down and dnkey kicked it once and boom, step stool collapsed. Arms are for picking shit up, legs are for carrying our fat ass all over the place.
Same applies in rock climbing. Bending your arms to pull yourself up or rest taxes your forearms and biceps, and reduces blood flow to the arms. They’ll get exhausted pretty fast no matter how strong you are. Press with your legs instead of pulling with your arms, they’re the strongest part of the body.
It's also physics. The more you bend your arm, the more energy you have to invest for the same hold. 0° = 100% 90° would per se be 0%, but of course your body and muscles holding and working together still manage to deliver a bit, but the costs are way higher.
The rope climbing without any explanation was one of the most frustrating things ever at school. The other frustrating thing was jumping over these wooden boxes with the leather on top. I was always concerned how in the world would I do it and land afterwards on my feet. What if I miss the height and get caught with my feet on the top while I try to jump over it and land uncontrolled after that box on the mat. Yes, there were flat mats, but nothing trustworthy. And a jumping board before that box did not help to make me feel safer in any way. I just aborted each and every single try over the years. It was horrible for me. That's how you make sports the most unpleasant and most hated things ever. Of course I stopped doing any kind of sports after school. I had no fun with sports at all. I don't even watch sports on TV ;-) "Oh we have played soo good". Who is "we"? The favorite sports club? ;-) Therefore sports is a No for me. What a shame. The teacher could instead make sports a fun thing without some sort of stupid and maybe risky athletics. There are schools with emphasis on sports for anyone who wants to do this. But I was in another school anyways. They don't need to make us hate sports. It's a missed chance to make peole do more sports in their lives to stay fit and healthy. But no, they do these strange sport disciplines instead that keep the normal people as far away from sports as possible after the school years. A missed chance for public health by sports teachers at school that just go after some niche disciplines instead of teaching the kids to have fun with sports.
@@richard--swe never did the boxes. I'd get frustrated that everyone else seemed to know how sports just worked, mechanically, and I didn't because my parents weren't into sports. I feel like gym teachers always just assumed everyone knew the rules and the way to do things like hold a tennis racket or dunk a basketball
My teacher just pulled it out an made us race to the ceiling lol. My PE teachers didn't give a shit tbh and they were fucking the female PE teachers to.
Aerialist here 🙋🏻♀️ he's right. Hanging with straight arms whenever you can will always be more efficient than with bent arms. Climbing this way enables you to use your legs to gain height, not your arms - which are obviously a lot stronger. The other piece he didn't mention is the squeeze between the feet. I see this all the time with newbies - if you lose track of what your feet are doing, you'll never get off the ground. Pinching the rope between your feet hard enough to support your weight is the most important part. I can climb 20 feet in 3 climbs when I do it this way, and it's not as tiring as you'd think! Work smarter, not harder 💪🏻
100% this. Straight arms and Russian climb are super efficient. The non-aerialists probably don't realize there are also lots of other less efficient but artistic styles: classic/French climb, various toe climbs (I'm partial to Mallakhamb toe climbs!), bicycle, Russian twist, Russian flirt, the various knee hook ones, ones that require two strands like crochet climb.... Aerials is an absolute blast 😍
Not a rope climber, but I learned on my own about climbing troop nets over the side of a ship. It doesn't take long to figure out your arms aren't designed to get you up quickly. Hold the net and leg climb as high as you can. Set your feet while you move your arms & torso up. Repeat.
I’m sure it’s easier than using your arms and you could climb farther using this technique, using more of your other muscles-legs especially. But I could fly up the rope easily just using my arms. I would consider this technique if I could safely do a rescue extracting another man safely to higher ground in an emmergency. But I am not convinced that foot technique could work. The extra dead might shift my center of gravity…
As someone who doesn't have much upper arm strength, I've always found interesting ways to compensate, I like the footwork. I wish I knew this as a kid
This is an amazing explanation. Why doesn't anybody ever talk about this? I remember back in high school, our physical education teachers just expected kids to do, but there was a sub once that actually took the time to explain the biomechanics in a class we were doing (can't remember what it was for exactly). I found it absolutely fascinating and remember doing really well compared to the just doing shit for the sake of doing shit that all the other classes felt like. It's literally the difference between average teachers and great teachers.
Because it's the wrong way and very dangerous. This is extremely stupid. The whole point of pinching the rope with your feet is because you are supposed to be using your legs to stand up then walk your hands up the rope. He slips and falls straight onto his head. He is also swinging. He's an idiot. Not an expert.
@@jasondadudetoo4176I am not also convinced he is an expert either. I also think someone's body has a lot to do with it. Me? Before I became terminally ill I could just use my arms to go up the rope. I was small at 5'7 and 136 poinds so it was easier compared to someone who is say 230 pounds at 6'3. Also that requires a ton of core strength that many people do not have... If I needed to climb normally I would just lift my knees basically close to my chest. Then stand... I don't understand why he is kicking out his entire core... Just to catch the rope maybe?
Nobody is saying he's an expert the point is that he's explaining something while most teachers don't do shit to make you feel interested@@dianapennepacker6854
When I was a kid I muscled through rope climbs, as if doing pull ups. Now I see just wasted energy and not instructed properly. Thank you for illustrating it correctly. I’m grateful. 😊
It’s not wasted at all, you just did it strict. I compete and I can tell you that 80% of the clowns out there can’t get up a 20 foot rope even with their legs.
The rope climb was the most demoralizing shit, as someone who was VERY physically fit in high school. We only did it like 5 times, and everytime I didn't understand how to do it properly cause nobody ever explained it so I'd get like 1 foot off and then couldnt go any higher
@@michaelgresham1980 The point of getting up a rope is to do some kind of job once you get up there. It should be about getting to the top wasting as little energy as possible so you can get on with whatever task is waiting for you up there.
Very nice demo of rope climbing! I only tried a couple times and always struggled but your straightforward way of showing it as a technical problem inspired me to try it again!
That would’ve prevented my rope burns in elementary school, when my teacher didn’t explain anything. Went up the rope and on the top i realized i dont know how to get down.
In the Netherlands there are these survivalruns wich are a couple of kilometers filled with obstacles, they all use this technique and many more. Its all to save the arm strength because thats the first to go
That coaching on dead hang, that helped a lot in preserving grip stamina. I still look like a bell hanging on for dear life in a hurricane but it works.
The biggest mistake most people make is climbing with their arms. We climb stairs and ladders with our legs and balance with our arms. We should climb everything else the same way.
As a previous cell tower tech I agree with you 100%. That being said, I would still have to make a conscious effort to utilize my legs most of the time when I climbed. Arms just get all "I know what to do, don't waste any time listening to legs down there".
Of course to those who may be new to rope climbing it does look weird doing the instructions like this slow and frankly idiotic hahaha but trust me this guy knows the mechanics pretty well. Your lower body is structured to be superior in these types of situations and if the arms and use of leverage is the supporting factor
I’m guessing grip is the main thing that can tire in the upper body… but if you do the lower body movements quick enough then you only have to grip strongly for just a moment of each cycle
It's easier to train arm strength and lose weight than fancy body mechanics/coordination. as a marine we had pull-ups as part of our fitness test. Now after I got to the fleet we'd have O course races and this technique when learned by a tall lanky type is superior. 3 reps and he's up. Then you couldn't slide down the rope you had to grip and lower.
When I had to rope climb in the Navy, we were taught to run the rope between our legs and around our calf from inside to outside (for me my right leg), then back over top of our foot from outside to inside. Finish it off by standing on the rope on top of our foot with our non-wrapped free foot (for me my left foot). The rope would be pinched between the top of one foot and the bottom of the other foot. Lift your feet, pinch the rope, and stand straight up, keeping the weight off of your arms. Repeat.
Australian Army we were taught this as well, minus the rope wrapped around your thigh, it's an amazing technique though, you can lean against the rope and remove your hands altogether and just stand there, up a rope.
Learned the same in the Army, it's a lot more expedient and uses less core than what this guy is showing. It's also easier to go back down with this method.
My ex Navy partner taught me this way. I showed him something more like the video and he was on his knees laugh crying while I yelled CATERPILLAR CATERPILLAR CLIMBS WHATEVER HIS CHUBBY BODY WANTS/CATERPILLLAR CATERPILLAR IS JEALOUS OF ARMS A TREX GOT/ CATERPILLAR CATERPILLAR STILL CLIMBING UPSIDE DOWN ... ON A STEM SKINNY LIKE THIS ROPE I GOT!! It's just long enough to climb up and down from a third story window, he was drilling exits in case of emergency. I was drilling entry in case I forgot my keys 😅
That’s how I was first taught as well. I later switched to just the pinch around the foot but only if the rope climb is less than 20 feet. If you’re rope climbing higher than 25 feet, I still prefer the additional wrap around the calf.
I had someone explain this to me during an obstacle course I had been training to just muscle through it. This literally saved me from failing, night and day difference in muscle fatigue.
Always climb with your legs. Rock walls included (unless you’re at negative angles), people think it’s all arms and grip, but the power comes from the lower body.
@@234i9 but at “mediocre levels of rock climbing”, you’re lifting your body with leg power, not your “grip”. Only extremely fit athletes can use their arms to pull themselves 20 feet vertical, even with the easiest hand holds and grips. What I’m saying is that the average layperson or beginner looks at a wall that some guy is “spidermanning” and sees those arms and legs in the wall and those grips, and is under the delusion the guy is pulling himself up a wall, when he is actually walking up a wall with his legs, and his hands are just keeping him against the wall so he can use his legs.
@@djdoc06Youre close. While legs are pretty important in climbing your upper body is by far the more developed and proportionately stronger muscle group. Your upper body is way more important in all levels of climbing. Obviously legs play a big role but theres a reason that most of the time you can do an easier climb with just arms and not just legs.
@@Roald94 You are right, I’m guessing, based on statistics and more likely then not, they are out of shape overweight and haven’t ever climbed a free hanging rope. Ever! Give me one real life example of where you would ever have to climb a rope that is hanging without any walls or cliff to use for leverage… Name one job one hobby, anything except Physical education or training exercise?
@@iforc Apparently I'm not the only one here who didn't realize this, but let me ask you, what purpose did you remarking the way you did on my comment serve? I admitted that I didn't know something, and you chose to mock me for it, does it make you feel good, strong, smart and powerful to do that to people you don't know? You're an asshole.
I found out about this before leaving for army basic training. When it came to the rope climb everyone was so confused about how I was able to climb up so easily lmao
Climbing with legs is most efficient. But climbing with just your arms and legs hanging is badass. One of my favorite memories, peak strength after years of bodybuilding.
It depends what the goal is, if you want to efficiently climb the rope, then straight arms is the way to go. If you want an upper body workout, then don’t use your legs at all. Former pole vaulter here, and we would do rope climbs with legs just dangling, in pike position, and even inverting pulling our feet straight up along the rope and down every 2 arm pulls. Some of the best work outs ever.
"Excuse me sir, I'd like to climb the rope efficiently but I don't have the arm strength to do it with my legs dangling" He's showing complete novices the easiest way to climb a rope and you're seriously telling us how much better you _used to be_ at it?
@@dielaughing73 the two methods aren't related. If you want to gain upper body strength, but can't climb without your legs, then use your legs. You get any more technical and it's like cheating at curls lol.
At my gymnastics class we were not allowed to use our legs to do rope climbs once we made team. The point is not to get up the rope. The point is to get stronger.
LOL as a past gymnasts i was looking for a comment like this. I was like, "I don't think that's right, ..but maybe I'm misremembering things." because I remember the whole point being to use your arms and not your legs 😂..
@@tessm6616Yeah exactly! Start in a seated position either straddled or legs together and climb when ready! I thought that was a standard rope climb right? 😉
The girls in my moms gymnastics class aren’t allowed to use their feet for rope climbs they have to stay in a seated position with their legs straight and toes pointed. If their legs start to dip they have to start again. It’s all about core activation and arm strength. This would be solid if you needed to climb a rope in a life or death situation. But as an exercise this is equivalent to pull ups with a rubber band. Still effective but corner cutting all the same.
right? my 6 year old in gymnastics is almost able to climb without using her legs at all. she's freakishly strong. this looks like a CrossFit gym 🙄. those bros are full of shortcuts, like those nonsense kipping pull-ups.
Or, this is for a different purpose. The exercise you're talking about isn't a rope climbing exercise; it's a core/arm strength exercise. If your purpose is purely to climb a rope, you'll want to use all muscles available to you. There's more to the world than your narrow perspective.
@@ImInUrHd or you have never climbed anything in your life and don’t realize how much energy you consume when you isolate your muscles and only focus on driving your hips/legs upwards during a climb
@Thats0neBadHatHarry easy, bro. It's a simple fact that using multiple muscle groups to accomplish a singular task is easier than using a single, smaller muscle group. If, instead, we are talking about using that task to train different muscle groups, it's an entirely different argument. My only point here is that we're all arguing true and valid points, but for different videos. Also, I've been at the end of more ropes than most amateur OF performers, so don't be a dick.

Great tutorial, makes so much sense.
Keeping your arms straight is always less tiring, and getting your feet higher means much faster and efficient climbing while your legs and core do more of the work.

This is actually so helpful, so youre basically climbing in reverse. Youre climbing with your feet and holding on with your hands instead of climbing with your hands and holding on with your feet
I think that's just normal climbing... But yeah, they don't teach this like they should.
I know, when I was young, in junior high, in gym,they had rope climbing. But they never showed us how to do it. So I couldn't do it! I didn't have uper body strength!
He's not basically climbing in reverse! He's basically climbing your mom 😅
But you’re not climbing with your feet. Yeah getting your feet up and then going up makes it seem super easy but most people don’t have the core to fucking lift their feet that high while holding their weight with their arms. Most people are falling first try. He should have demonstrated a much smaller incline for your feet to show how inching upwards would be better for most people than trying to do a midair crunch while holding their weight with nothing but their arms while 10 ft off the ground.
This makes logically sense. ❤❤The thigh bone and muscle is the biggest and strongest in our entire body. To utilise it, it is the smartest thing to do.😊😊

Wooow! I might have a chance to finally climb up the rope with this instructions. Thank you!
" These " instructions yo! ;)
I was literally just talking about that this week
Make sure you have strength to match the technique
I think I just learned something that could have helped diminish my nerd status in High School.
I am a drill sgt and I couldn't have explained it better to my trainees. I learn't someting new today.
My drill sgt taught us to wrap your leg around the rope, and when you move up the rope it stays around your leg and on top of your foot to wedge it
It’s super interesting to see how vital preserving arm strength is to so many sports
I learned today how this is true for bouldering
@@teunlllsame, I just recently had somebody tell me to stop holding myself as close to the wall
Yeah for rock climbing too I wonder why it is, are the arms just far less efficient or generally smaller/weaker than the legs and core? Given they likely day to day do way less work than lower parts of the body...
If I had a teacher like this man I might have been able to climb the darn rope. I was a beast at situps so the core strength wasn't an issue at that point in my life.

The rope climb used to be a men's gymnastics discipline. It was a totally different technique. It started from a seated position and completed just using the arms, no feet.
Yeah, that's how we used to rope-climb back when middle school was called junior high. Fifty-four years later and fifty-five pounds heavier, I would probably need to clamp with my feet.

Talk about a job we need good teachers for in the US. It's not that hard to be in shape, your body wants it and will not fight you if you do it poperly
Its true. We spend most of the time exhausting our arms and we completely miss on the raw power our legs have
yeh and I doubt he's barely feeling it in his legs if at all
you learn pretty fast in rock climbing how useful the legs are😊
For real. I'm a tall boi but I shape and heavy (6'2", 230ish, not toned or whatever) and work retail. A newish person couldn't clamp a step stool down with their grip, I offered to help, tried once and my own grip was like 'nah', so I asked em to hold it down and dnkey kicked it once and boom, step stool collapsed. Arms are for picking shit up, legs are for carrying our fat ass all over the place.
@@dreamingthelifei think it is more of a core-movement, yeah the legs play a good part of it but to raise them you need good abs
Legs aint doing shit, its the glutes and lats pulling you up (core)
That’s actually a really good point, you don’t have to use all your upper arm strength. Smart, I like it.
Thanks!!! This will come in soooo handy when I'm boarding Pirate Ships!!!!
Woohoo!!!
You too‽ Maybe we should team up for a few jobs. We will look so professional climbing the ropes.
You learn this straight arm technique (using hips and legs to push up) in rock climbing, invaluable transferrable skill 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Same applies in rock climbing. Bending your arms to pull yourself up or rest taxes your forearms and biceps, and reduces blood flow to the arms. They’ll get exhausted pretty fast no matter how strong you are. Press with your legs instead of pulling with your arms, they’re the strongest part of the body.
It's also physics.
The more you bend your arm, the more energy you have to invest for the same hold.
0° = 100%
90° would per se be 0%, but of course your body and muscles holding and working together still manage to deliver a bit, but the costs are way higher.
Thanks for the information.

Rock climbing 101
Good luck on overhangs
Not once did a teacher attempt to explain how to climb a rope. Saying that, I’d never seen one do it either!
those that cant do usually teach.
The rope climbing without any explanation was one of the most frustrating things ever at school.
The other frustrating thing was jumping over these wooden boxes with the leather on top. I was always concerned how in the world would I do it and land afterwards on my feet. What if I miss the height and get caught with my feet on the top while I try to jump over it and land uncontrolled after that box on the mat. Yes, there were flat mats, but nothing trustworthy. And a jumping board before that box did not help to make me feel safer in any way. I just aborted each and every single try over the years. It was horrible for me.
That's how you make sports the most unpleasant and most hated things ever. Of course I stopped doing any kind of sports after school. I had no fun with sports at all.
I don't even watch sports on TV ;-) "Oh we have played soo good". Who is "we"? The favorite sports club? ;-) Therefore sports is a No for me.
What a shame. The teacher could instead make sports a fun thing without some sort of stupid and maybe risky athletics.
There are schools with emphasis on sports for anyone who wants to do this. But I was in another school anyways. They don't need to make us hate sports. It's a missed chance to make peole do more sports in their lives to stay fit and healthy.
But no, they do these strange sport disciplines instead that keep the normal people as far away from sports as possible after the school years.
A missed chance for public health by sports teachers at school that just go after some niche disciplines instead of teaching the kids to have fun with sports.
@@richard--swe never did the boxes. I'd get frustrated that everyone else seemed to know how sports just worked, mechanically, and I didn't because my parents weren't into sports. I feel like gym teachers always just assumed everyone knew the rules and the way to do things like hold a tennis racket or dunk a basketball
My teacher just pulled it out an made us race to the ceiling lol. My PE teachers didn't give a shit tbh and they were fucking the female PE teachers to.
@@richard--sWell said, sir. I agree. 👍🏻
Aerialist here 🙋🏻♀️ he's right. Hanging with straight arms whenever you can will always be more efficient than with bent arms. Climbing this way enables you to use your legs to gain height, not your arms - which are obviously a lot stronger.
The other piece he didn't mention is the squeeze between the feet. I see this all the time with newbies - if you lose track of what your feet are doing, you'll never get off the ground. Pinching the rope between your feet hard enough to support your weight is the most important part.
I can climb 20 feet in 3 climbs when I do it this way, and it's not as tiring as you'd think! Work smarter, not harder 💪🏻
100% this. Straight arms and Russian climb are super efficient. The non-aerialists probably don't realize there are also lots of other less efficient but artistic styles: classic/French climb, various toe climbs (I'm partial to Mallakhamb toe climbs!), bicycle, Russian twist, Russian flirt, the various knee hook ones, ones that require two strands like crochet climb.... Aerials is an absolute blast 😍
Not a rope climber, but I learned on my own about climbing troop nets over the side of a ship. It doesn't take long to figure out your arms aren't designed to get you up quickly. Hold the net and leg climb as high as you can. Set your feet while you move your arms & torso up. Repeat.
I’m sure it’s easier than using your arms and you could climb farther using this technique, using more of your other muscles-legs especially. But I could fly up the rope easily just using my arms. I would consider this technique if I could safely do a rescue extracting another man safely to higher ground in an emmergency. But I am not convinced that foot technique could work. The extra dead might shift my center of gravity…
As someone who doesn't have much upper arm strength, I've always found interesting ways to compensate, I like the footwork. I wish I knew this as a kid
How do you get down after?
Now that is a coach! The way he could move and continue breathing while talking like it's a normal everyday conversation
This is an amazing explanation. Why doesn't anybody ever talk about this?
I remember back in high school, our physical education teachers just expected kids to do, but there was a sub once that actually took the time to explain the biomechanics in a class we were doing (can't remember what it was for exactly).
I found it absolutely fascinating and remember doing really well compared to the just doing shit for the sake of doing shit that all the other classes felt like.
It's literally the difference between average teachers and great teachers.
Because it's the wrong way and very dangerous. This is extremely stupid. The whole point of pinching the rope with your feet is because you are supposed to be using your legs to stand up then walk your hands up the rope. He slips and falls straight onto his head. He is also swinging. He's an idiot. Not an expert.
Developing grip, arm, lat strength climbing a rope all at the same time. Learning how to Lock Climb is a whole other thing, mostly in the Brain.
@@jasondadudetoo4176I am not also convinced he is an expert either.
I also think someone's body has a lot to do with it.
Me? Before I became terminally ill I could just use my arms to go up the rope. I was small at 5'7 and 136 poinds so it was easier compared to someone who is say 230 pounds at 6'3.
Also that requires a ton of core strength that many people do not have...
If I needed to climb normally I would just lift my knees basically close to my chest. Then stand... I don't understand why he is kicking out his entire core... Just to catch the rope maybe?

Thank you. I've been trying to climb that rope since since 1980.
The biggest mistake most people make is climbing with their arms. We climb stairs and ladders with our legs and balance with our arms. We should climb everything else the same way.
As a previous cell tower tech I agree with you 100%. That being said, I would still have to make a conscious effort to utilize my legs most of the time when I climbed.
Arms just get all "I know what to do, don't waste any time listening to legs down there".

@@IBaitmancant climb a straight wall… any other hill face or cliff face has things u can stand on smart ass.
Of course to those who may be new to rope climbing it does look weird doing the instructions like this slow and frankly idiotic hahaha but trust me this guy knows the mechanics pretty well. Your lower body is structured to be superior in these types of situations and if the arms and use of leverage is the supporting factor
I’m guessing grip is the main thing that can tire in the upper body… but if you do the lower body movements quick enough then you only have to grip strongly for just a moment of each cycle

When I had to rope climb in the Navy, we were taught to run the rope between our legs and around our calf from inside to outside (for me my right leg), then back over top of our foot from outside to inside. Finish it off by standing on the rope on top of our foot with our non-wrapped free foot (for me my left foot). The rope would be pinched between the top of one foot and the bottom of the other foot. Lift your feet, pinch the rope, and stand straight up, keeping the weight off of your arms. Repeat.
Australian Army we were taught this as well, minus the rope wrapped around your thigh, it's an amazing technique though, you can lean against the rope and remove your hands altogether and just stand there, up a rope.
Learned the same in the Army, it's a lot more expedient and uses less core than what this guy is showing. It's also easier to go back down with this method.
Likely because you're packed with an additional 80 lbs, you won't hold yourself up with this method.
My ex Navy partner taught me this way. I showed him something more like the video and he was on his knees laugh crying while I yelled CATERPILLAR CATERPILLAR CLIMBS WHATEVER HIS CHUBBY BODY WANTS/CATERPILLLAR CATERPILLAR IS JEALOUS OF ARMS A TREX GOT/ CATERPILLAR CATERPILLAR STILL CLIMBING UPSIDE DOWN ... ON A STEM SKINNY LIKE THIS ROPE I GOT!!
It's just long enough to climb up and down from a third story window, he was drilling exits in case of emergency. I was drilling entry in case I forgot my keys 😅
That’s how I was first taught as well. I later switched to just the pinch around the foot but only if the rope climb is less than 20 feet. If you’re rope climbing higher than 25 feet, I still prefer the additional wrap around the calf.
You could’ve told me this about 30 years ago before sixth grade gym class

It’s a lot of core to bring the legs up! Don’t forget to engage your lats first for the hang, and keep your elbows straight
Always climb with your legs. Rock walls included (unless you’re at negative angles), people think it’s all arms and grip, but the power comes from the lower body.
That’s interesting! I would like to see a video explaining this 👍🏼
Legs are the seat of power in the body in general, if you use proper mechanics when you move, and to complete most tasks.
Not really tbh, as soon as you get into mediocre grades of rock climbing, grip is almost everything. Besides balance.
@@234i9 but at “mediocre levels of rock climbing”, you’re lifting your body with leg power, not your “grip”. Only extremely fit athletes can use their arms to pull themselves 20 feet vertical, even with the easiest hand holds and grips.
What I’m saying is that the average layperson or beginner looks at a wall that some guy is “spidermanning” and sees those arms and legs in the wall and those grips, and is under the delusion the guy is pulling himself up a wall, when he is actually walking up a wall with his legs, and his hands are just keeping him against the wall so he can use his legs.
@@djdoc06Youre close. While legs are pretty important in climbing your upper body is by far the more developed and proportionately stronger muscle group. Your upper body is way more important in all levels of climbing. Obviously legs play a big role but theres a reason that most of the time you can do an easier climb with just arms and not just legs.

Climbing with legs is most efficient. But climbing with just your arms and legs hanging is badass. One of my favorite memories, peak strength after years of bodybuilding.

It depends what the goal is, if you want to efficiently climb the rope, then straight arms is the way to go. If you want an upper body workout, then don’t use your legs at all.

@@tessm6616Yeah exactly! Start in a seated position either straddled or legs together and climb when ready! I thought that was a standard rope climb right? 😉
The girls in my moms gymnastics class aren’t allowed to use their feet for rope climbs they have to stay in a seated position with their legs straight and toes pointed. If their legs start to dip they have to start again. It’s all about core activation and arm strength. This would be solid if you needed to climb a rope in a life or death situation. But as an exercise this is equivalent to pull ups with a rubber band. Still effective but corner cutting all the same.
right? my 6 year old in gymnastics is almost able to climb without using her legs at all. she's freakishly strong.
this looks like a CrossFit gym 🙄. those bros are full of shortcuts, like those nonsense kipping pull-ups.
Or, this is for a different purpose. The exercise you're talking about isn't a rope climbing exercise; it's a core/arm strength exercise. If your purpose is purely to climb a rope, you'll want to use all muscles available to you.
There's more to the world than your narrow perspective.
yeah this is yoused by arborists to climb trees and with this technique they can climb all day @@ImInUrHd
@@ImInUrHd or you have never climbed anything in your life and don’t realize how much energy you consume when you isolate your muscles and only focus on driving your hips/legs upwards during a climb
@Thats0neBadHatHarry easy, bro. It's a simple fact that using multiple muscle groups to accomplish a singular task is easier than using a single, smaller muscle group. If, instead, we are talking about using that task to train different muscle groups, it's an entirely different argument. My only point here is that we're all arguing true and valid points, but for different videos.
Also, I've been at the end of more ropes than most amateur OF performers, so don't be a dick.
My dad climbed ropes in L-sit position highschool 1970. Pretty rad ngl
