Any tips? I was at the fair doing on of the rigged ones but I’ve never don’t rockclimbing so I did it and I got halfway up and nothing was hurting and I had sore muscles that day from sports but basically they flipped the rocks so you wouldn’t have grip at all how would I grip onto that? I just gave up though because I’ve never fell from a harness so I was scared to slip but I just let go
While I agree with 2 (keep hips in) for a big power move pushing up the wall, it works better to bring your hips out, then when you push up, the curve of your hips moves towards the wall and not away 👍
@@roapcoaching917 Yeah for sure! Just as a novice I wanted to make that point because I felt it was something quite important to the tip. Other novices might hinder themselves trying to keep hips in always.
maybe add "basic tip" but also hanging without using your muscles can be very damaging for tendon and ligament if u do it often and on non-resting spot
I guess you should be slightly curved in your elbows a trying to have wings locked as well, so it makes your shoulders more stable. But in the same time minimazing the preassure on your forearm, bicep etc.
What brand shoes do you have on? I wear barefoot shoes most of the time so I find the pointed toe of moat climbing shoes to be very uncomfortable. Your shoes are blunter with a wider toe box though. What brabd are they?
Great question. Mobility. Start training more resistance (weights) through full range of motion. Frog stretches, sumo squats, Cossack squats are all great. And…get in lots of practice!
I find myself limited to my grip strength and finger muscles. A lifetime of atrophied muscles has really hampered my progress. Even if I do these techniques correctly, I can feel my fingers giving out, so I use my biceps to compensate and end up making a diamond shape with my arms on overhang walls. Of course I wear out my arms quickly and fall off or give up. I'm much better on slab walls where I can use balance to get me up the wall.
Videos coming very soon on movement technique and drill work to help maximize your climbing. But if you've analyzed that your fingers are weak, make sure that you work on these 2-3 x a week to help. Be progressive, but address this weakness.
Your center of gravity is away from the wall, so more weight through your arms and fingers (weakest points) and you will burn unnecessary energy - even on easier climbs.
Keep trying. Focus on pushing and feeling through your toes. The more pressure you can apply through your toes the easier it becomes. If you drop your heels too much, your bum will fall away more easily.
If you notice, I will place with a low heel and then when driving, these will lift. Typically, your flagging/supporting leg will have a lower heel as it is pushing on a straighter leg.
Yes it is to answer your question but this wall is at a steep angle. You must pull through your hands until your heels aren't low anymore and at the same time bring your hips in as she said hth :)
@@brianrivera9237 Ty! :) I usually stand on my toes right away even on walls like this but maybe that's a difference in style or maybe I'm doing it wrong. Can't wait to try this method next time at the gym!
your left foot rotated when moving up. Shouldn't foot placement be in the position you intend to want it to be when pushing up the rock to reach the next hold. Second tip needs to be introduced with "when the rock is overhanging " because on a slab if my hips are in it will reduce my shoes contact patch and my feet will peel off the rock.
Foot rotation happens after placement. Placement needs to be precise, but allow for pivoting. See our video on pressure and pivoting. You drive from a position of power and need to harness that power getting hips as close to the wall. With slabs, yes, you need neutral hips and more ankle flexion
Bit of both. Elite climbers put their bodies through a lot of hard training - which obviously helps develop muscles. But also, her genes and mesomorph body-type means she puts on muscles easily.
tip number 4: be as strong as Alex Puccio
;)
Just use more technique if you're not strong enough.
Tip 5 be a total beast
Tip 4: immerse yourself in bouldering. Tip 5: see tip 4.
8climbing - this certainly helps
Tip 4: be insanely jacked
Climbing is a good workout
She's a legend! Thanks for the tips.
Happy to help!
I’m about to start rock climbing so I can take my upper body to the next level 🔥
It will genuinely happen if you climb a few times a week!
These 3 tips are exact same (and only) tips I got when I started climbing.
Good tips!!
More tips please Alex! I m thinking of getting into this. X
More tips coming soon. We've just been ill, so focusing on recovery, but more coming your way very soon.
Awesome tips, thank you girl! Love your shape 💪💪
🙏 thank you 🙏 😊
Thank you, Alex!😊
My pleasure
Great tips I wish I knew when I started. The hips thing was huge
Thanks Stephen! We can always revisit these too as when we get stronger, we also revert back a little too.
@@roapcoaching917 that’s for sure. I’m fighting my old habits right now
And there's me: "where the heck I'm supposed to put my feet on this thing"
Watch out video on precision and accuracy
Simple, straight to the point
Thank you
Great, that’s what we wanted, thank you

I.e. the holds were pointing upside down? These are called underclings and require higher feet so your arms are straight down.
Tip 1, grow those guns
Great!
Thank you Pietro!
Her arms are amazing
Thank you
Body goals. 😮
Thanks
While I agree with 2 (keep hips in) for a big power move pushing up the wall, it works better to bring your hips out, then when you push up, the curve of your hips moves towards the wall and not away 👍
For sure, but also with most moves. People rely far too much on their arms. Let’s and hips should be involved with almost every move.
@@roapcoaching917 Yeah for sure! Just as a novice I wanted to make that point because I felt it was something quite important to the tip. Other novices might hinder themselves trying to keep hips in always.

For old dudes like me, tip 3 has the added benefit of not making the elbows feel like they’re exploding after a climb.
So crucial! Those elbows are sensitive little things! Thanks for watching
What brand shoes do you have on? I wear barefoot shoes most of the time so I find the pointed toe of moat climbing shoes to be very uncomfortable. Your shoes are blunter with a wider toe box though. What brabd are they?
Theee are Scarpa VSRs. Still have a point, but more symmetrical
I'm surprised. That's similar fighting or martial art advice. Especially when they talk about structure. Climbing will by next challenge. Thanks!
Yes!! My husband did martial arts for 15 years before climbing! Definitely try it! Thanks for watching
I find it hard to keep hips as close to wall as possible yet also climbing with straight arms. Do you advice?

what's the difference if you dont put your hips close and climbing with bent arms
Your center of gravity is away from the wall, so more weight through your arms and fingers (weakest points) and you will burn unnecessary energy - even on easier climbs.
She has amazing arms
Great tips for beginners. How about three tips for experienced climbers.
Great suggestion!
Power to the gooch!
Pooch
We need pro tips, for v14 fingers please.
They’re coming soon! She’s got some of the strongest fingers in the game
Tip 4: get bigger biceps
Haha
Keeping my hips close to the wall has been a huge struggle for me . I don’t even know why 😭I just start hanging all over and drop
Keep trying. Focus on pushing and feeling through your toes. The more pressure you can apply through your toes the easier it becomes. If you drop your heels too much, your bum will fall away more easily.
@@roapcoaching917 that’s actually super helpful! Going later and I’ll try that ! :) I also start a class next week so I’m sure that will helps tons !
Good luck and keep us posted
Bruh she's buffed af.
Climbing is a good workout
@@roapcoaching917 hell yeah! Love it too. Keep grinding
Hi, I noticed your heel was kind of low relative to the toes. Isn't it easier to keep hips closer to the wall if you're heels are high?
If you notice, I will place with a low heel and then when driving, these will lift. Typically, your flagging/supporting leg will have a lower heel as it is pushing on a straighter leg.
Yes it is to answer your question but this wall is at a steep angle. You must pull through your hands until your heels aren't low anymore and at the same time bring your hips in as she said hth :)

...are you really giving tips to Puccio?
Go tell LeBron how to play too.
Man, her upper body development is crazy. Reminiscent of the top Crossfitters
Thank you!!!
Tip 4: listen to tip 1,2,3 and keep practicing 🎉
Haha!! Yes!!!
lady could take flight with those lats
Flying squirrel
2 diffrent shoes?
I have a little bursitis on one of my heels, so a slightly larger shoe right now
Those arms and delts😍😍
Haha! Thanks
Song?
An artist song called beautiful catastrophe by I hear trap in my nightmares
Grip strength must be wicked
Alex has one of the strongest!
Tip 4get huge forarms
Hahaha
Lats for dayz
she is jacked
Mommy? Sorry, mommy? Sorry, mommy?

your left foot rotated when moving up. Shouldn't foot placement be in the position you intend to want it to be when pushing up the rock to reach the next hold.

Tip #1 get arms like me
Haha, they help a bit
Tip4: watch ROAP videos
Ahhh, thank you! We appreciate it (you)!
Impressive physique
Thank you
I feel like that stoner dude from Wayne's World after watching Garth Algar perform a ridiculous drum solo.
😂
Her forearms, calves and lats 👀
Woah, she is so buff. Is that standard for ladies or is it her genes?
Bit of both. Elite climbers put their bodies through a lot of hard training - which obviously helps develop muscles. But also, her genes and mesomorph body-type means she puts on muscles easily.
Difficult making new climbers understand climb on extended arms. Takes a session or two for it to make sense to most of them...
Or more! Complex subject which we’ll be filming soon
She has better shoulders then me
Haha, she gets that a lot!!!
Tip 4 get extremely jacked.
Hard work and the benefits of being a mesomorph with good genetics :)
@SheepyNubs just because she has more muscle than you doesn't mean she takes PEDs
@SheepyNubs Im 14 and just started calisthenics and rock climbing. She looks natural and there is no reason for Anabolics in that sport...
@SheepyNubs bro what the hell are u saying u dont even have proof of that.
And also do you do rock climbing??
@@plumbirb8444 I know it takes years to get good at calisthenics and rock climbing
Abby?
Alex Puccio
jojo refference lol
Lol
Tip 5: be insanely hot
😌
Tip number 4: don’t be fat
Haha, it helps
Gotta love g1!
Great gym!
