It is really amazing to see that arguably the strongest climber in the world right now, is a brainchild of this Lattice method that we have seen develop over the years. Talent, luck, and hard work are essential, but seeing the scientific approach to training bear fruit like this is a beautiful thing to watch.
I mean, if we are scientific, one athlete (or two) is not really representative. Could say without Lattice they would be even stronger climbers, who knows? Some of the top athletes have coaches less known, or with very different approaches, and it still works out. (Nico Januel for the french team / Mejdi and Oriane, Roman Krajnik for Janja for a few examples). That said, I am definitely looking forward the future of Lattice.
@@jean-yvesyang5827 We will never see statistical significance at the highest levels, because the pool is simply too small. I also think comp climbing is an entirely different discussion, because there are a lot more variables that go into it. At the end of the day, we will never know, but it is at the very least remarkable that one of the absolute top climbers in the world has come from this lattice experiment.
I havent' realized this till now... Really puts a lot of perspective on what Lattice are doing for athletes on the very top end of the performance spectrum.
I follow climbing like my shadow follows me and I feel like Will came out of nowhere. I remember seeing him in videos but didn’t get the idea that he’s was elite. He so mega strong and seems like a cool dude. Can’t wait to see him send some V18/19
I touched that board, and it's impressive how bad most of those holds are... That, including trying Burden of Dreams replica really puts into perspective how striking Will's abilities are. Super interesting progression video!
How bad are most of the holds? Like what mm crimp would you equate them to and are they incut, flat, or what? I always thought they were jugs lmfao. Guess i didn’t look that into it

Hah, amazing seeing the training area from my local gym in here! Will set some boulders on the spray wall too, though most are a handful or two of grades above me
Just wondering for max hangs, how do you need to progress when you are at that level, ie if he is hanging 7.5kg 1 arm then is he looking for that to increase over time, if so how long? Or is it about maintaining or simply just doing some reps? Would be good to see some data of what measures WB has improved over what timeframes and how this coincided with sending certain projects. I ask this because my max hang measures (10 s half crimp on Lattice 20mm) have dropped off (slightly frustratingly) but I am probably climbing slightly better than 6 months ago.
Tom mentions Olympic weightlifting, but the clips show Will deadlifting (which is not an Olympic lift) ...the Olympic lifts consist of the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk.
@@AMM1998 They're completely different sports...it's like saying someone went ice climbing, when they were actually bouldering at a World Cup And also two completely different training stimuli.
@@j_mo9030 are you implying that Tom doesn't know the difference between power lifting and Olympic lifting? Was it really necessary to point that out? Also, Justin is a goofy name
@@AMM1998 I’m implying that some strength exercises may be more applicable than others, and if you were a pro trainer wouldn’t you want to know the different exercises to maximize your client’s potential?
This to me, is proof that you dont need to be some genetic and gifted wonderchild like adam ondra, whos doing 9A's at like 14. Though im not really comparing them, its great to see that someone who is somewhat average according to Tom, being able to become one of the strongest climbers via sheer trial and effort.
What were the 4 exercises Will used for building all-around muscle mass? I am struggling with both that and finger strength, but can't pin point a small amount of exercises to build all-around strength.
I don't know what Will did. But at a guess, large compound movements. Probably something like Deadlifts, Weighted Pull Ups, Bench Press, Weighted Dips.
depends how specific you want it to be. you wanna just get stronger, do more exercise. anything that isnt cardio. You want a dad bod. Pick up heavy object and carry them around. You want stronger upper body and core, lots of weighted pullups, assisted one arm pullups, even pullups with your feet/body parallel to the ground.
I agree with what declansdynos said, and whatever lifts you choose, try to stick with them for at least a few weeks before switching or trying new ones, so you can really assess if they are working or not. Also Lattice has a few vids about making your own training program.
I would go squat, deadlift, inverted rows, and overhead press. I assume most climbers are doing some sort of pullup (vertical pull) and pushup (horizontal push) training so the inverted rows (horizontal pull) and overhead press (vertical push) give the most bang for the buck and help to keep you balanced. Keep the intensity high (80-95% of max), reps and sets low (3-5), 1-2x/week (don't overdo training like this, less is more when it comes to this).
As a climber, I agree with the value that the commentator above noted when mentioning L-sit pull ups/chin ups. These have helped me build control under tension in such a similar way to climbing.

@@Leble727 Exactly my point. What we can measure however is the progress of an individual.
Tom's project: Will Bosi
Ollie's project: Aiden Roberts
Something interesting is happening at lattice...

its insane that he is in big leagues in outdoor lead as well. Imagine sending silence. He has a supposed 9B+ already

Nice try. I am still convinced he is a gecko. A nice gecko.
I'm mean, where is the proof he is NOT a gecko, huh!
Waiting for a car insurance sponsorship
A Nice and STRONG Gecko
Coming from a different sporting background and just starting bouldering more seriously, this is great to hear. Lots of great info.
What a legend. Keen on some board sessions with will and Aidan!
amazing, thanks for the video!
Super interesting!

I like this, What other students have you had and what sort of results have they achieved with lattice?
Everytime I see a Lattice HQ video I think:
1. They must be great coaches
2. Please buy a heater for these skinny climbers in their jackets :D
We need to get our climbers box jumping.
Hah, amazing seeing the training area from my local gym in here! Will set some boulders on the spray wall too, though most are a handful or two of grades above me
I can imagine Will's boulders are quite hard!
Great Vid...
I should really just commit and pay for an assessment...

Have you had any rest periods?
Is it ok to do the fingerboard training before every session?
There it is folks. Finger strength. Technique will only get you so far. Bring on the comments :-)

Yeah nice try selling the program. We can all see it’s obviously the beard. Shave it and watch the gains go.
