Great video, concise, and I agree with all your points. I think its important to note that ego can be a great motivating force, but does come with the pitfalls you mentioned. Thanks for your content!
I’m guilty of most of these. I do try and climb with people who are way better than me for all the reasons you stated. They push me, they guide me, and they also encourage me.
@@danielpeshev9875 That's because the tendons and muscles aren't used to the stress yet, and if you do more, you get a higher risk of injury. Tendons also need longer to develop than muscles, so bear that in mind also.
how can one train 4 to 5 days a week? I don't understand. I can climb one day then it takes my forearms and grip 2 days minimum to recover. Then hangboard after recovery. Is there some secret?
Absolutely nailed it in my opinion. You turned these pitfalls around into clear advise. Keep up the great work! Another great advise I heared in another video I would like to share here: Do not say negative absolute statements to yourself. Believe in the difference between "I can not do this." and "I cannot do this, YET." The same goes for: "I am a V5 climber" and "The best I did SO FAR was a V5." Think about what you are saying to yourself and how it affects you. Choose your fighter: a) "This felt horrible, because I failed. I hate slopers. It is impossible for me to hold this sloper. I am weak. I will never be able to do what this guy can do. I don't want to fall off again in front of my friends. I need to crush a V1 to feel better. I hate myself for skipping the last training session for no good reason." b) "It was exciting to try a V7 for the first time. I can only be sure that it is too hard, if I try. It being a V7 means it is supposed to be too hard for me to get it first go. I can try to figure out one more move, which would be a success. It being a V7 means there is something to learn for me. Did I already learn something on my first try? How great would it feel to be able to do this after half a year of additional training! Last year, I did not even manage a V3, today I flashed three of them."
I totally agree with you. It's about how does your brain is programmed ! This advice can be also applied in daily life, where you try to see the positive. Thank you for sharing this advice, it's a very important one for motivation !
And alway remember: Train, sleep, recover, climb, eat, track, set goals, focus, stay balanced, send, be consistent and reflected, surround yourself with a bunch of bro's and sis's and repeat 😄👌yeah its that simple
Definitely guilty of the 'chasing the pump' mistake, thinking that because I didn't feel the forearm pump after an hour of climbing that meant I had greater endurance so I would extend my session until 2 hours. After too much of these sessions I was left with a little improvement and a whole shoulder/bicep injury. Not worth it!
Well, these are not bad tips for beginners, but would be nice if you had actually included some climbing-specific tips. 10/10 of these apply to any sport
I love these videos! Coming from powerlifting and bodybuilding I really appreciate your approach and your knowledge on muscle building, nutrition, periodization, mental aspect and so forth. Most of climbers or even climbing coaches don't have such a round knowledge on human body.
I only agree with #5 and #7, all the rest are for people who want to climb competitively. I climb to relax and have fun! Not fussed about the grade and cake after training is part of that.
It entirely depends on the workout you did that day. Light aerobic endurance like ARC can be programmed several days in a row. If you did a full blast hangboard session along with complementary exercises it could take up to 72 hours to recover. In general just feel out how your body feels.
@@TurriPi great response! You're correct. I would only add that it definitely depends on the activities you're doing. Say, for example, you go crazy with climbing 4 days. That doesn't mean you can then go swimming, do a crazy leg day, and then do a long core circuit. You're switching the exercise but your body still has to heal all of that breakdown. So most definitely, the activity you do does matter. Thanks for the comment and replying to their question!
loved the progress bar in the bottom

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I agree. With climbing you definitely need to have confidence lol, you just have to curb it in other arenas.
@@HoopersBeta 3 years later this vid is absolutely wonderful:)
Found this channel yesterday, I've been binging everything. Fantastic content

Hey there! Love the video. You mentioned how 3 or 6 days of training is less than ideal than 4 or 5. Was this on a 1 week timeline?
Yes. The research I am referring to was based on a weekly timeline.
@@HoopersBeta Is this still the case for beginners? i’ve always been told beginners should do 3 max

Different targets and different muscle groups. That's great that you know your body and can take effective breaks!
Quick question, at 2. Recovery time, is it 3 / 4-5 / 6 days... a week? Or?
Thanks! :)
Some research suggests that 4-5 days of training is ideal, with 3 days or fewer being too little and 6 days or more being too much.

The key is 6 eggs after a full climbing day.
The only way to ensure proper recovery 😅
Stir them into your chalk bag so your hands absorb the protein as you climb
@@kunstkt eat chalk for natural chalk production in fingers
Love the timeline!

Sure, the video was great, but that haircut? Stole the damn show. :)
I needed the last two so bad! Thank you.
DOC you look SUPER handsome in this video

So easy! Haha
Love the icons in the timeline :)
section 3 was way less fun than I thought it was going to be.
I was a V4 teen climber at one point
here for the #HoopersBloopers nice haircut!
Haha. Love the hashtag.
thanks for making these awesome videos and keeping them short and to the point
I appreciate you saying that! Keeping them short is definitely a challenge lol but thank you for watching.
Amen!!! It took me a couple of years of training to realize most of these and surely i am still an offender of some. Such a great video! Thank you!
Absolutely! Takes a long time to really "master" training and we always have some room for improvement (even when we know better ;) hah)
Number 11 : have fun !
I was looking for running and climbing and his video popped up. I really started liking his videos very much. Very informative.

While this video should have 10k views, people will still be looking at magnus vlog (or whatever else...) thinking that this is what they should do...
Just gotta keep trying to spread the word! Thank you for the support. We will keep grinding and eventually it will have 10k+ views 😉
this guy is more dreamy than magnus anyway
@@HoopersBeta Almost at 10k now :) :)

Do you have any more resources for diet?
Was this filmed at The Wall climbing gym in Vista, CA?
Yep!

"Cake After Training" should be on a t-shirt ;)
How much sleep should you get?
Tough question. Enough to feel rested? 🤷♂️

wow. 0 dislikes. never seen that before. bonkers. lol
For recovery time, do you mean 4-5 days per week?

no 4-5 days per year.
