I like to do easy running (zone 2 heart rate). I run for about an hour, and it doesn't feel like I'm hurting my recovery at all. I doubt that running has any tangible benefits for climbing, especially bouldering, but life just feels a lot better when you have a good foundation of cardio.
I mean better aerobic capacity does equal better recovery so I do think it's useful From a personal anecdote, if I bike 20k per day one rest day is enough for full recovery whereas when I don't I take two
Definitely. The more realistic the better😂 But jokes aside. In the book Mastermind I mentioned in the video Jerry actually explains how he visualised the whole process before a worldcup and even wore his harness and rope to practice it because he often was nervous when going out on the stage to climb.
I normally do every exercise 1 min and then 3 sets with some rest in between sets so with 8-10 different exercises it easily becomes a 1-2 hour session. I can make a video about my stretching routine👍🏼
I also changed the way I do stretching ~3 months ago. Because just doing a 10-15 min thing quickly doing various positions once didn't give any improvements really. Or super slow. After changing to really focusing on it. Spending at least one hour doing at least 3 sets of positions between 1-3 minutes in each depending on the positions. I noticed a HUGE different. I already gained a massive range in just 3 months. Fully recommend it. I personally also focused on one area per cycle. So I started with hips. Spending most of my time there. Doing 1 set on other body parts. But 3-5 sets on different hip positions. Then next cycle I switched to upper body and shoulders etc. Can recommend that too.

I actually was thinking about making a video on this topic.

Great video, keep it up!
Thanks 🙏🏼
man your videos are high quality
Thanks 🙏🏼 I try my best.
Do I need to wear shoes in a hammock to visualize properly?

1-2 h of stretching sounds a lot, can you share some details what you do in that routine?
