Albert, it's quite late at night where I am and I have to get up early so I would say "why u doin dis to me homie?" but honestly, I couldn't be happier to see this pop up in my feed
Ily
you two guys definitely should do a collab video!
“Sometimes you have to slow down to go faster” -every piano teacher in my life
Hahaha absolutely yes. I've had so many music teachers tell me this...
if you can play it slowly
You can play it quickly
*Cough cough* twoset
the real PR was the friends made along the way:)
Bro, seeing your improvement in speed climbing has been the biggest inspirational story of 2021. When we met, you were at like 8.5 sec! So proud of you.
Totally inspired too! At this rate I have no doubt Albert can make 6 seconds in no time.
Thank you so much Miguel. Meeting people like you along the way has made it only that much better to keep pushing on
Welcome back to TH-cam, Albert! You are still at the peak athlete age, so I am pretty sure you still have a lot of room to break your own record!
Thank you so much man, I'm so excited to keep going and try my best. Miss you man. Until we climb again!
@@AlbertOkay Albert hello. Please help me.
I wasn't expecting that, this video is wonderful! It's the one I didn't know I needed, what you said was truly beautiful
I came here thinking I'd learn things that would be applicable to other forms of climbing, but ended up crying after seeing how beautifully you put deep life lessons
Bruh I was not expecting to cry when I click on this video. Another banger nonetheless.
@@AlbertOkay
Same, holy shit. I forgot it was number 4 lmao
Number 4 really hitting in all kinds of different ways, bruh.
Thank you. Really. _thank you_
Holy cow man.. right in the feels!
Sitting here, shoveling my meal in and watching you progress gave me a big boost! Can't wait for the gyms to
open this week.
Thank you!
Once it's open you're going to crush it! Good luck!
Man, your channel is too good to be this small, that shit was awesome. And then ending on lesson 5 was hilarious and unexpected. Keep up the good work with your climbing. And if ya got time, keep letting me see it.
Absolutely! I will keep training hard and keep trying to improve. Until then you as well keep crushing it!
holy crap dude. i didn’t know what to expect but i’m so freaking glad i watched the whole video. once it got to #4, i literally could not look away or stop listening. thank you for so earnestly and honestly sharing your experience. this is truly inspirational but in a beautifully raw and authentic sense of the word. love you dude
This is so beautifully done.
Whoever you are, whatever your dark times are. I hope you can allow yourself time to heal, that you remember that it's a journey and that you have people you can open up to. Take care of yourself, treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend. You are after all the person you'll definitly spend the rest of your life with. Be kind to that person. You deserve it.
And should you read this, Albert: You've been a huge motivation for me to get better at bouldering and now, finally, climbing again too. Even if you put a full stop to the whole youtube stuff, you crushed it, man. If you want to, we're all happy if you keep crushing it. If it's too much or you need a break, we understand and are happy for what you've given to this community, and I think I'm speaking for all of us here. And we'd be happy to wait till your next video goes up :)
damn, when I searched "beta break" into youtube looking for a series I used to watch so long ago I didn't think I'd stumble across this video and even when I did click it I thought I was in for a fun lighthearted video about how you spent your time learning speed climbing. This is a beautiful video that clearly has an immense amount of thought and effort put into it, thanks for spending the time to create it :)
hey Its quintin from the world cup thanks again for signing my hat and taking a picture with me keep up the awesome work
the title of the video should be different. expected a tutorial stayed for the journey. This was great storytelling!
Thank you for staying for the journey part
I am not someone who usually leaves comments on video but this one really deserves it :) . It's just beautiful! Keep doing what you love.
Thank you Nicolas
Haven't watched many videos without fast forwarding lately. Sat quietly and immersed myself in this one. Amazingly done. Thank you for sharing. Keep crushing it :)
This made me choke up. It takes courage to upload something in which you're this vulnerable, and honestly I'm so glad you did, because you have just helped me, and probably a few thousand others, so much. This video is absolutely beautiful. BTW I've been on yt for years and pretty sure this is my first ever comment apart from a reply to another comment here:)
Oh shit, what a beautiful montage! This resonated with me on so many levels. I’m still doing my PhD and I feel like once I defend my thesis, my body will just collapse into an empty husk because what’s been keeping me up was all this internal pressure. I can’t wait to breathe through and feel this all fall off my shoulders.
Wow. First off, showing your vulnerability and struggle can't have been easy. Second, as an occasionally obsessive athlete, I relate to you so hard. Third, you made an Olympic team time in a ridiculously short span, props! Keep crushing man, love your videos!
It's always good to take a step back and look at what you've achieved already. When you were trying to shave of the last seconds to go from
Nice progress! Having a sprinting background and good flexibility helps (along with knee pads). I wouldn't have recommended using the Tamoa skip until having the 10 meters dialed in, since it makes it harder to get into a rhythm, but you managed to make it work. You'll easily hit a better PR by changing your beta. You definitely can get to sub seven.
Noah! Thanks so much for the comment. I wish I had more guidance in the beginning, but I'm psyched to keep training now that I know a bit more about the process. So excited to cheer you on in person at Salt Lake!
Great video. The mix in style of video really catches you off guard but it only serves to emphasize the deeper meaning to really applying yourself to something. Also the transition to the closing was a perfect way to end it. It seems like you haven't just improved tremendously on speed climbing but also in story telling. Great job and congratulations on the 7.5.
Wowow, thank you so much for the nice comment. I'll continue to try and improve not only in climbing, but in video making in the future
This is not what I expected. You bring me so much inspiration to climb in all your videos. But this one brought my life inspiration, brought me the drive I need.
Welcome back to youtube and KEEP CRUSHING IT!!!
This was so beautiful, unexpected, powerful, and inspiring. I don't even have the words to eloquently express what this made me feel. Thank you for sharing your journey and your wisdom. I think I need to rewatch and take notes...
Wowow, thank you so much.
@@AlbertOkay Albert, this is my fiancee. I showed her the video tonight and she was crying and wishing that she knew you personally. Really really proud of you friend.
Incredible, probably your best video!
I want more now!
Thank you thank! Soon more to come. This video was hard to make, but I needed to do it so I could move on and make content that is more familiar!
Shit I was just trying to learn something about speed climbing, wasn't ready to get forcefully armored up for existential battles.
Wonderful video my man. Thanks.
This is my favorite video on indoor climbing I've ever seen and probably will see - Until you PR again. Really good content.
Will try my best to PR soon in the future!
I had never heard of you/seen any of your videos before this, but I became invested in your journey immediately! Amazing stuff on so many levels.
Holly shit man, such dedication. honestly wasn't expecting an emotional story but i love it. Keep crushing it dude!
I just climbed the speed wall for the first time today, and I got 1m12s which I thought was pretty decent. It's amazing that you were able to share your story and help others like me remember the important things in life. Keep up the great work!!
I feel so fortunate to have found your channel. I welled up watching this. The loneliness and the feeling of inadequacy you described dominated so much of my pandemic. Thank you for being so vulnerable and for sharing your journey. You have true grit! :D
You have made something special here, thank you for sharing it with us.
I just stumbled onto this and I'd say I couldn't be more excited to subscribe! Being in the same shoes w doing track in college and finding a new sport like climbing 2 years ago. Always pushing yourself to the limit. I can't even tell u how accurate this sounds on an personal level. 😊
Wow didnt even think about the journey you took to get to that moment there at the end. Glad to have been there to witness the result of all your effort!
Hey, it’s awesome in a pretty rough year you found a 7.5 and maybe in the pursuit of that you found a little peace with the entropic universe. I’m glad you make videos, this was your best yet.
Genuinely appreciated this video!
This got very philosophical
Unexpectedly probably my favourite video of yours Albert. Thank you so much for this! My power just went out and im lying down in complete darkness rn so it's been a bit of a reflective couple minutes, but this video was very inspiring and a great reminder to look around and appreciate what we all have :)
Speed climbing aside, your visual storytelling has seen so much progression. I thoroughly enjoy your series on different pros, but it's content like this that resonates on a different level.
You mentioned how long you've been working on this video recently, and it was worth the wait. Thank you for sharing this.
The last full run of your speed climb looked so smooth! Such a great inspirational video. 💕
Thank you, I'll try my best to keep improving!
So good to see you back!!!!
Hey man, I’m glad you posted this video. It took a lot of strength and courage to be this vulnerable, especially on a platform like TH-cam. I love your videos, regardless of the content. Keep crushing it.
This is the first video of yours I have seen that is truly a Work of Art, capitals well deserved.
Good luck with your speed climbing Albert. Thank you for sharing that with us.
I find that the struggles linked to intense dedication to almost any really hard goal in life have much in common - and you put it into words beautifully. Wisdom hard earned.
Way to make the most generally relatable speed climbing video ever. Very insightful about general strategies for life!
I don't really give a crap about speed climbing at all but this got me quite excited. So happy that you broke the 7.6 seconds!
Touching video Albert, hope you keep crushing!
I've been waiting for this video for so long!
Love the video Albert! You're such an inspiration to me, in regards to climbing as well as in attitude, wish you the best!
Thank you John! This one was hard for me to make so I appreciate you and others who enjoyed it
This is the reflective content that is so amazing to watch
Nice video :) I recently tried speed climbing for the first time and it is way harder than you make it look in this video - your time is an insane feat, congrats!
It really is a completely different beast than I expected it to be as well. But it really has taught me so much.
DAMMIT ALBERT I WAS GOING TO EXPRESS MY ANGER WITH YOU BUT THIS MADE ME ALL SENTIMENTAL
(-:
Heck yeah! I've been working hard and finding a way to tell my own personal narrative - something I haven't done ever.
Once you got the correct foot placement and were no longer slipping via your smears, you straight flew up that wall. Great work Albert! Making it look easy when it's anything but that.
I'll continue to keep training and hopefully get faster soon! Thank you thank you!
All I wanted was to learn a little about speed climbing to get better, now I’m actually doing better in life just hearing those words of enlightenment.
Legit one of my favorite climbing videos. Thanks man
You’re an absolute crusher. Keep it up, everyone watching is getting better at climbing and so many other things because of you.
You know, even now I still don't really like speed climbing.
But I like this video. Keep crushing.
Man, you're making me tear up. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ The past few months I've been struggling to make any real kind of progress in my climbing. At the end of last year i was at my peak, feeling strong, and climbing things that were increasingly harder. Then life got busy, i lost a lot of strength and now I've been set back quite a few steps. And these things happen, but i was so caught up in pushing my limits that i somehow distorted what climbing meant to me. I've had to redefine what progress means to me, and what makes me proud of myself when climbing. Right now, patience is needed. But I'm not giving up. That much, i refuse. The mountain is big, but I'll continue to climb it. Literally and figuratively, i guess!
Hey Jordan, thanks for sharing a bit of your story with me and everyone else. Climbing is hard, life is even more difficult. The fact that you can find ways to overcome both is really something special. Good luck in the future :-)
As someone whose favourite discipline is speed you have no idea how much this means for someone to just acknowledge the same struggle. Keep crushing Albert.
Dude, you gave me so much inspiration, I sit here crying. Having a tough time right know, since I maybe have to stop climbing for good at age 25, because of tendon-issues. I only do it as a hobby, but it means so much to me. This video was exactly what I needed to not give up on myself.
Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
What a legend! You're an inspiration. Keep crushing it my man!
god dammit albert, I just wanted a nice relaxing informative video to watch while having dinner. I did not want to cry and curl up in bed lol
really love how you sometimes talk about important things in life, not just climbing or any sport itself.
sometimes we get lost and lose our essence. then we have to slow down indeed.
love you channel! cheers from a recent subscriber!
I never thought I would get so much imparted life wisdom from a climbing video but it's incredible to hear everything from your perspective and what you were going through when you started this journey. I think everyone can relate to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt and how fleeting life is and hearing you describe all of this through the lens of achieving this goal is very calming. Thank you for sharing and I truly think you make very high quality content.
wonderful video! I started climbing in December and binged all of your videos before realizing you hadn’t posted in a while! great to see you back!
My new fav video from you!
You’re 150+ hours into becoming a master Speeder! Only 9850- hours to go! 💪
This video made a change in my life. I dont know how to thank you more!
Thank you for that video, that was a roller-coaster of emotions and one of the best motivational videos
Good to see how you come back stronger. Please keep crushing.
And analyse videos until 2am 😂
Pretty sure that there will viewers like us supporting you 24-7 all around the world
Thank you so much Joshua. I'll try my best!
Love the more personal content, keep it up!
Thank you for enjoying this side of my content. Means a lot to me :-)
Awesome vid!
Love the video and I'm happy for you dude!
Just found this video and so surprised you're a tricker! Lot of us trickers are getting into climbing haha. Keep it up!!!!
Great video, I think I might try speed for the first time now!
Yes! If you have a wall that you're allowed to go for it!
Yeees I hoped you would make a video about speedclimbing! And on the day my gym opens back up again after 5 months!
When I clicked on this, I didn't expect to be so motivated to work hard, while having an existential crisis. What an amazingly beautiful video this was. Keep crushing it.
Whenever I think about those words about how this might be the last time you ever pr it makes me want to defy the odds and train even harder. It doesn’t sit quite right with me, because even though there’s a chance that tomorrow might be the last chance, Im still gonna go down fighting so I know that I gave everything that I got, and even then, I’m gonna keep on crushing it.
Heck yes, whatever you need to do keep going and interpret the way time affects us you should go for it! Crush it!
Damn bb.... You got me in the feels. Speed sesh tonight in honor of this video. :')
Getting to 7.65 so quickly is amazing i neber trained it constantly but a few weeks each year before comps only gott to 8:67 and that was with competition adrenaline helping
Thank you so much for this video. Everything we do is finite but that's why it's beautiful.
Thank you thank you thank you.
I don't know you. You don't know me. Maybe, somehow in the future we will meet, maybe we won't. But you have impacted me none the less. Thank you, Albert. I needed this.
Felt this. So many real personal and difficult things happening to people in these times. Keep crushing.
What a Nice ending haha ! You’re crushin it man, and thank you for sharing this with us :)
number 4 hit hard, hope your doing okay!crazy progression tho congrats!!
Thanks for the video man!
Miss you man, hope everything is going well for you!
Great and inspiring video! It was really cool to watch. Awesome! 🦾🔥
It's nice to see you peel back the layers and come out with a healthy outlook at the end. We're just some nobodies trying to be somebody. You're somebody inspirational Albert!
Great video, continue like that!!
Wow, tricker spotted! Your style looks pretty pure and steady! :)
Damn, this one hits different
Thank you for taking the time to write and produce this piece. It means a lot, and it's motivational. You spoke about the mind and made clear that the condition I find myself in is not a solitary experience, however much it feels that way. We are all feel it inside, sadness and secret self pity. We feel it during some seasons to a debilitating degree. We sit in solitude, desiring connection, but feeling trapped. One of the great tools for understanding ourselves and living through these times is the ability to express this most private shame. Deep expression will reminds someone that they are not alone. If, given some chance, each person takes the time to say this, then together we will all remember that this is the universal human condition and it has not damned us yet. We are not alone.
Incredible work, Albert.
Saw you at momentum late April, was super impressive to see you doing the skip and getting ~8 seconds, my friends and I say hi and thought you did great!
Thank you so much for the comment! I know sometimes when I'm in the zone I'm hard to approach, but if I'm sitting down please say hi!
@@AlbertOkay We debated it but were actually unsure about if it was you and were off doing rope climbs! Only found out it was you after a staff member mentioned you coming in doing speed! But will for sure say whats up if see you!
Good job bro! Inspiring. Its good to hear open talk about the struggles we face. Even when we appear to have it all together.
Maaan, that was amazing!!!
Thank you for everything, your work here it's greatly appreciated!
Greetings from Italy!
Thank you so much for this comment. I will continue to keep working on hard in the future!
Love your videos Albert! Continue like that and never give up! You are a big inspiration for me
