Thanks Christopher, Yes, I do this kind of stuff, are you interested in a meal plan only or a whole training regimen? Hit me up on plantbasedclimbing@gmail.com
Nice video! I've heard some people say that hangboard training (and campus also) is not very useful for beginner/intermediate level rock climbers like myself. I feel like I've hit a plateau the past half year or so and not made very much progress. The hardest boulder I've done is 5+, and top-rope 5c(+), in French grade. I find this quite weird, because most advanced guys at the gym say the grading system for bouldering and free climbing are not linear, bouldering is supposed to be more difficult for an equal number in that range. Should I just go to the gym more often? (now we usually, not always, go once a week..). What are your thoughts on this? What would be your one magic tip to improve the skill for a noob to enter the level 6 zone? :-)
+pdude1911 Hehe good question. What I can tell you right away is that climbers have to fight through plateaus all the time, I know that problem. At your level I would suggest to just hit the gym a little bit more often, maybe two times a week consistently, this will already help a lot. Another thing would be: get creative. I dot know how well your gym is equipped, but if you have access to a semi steep wall (roughly 20° overhanging) with a lot of holds, build your own boulders! Just don't be afraid of trying new things, because there are so many factors influencing climbing performance. Hope that helps :)
Thank you, for this and all of your videos: They have been of great avail to my person. One quick question: how frequently do you think one should do hangboard sessions? I've heard that only once or twice a week, especially for 'softies'' such as myself to permit adequate recovery time. What are your thoughts? Again, many thanks! (Danke Vielmals!)
I'm glad to hear the content is appreciated! Definitely not more than two times a week if you are a "softie". It has more to do with knowing what your body can handle and stuff. If you start out, you don't know. If you're doing this for 10 years, you know ok my body can take x sessions a week. For getting used to your device 2 times a week is enough. Also, no one handed hanging. try to get at least 2 rest days in between sessions. (hoffe das hilft! :)
Hi, i love your videos! I've watched almost everyone of them, so keep up your good work! Very inspirational! I just want to ask you something: it looks like you hang with straight arms (albues), or am i wrong? I dont know if its the case, but i have heard that thats a no-no because it stresses the albues, and it is going to lead to injury eventually. Do you use to slightly bend you albues while hangboarding? Maybe you do it in this video, and im just blind.. And im guessing a hard bouldering session the day after a hangboard session is not the smartest thing to do? (im a hangboard-beginner)
You're right, ideally one's arms should always be a little bit bent, it's also better for shoulders. If you are a beginner, you should probably conduct the hangboard session before your rest day. Once you get more confident about what your body can handle, you can start experimenting with other alternatives.
Yes, you should use a smaller rung/hold. Aim for a size that you can hang on for about 10 seconds. Once you get stronger on that rung, choose the next smaller one :)
Was für eine Haltezeit kannst du empfehlen also soll ich eine größere Leiste nehmen wo ich vielleicht 20 Sekunden hängen kann oder eher eine kleinere an welcher ich nur 5 Sekunden packe ? Und danke für das Video :D
Anfangs würde ich eine Leiste nehmen die ich 10-15 Sekunden lang beidhändig halten kann. Man steigert sich für gewöhnlich recht schnell. Bei etwa 40 Sekunden kann man Zusatzgewicht oder eine kleinere Leiste probieren.
In another video you mentioned that hangboard is not a good option for beginners, taking in consideration someone that climbs for a year. (th-cam.com/video/2jfVUhPaIMY/w-d-xo.html) Is there a contradiction?
No that's not what he means. He's not talking about climbing beginners but hangboard beginners. I mean even if you are climbing 7b you can still be a hangboard beginner.
This channel is awesome
haha, durianrider in the background at the start. classic :P
is it passive or active hang? do you activate your back?
Hey Mani, love your videos! I'd definitely be interested in a meal plan (think I saw you mention it on other videos). Obviously I'd pay you for it!

Mani the Monkey sent you an email dude!

I feel my hands hurting just watching that, haha. Did you build that yourself? :)
+vivaLucci Yes I did, there are plenty of hangboards out there to buy but I wanted to try if I could build one and it worked :)
Hey Mani, thanks for your videos :) very good stuff! how did you build the structure for the hangboard?

Danke, Daumen hoch. Mag dein Channel sehr
whats better to start with a hang Board or a campus Board?
I woud say the hangboard, simply because it is less likely to cause injury (if used in beginner mode, with beginner training).
What's a too long max hold? Should I move to a smaller hold on the 4 finger if I can hold for 30 secs?
Yes, you should use a smaller rung/hold. Aim for a size that you can hang on for about 10 seconds. Once you get stronger on that rung, choose the next smaller one :)
Wie oft in der Woche sollte man solch ein Training machen? Jeden Tag oder jeden 2. Tag oder ganz anders? Vielen Dank für deinen Content!

Vegan Rockclimbing Danke für die schnelle Antwort :)
thank you
Is that softie
Hug from Rio - Brasil.
Hugging you back Sergio!
I heard Conor McGregor at the beginning lol. Are you a fan?
Ha ha, it looks very hard for softies man
"Nate Diaz smashed Connor" LOL! Connor got him back. Who do you think will win the third fight?
Is it normal? After hanging my fingers hurt like shit for 2 to 5 sec and then its ok again?
Yes that's very normal, don't worry :)
I am 10
