The big climber portion was actually extremely helpful for me, for helping a friend. It's tough to couch someone when you don't know much already but especially when they're a hundred pounds heavier and you don't want them to get discouraged
Realistically, losing weight would be the easiest, fastest, most effective thing they could do to get better at climbing after the first month or so. Obesity is insane hardmode. Climbing a V1 with a 100lb backpack is hard enough, but the extra weight fucks up their off the wall time too so it's actually much harder than that.
Thanks so much for reviewing my climbing! Those tips were super helpful and I’ll definitely be working on them! I’ll keep putting in my videos so that I can get that awesome feedback! 😂
@@HoopersBeta You prompted me to post a progress video! I've definitely come a long way from starting, and your videos have been a huge help. I honestly don't know how I missed this one till now! Thanks again!
Thank you for featuring and critiquing my climb! It's a shame that the bloc has since been taken down so I cannot incorporate what was pointed out in the video. I did not end up sending that one but it was fun working on it.
Yeah pretty cool to see the Glen here! I don't think they really diagnose the main issue, which is the location of the left foot, IMO. Flagging or using the available feet further left will help open up the hips, which will pull them in closer to the wall, automatically. Pushing with a left foot further out left will also allow the climber to pull more laterally with the heel. I haven't done this specific climb, stoked to try it soon to test my theory...
Oh wow, I thought this was just another 4 year old video I'm binge watching, but apparently it was released 4 hours ago. Thanks for the videos and I really enjoy your (silly) humor 👍 (26:40 LOL)
@28:20 is something I've never consciously thought about or heard mentioned. It's a fantastic thing to bring to the front of the mind and maybe give some extra life into shoes and toes! Thanks
Woot woot! We have no plans to eliminate this series so there should be many more in the future. We are always looking to improve though, so some changes or alternatives may pop up in the future.
Watching you talk about face pulls and particularly in the context shown in this video, do you think single arm face pulls would translate better to the strength and stability required in moves like this? It would seem to incorporate the torsional moments about the spine more accurately than the double arm face pull.
love the comments on flagging and smearing for beginners, after angels of holds and working in Opposition is the first thing I Show people who I get climbing for the first time.
Solid video. I am an absolute sloth when i climb so while it wasnt my video, i needed to hear those slow climbing jabs. Also going off that last one... check your top outs! Any bit of knowledge for where the holds and what the topo is like is probably the best thing i can do for myself outdoors.
For sure! Checking out the top out is super useful. There may be a hold that you otherwise wouldn't have found. And yeah hah I feel like many climbers could use that subtle reminder to climb a bit faster. It's certainly a useful tip :)
First time watching this type of video from you guys; awesome breakdowns to learn while drinking my coffee. Is the drawing app that you're using on iOS or Android? It's lovely.
Oh nice! Welcome to the series :) Glad you are enjoying it, and with the perfect pairing of coffee ;) - The app is called OnForm. It's available on both platforms.
@@HoopersBeta thank you! I'm also a trainer and love to see the different tools to help enhance my coaching. :) Just watching your channel in a short time has helped with not just my climbing, but also my personal lifting, so thank you for all your work!!
Hi I really like this explains climbs. Good Job and extremly helpful. But i'm french and it's difficult to understand what the doctor says... (hope that TH-cam translator helps me) For the apps on Sesame Street boulder it's a shame that the video shows the method. For me it's important to jump into the unkwown decrypt the rock. Ethel did a great effort on this pure line.
haha :) even as a non-sloth myself, I still practice climbing faster. I'm more "in the middle" (speed wise) but do find that when I feel super confident/comfortable, I actually slow down rather than speed up. Sometimes it's OK, but often it's just zapping necessary energy.
Have you ever had a video instructing falling tactics? A lot of climbers that transition from the gym to outdoors do not have the body awareness to control a fall, or at least anticipate what to do with their body in space when falling. Practicing falling appears to be a major way to prevent injuries that boulderers tend to not do. Many climbs that could be done with a single pad at just the crux end up having 3 or 4 pads on them, which erodes the base of the climb over time. Practicing falling (thoughtfully) would help prevent injuries and lessen the impact of erosion from pads. Thirdly, if you know how you are going to fall when attempting a move, and have to confidence to land on the pads, bouldering becomes less scary and you are enabled to commit to moves due to the confidence you have in your ability to fall and land on the pad safely.
@@thenayancat8802 If one pad moves around, it disturbs the area underneath. In a deciduous forest where small organisms live in the leafy matter, this can squish them and kill them. If the organisms are not there to hold the top soil in place, rain water can wash it away. Deserts have their own microbiomes under the crust of sunbaked sands that can be disturbed by pads. That is just the start of pads causing erosion. Two pads is double the surface area, so it doubles the erosion.
Suppose it's not so simple. If a single pad needs to be dragged along under the climber as they progress, versus two stationary pads, being placed once and then removed?
@Andy-fd7zh I guess we should also minimise the number of people going climbing? If you're not going to send your project today, you don't get to go to the crag!
@@Slab_Justice_Warrior Hey just out of interest, do you eat meat? Also I think you have something mixed up here. The "small organisms" that would be squished by pads aren't binding together the top soil. People walking on soil would presumably cause just as much disturbance to the "microbiome" as pads would, if not more. It sounds like you've got some weird fixation on people who use "too much" protection when climbing, maybe work on that rather than hiding it behind a fear of "erosion".
@@HoopersBeta I am poor climber but i did similar exercise (with bands) for those muscles and i felt better in the gym. Way stronger and i only did 3*10 for each arm every other day. That works. If I could do facepulls at home i would do them.
I went through a little cut phase recently and I dialed back my climbing a bit. More short, low volume max strength sessions with a lot of rest. High protein intake
I haven't weighed myself quite a while. I'm pretty sure though I'm on the heavier side, also due to creatine. I personally wouldn't bother with trying to loose weight. But if you can change some aspects of your diet, especially less unhealthy snacking, less/no alcohol, and only eat just healthy food, you'll probably loose some weight but more importantly, feel more fit.
Diet will ultimately play a bigger role, and they've already vouched for diet tracking. I started using macrofactor because of the recent over/underrated video, and been very happy with it. Other than that, building muscle will help your metabolism, which will help a bit with weight loss. But you can also throw some endurance exercises, like climbing the same boulder multiple times with little to no rest, or different boulders, whichever you prefer. If you prefer not to supplement your climbing with other sports, this should introduce a cardio component into your training, which should also contribute to weight loss. But again, I'd focus primarily on diet.
Diet is the main factor in losing weight (caloric deficit and macros). Exercise doesn't really help outside of allowing you to eat more calories and still be in a deficit.

Thanks a bunch for critiquing my climbing! The jabs were what I needed LMAO. Was just watching your lateral knee video as this came out!
the "trimming your videos" tip got me weak 💀
@@NickAlberto Hahaha the biggest pro tip
these are the absolute best videos on the internet. I learn so much
That's awesome to hear! Thank you for sharing.
These beta break-downs have been the best way for me to learn techniques.

Important to note at 20:00 is how close the heel is to the wall compared to the other person's. Having the heel farther out helps get over it.
It's always a good day when your vids come out. Love em!
Woot! Thanks for the kind words 🙏
that bullet time heel hook example was fantastic!

yas, please a video on scorpion kick would be amazing!
lol. Casual bomber headstand at 8:32
Hah true!
Ha, I've done that run and completely miss the foothold move 😆
So cool to see The Flesh Price in a video! That's my home crag and was my first v6 of the summer!
Yeah pretty cool to see the Glen here!

Jason, Jeff Cavalier "the real inventor of facepulls" is probably promoting them more than you. I'd say you are very close second 🤭❤️
Dang, I guess I'll have to step my game up then! haha. Honestly sometimes I feel like it's annoying hammering the same exercise, but if it works....
@@HoopersBeta I confirm it has worked great for me and increased my upper body stability and gained +5 in strength :) 💪🔥❤️
