a handstand video from the master would be amazing. I‘m struggeling kepping the motivation up for it and I think this would be the perfect boost to do it.
Yesterday I failed on a comp because one of the boulder problems had a mantle in the crux, and I realised that my triceps are very underdeveloped and weak compared to the rest of my body. And now Alex uploads this video... 😂 Thanks a lot Alex! 😊
At the moment I'm doing this for balance and a good athletic. mobilisation (bridge, splits, hip flexors, handstand etc.) 5 min run, medium speed (I only use free weights and the cable pulley) 4 sets 3-4 repetitions 95% of the 1RM upper body push: exercise pull: exercise lower body push: " pull: " abs: " shoulder external rotation two different exercises arm stretch finish
Trying to progress my handstand for 6 months now. really hard to get over the 5-10 second free hold for me. Don't seem to make much progress right now. Would absolutly appreciate a full video on it. Thanks for the content, you guys absolutly slap.
I would say with pushups that correct form is very important. It is easy to cheat the pushup and do what feels easy. Many reps of what feels easy builds bad habits of motion and can set you up for injury. 20 pushups consecutively for most people will require this suboptimal form. There is so much nuance to the pushup!
to complete the traditional push ups personally I prefer push down an elastic band which is hanged above head, in gyms they have the vertical pulley with weight which is similar. Also planks or standing on straight arms on a table with minimum weight on feet
great video! and since you asked: I would love to see a Handstand video. Especially, I am curious about the morning routine you mentioned. Also, you mentioned winter training a few times. I would also be interested in how you do training periodization, with comp season and climbing on rock (since you do that in the winter also).
Tolles Video, aber hier eine kleine Korrektur: wenn ihr das Training mit der Stange macht und das Gewicht über den Kopf hebt, so ist das eine konzentrische Muskelanspannung für den Schulter- und Oberarmbereich. Wenn dann daraufhin das (freie!) Gewicht wieder abgesenkt wird, also gegen die Schwerkraft arbeitet, so ist das eine hauptsächlich exzentrische Muskelspannung der gleichen Muskelgruppe. Es ist trainingswissenschaftlich streng genommen nicht mit einer Kletterbewegung vergleichbar, denn da seid ihr im geschlossenen System und genau die antagonistische Muskulatur arbeitet. Bei dem einen ist es hoch drücken und bei dem Anderen hoch ziehen. Die Handstandtips sind spitze und das Dip-Training auch. Sportliche Grüße und weiter so!
Uiii, der erste Absatz ist korrekt, der zweite sehr flach gesehen. Zum einen da auch bei Zugebewegungen wie einem Klimmzug der hintere Deltoid und je nach Griffbreite und Form auch der Trizeps arbeiten, zum anderen weil Klettern auf die Zugbewegung zu reduzieren dem Breiten spektrum an Bewegungsformen nicht gerecht wird. Ein Gaston ist ein gutes Beispiel von einem Move, der nicht direkt wie ein Stütz aussehen muss, aber mehr den Trizeps als die Armbeuger beansprucht
Thanks for making this video for upper body workout! It's great! My least favorite exercise is doing push-ups with resistance band. Look forward to more such videos!
I think this calls for a collab with with markus rühl, magnos mittenbö does a lot of that stuff, there is a lot of yield in germany as well your content's content and frequency is a real bereicherung!
Please some tips for standing on hands walking. Stability training. I can do few push-ups up side down, while legs slightly touching a wall, but cannot hold the stability without the wall. Thank you! Have fun! ❤
Schon wieder die totalen Kopfschmerzen, aber meine Lieblings 13 jährigen auf TH-cam gehen immer😂 Immer wieder geil, euch zu zu sehen, eigentlich müsste irgendwer mal ein "best of" von euch machen😂
Very interesting topic and very well explained. Thanks a lot. One question though: When doing push ups i feel a bit too much pressure on the shoulders if i put my ellbows to narrow next to my upper body like Alex showed it. For me it's more gentle if i go with my ellbows more outside of my upper body, so that my upper arm builds a say 45° angle. Does that make sense to you and would you recommend that?
Do you do leg workouts? I've been climbing nearly a year and doing two full body workouts a week for last 3 months, ive found the leg excersises really helpful on highsteps, and I think calf raises have really helped on slabs. Would love to know what a pros leg workout is like?
15:24 -> I struggle with shoulder mobility and therefore hesitate from doing banana-handstands (with an arched back to compensate). Would you say can train from handstands with a bad form to better mobility and a good form with mostly doing handstands?
Just hearing Alex talk, I am curious whether he has been strongly influenced by Wolfgang Guellich’s “Sportklettern heute”, a book I devoured in the 80s when starting to train specifically for climbing.
Might be a translation issue but to be clear, both a barbell and dumbbells are ‘free weights’. I would also nominate Two-Bench Triceps Pushups as a fantastic triceps movement. Thanks for the vid! 🙏🏾💪🏾
Pushing is so underrated for climbers! Most active climbers have solid backs and some biceps at a low body fat percentage. If they just did some pushing exercises like this, they'd have very impressive physiques! Lots of climbers I see are missing this potential
triceps in thumbnail, triceps in intro , proceeds to show many exercises targeting fe deltoids over the triceps. Its not a big thing and I havent watched the full vid yet. But i kinda dislike that with their training focused stuff sometimes, especially when its easy to fix like here: just say pushing for climbing and you are completly fine. Or just disclaim from the start that youre not aiming for perfectly correct training describtion and exercise explonation (maybe they will do that further into the vid but imo this gotta be at the beginning, cristal clear). Just writing something vague in the describtion box doesnt do the trick either. But as long as they dont show and give super dumb or dangerous advice everythings cool in general. Nothing wrong about slightly incorrect, incomplete or inefficient training advice as thats not what these videos are aiming to or even can be. But again, they could say that right away.
We are completely free to show super dumb exercises too if we feel like it. The thing though is, there are no dumb exercises. There are only dumb people doing them 😂 Our training focused stuff is practical advise based on experience. Only science and terminology won't make you any stronger, training though will 😉
If we need an extra 1 meter rope, can we use the disposed 99m rope to cut another 1 meter or is it better to get a new 100m rope instead? Magnus collab boys, what's taking you so long! ;P
While it’s great that you guys are interested in such topics, and you should keep exploring this area, you simply do not understand the kinesiology of the triceps and the glenhumeral joint well enough to make training prescriptions for climbers.
We are not giving any training prescriptions. We are showing what we do for our own training and giving practical tips for training. It's up to you to follow it or let it be.

A handstand video will come for sure! 😍
YES
It's hilarious how your videos somehow seem completely haphazard and professional at the same time :D
Yesterday I failed on a comp because one of the boulder problems had a mantle in the crux, and I realised that my triceps are very underdeveloped and weak compared to the rest of my body. And now Alex uploads this video... 😂
Thanks a lot Alex! 😊
Something to work on 💪🏼😍
what we want to see is your chest workout.
they just told you atleast 20 push ups. but in my opinion you better train heavy with bench 3 to 5 reps so you grow less muscle.
My chest workout is genetics (and 100 push ups) 😉
Oh sure, id believe that like id believe one punch man became a superhero by doing a 100 pushups hehe@@alexandermegosAM
@@guustvanuden2968
alex’s sugggestted rep range and stating is max rep pushuphas nothing to do with his actual chest workout routine….
@@Jacob0481 Hes right. High reps will grow mass more than low reps high weight. The goal for climbing is to gain strength (low reps) and NOT mass.
7:37 thx for showing it again, nearly forgot it right away. ;)
The video changed, I didn't know that could happen. 🤔16 hours ago Alex was humping the ground again at 7:37, now he is talking about parallettes.
At the moment I'm doing this for balance and a good athletic.
mobilisation (bridge, splits, hip flexors, handstand etc.)
5 min run, medium speed
(I only use free weights and the cable pulley)
4 sets 3-4 repetitions
95% of the 1RM
upper body
push: exercise
pull: exercise
lower body
push: "
pull: "
abs: "
shoulder external rotation
two different exercises
arm stretch
finish
never change or cut these more professional, they are hilarious and informative at the same time!

You can find all sorts of star collabs and fancy vids (which I enjoy!), but you two guys are my favourite)

Many reps of what feels easy builds bad habits of motion and can set you up for injury. 20 pushups consecutively for most people will require this suboptimal form.

Wow. This is literally perfect timing, dude. Thank you.
to complete the traditional push ups personally I prefer push down an elastic band which is hanged above head, in gyms they have the vertical pulley with weight which is similar. Also planks or standing on straight arms on a table with minimum weight on feet
Could we get a full training schedule breakdown video anytime soon??
If I need to replace my 1m Petzl rope, can I reuse some of the discarded 99m, or would you recommend buying another 100m rope just to be safe?
Safety third. Can't risk taking the other 99m. We always go for 100
Thanks guys, loved it as always!
Of course a handstand video would be amazing ! 💪
My climbing improved so much when I started doing dips
great video! and since you asked: I would love to see a Handstand video. Especially, I am curious about the morning routine you mentioned.
Also, you mentioned winter training a few times. I would also be interested in how you do training periodization, with comp season and climbing on rock (since you do that in the winter also).
other great video thanks Alex & Chris, you really are both top athletes and thats why you are top climbers

amazing weighted handstand at 13:54
Now I know what I did wrong! I went to university.
"Obviously the more you push with your leg, the easier it gets". Wise words😊

Triceps are especially useful for mantling; I see many strong climbers struggle because they never work their triceps.
I'd argue strong climber usually have the strength for mantling. Often flexibility in wrist, shoulders, hips is the bigger issue.
@@Thuky1 yes for Adam ondra mantle style, on only one hold in slab wall, but betwin 2 far holds it's fully physical ...
geil, Handstand Video bitte auch noch!
Yes, handstand video please!
Its one world. ❤
great video!
The best moment of the video its repeated but it worth it 🤣
🤘🏼nice video!

150 PUSHUPS!! WHAT
I'm guessing there is a bit of form breakdown... I cannot believe he can do 150 with clean form
@@Thuky1He's Alex fucking Megos what makes you think he can't do 150 push ups
You better believe it. Clean as if he'd just taken a shower
@@alexandermegosAM as clean as my toes after 8 hours of multipitching 😏
as clean as my two year old Skwamas 😁
full video of your training day?
What a thumbnail
15:24 -> I struggle with shoulder mobility and therefore hesitate from doing banana-handstands (with an arched back to compensate). Would you say can train from handstands with a bad form to better mobility and a good form with mostly doing handstands?
Just hearing Alex talk, I am curious whether he has been strongly influenced by Wolfgang Guellich’s “Sportklettern heute”, a book I devoured in the 80s when starting to train specifically for climbing.
I was totally expecting Alex to bench press given what his chest looks like lol
I'm done with bench pressing 😂. I have enough chest
A handstand video would be very cool to see!
hey alex, why did you say you usually do more dips in winter? just curious
I just train more in winter and climb more outdoors (or at comps) in summer. That's the general schedule of the year
Might be a translation issue but to be clear, both a barbell and dumbbells are ‘free weights’. I would also nominate Two-Bench Triceps Pushups as a fantastic triceps movement. Thanks for the vid! 🙏🏾💪🏾
Thanks
Thank you!
Is the next video "How to train your legs"? :)
Thanks!

More tips how u both got to such a beast mode :)
What's your opinion of the moonboard?
How do you guys deal with elbow nerve pain
Handstand tutorial video!
handstand - handstand - handstand!!!
Now legs workout next
There are stairs to the gym 🤷🏼♂️
Handstand Video please!!!

Handstand video please 🙏
Please do it at a university in front of students waisting there time 😜

@@alexandermegosAM do you think shoulders are also quite important for pushing motion in climbing ? Like for stability and strength aspects
Absolutely. Shoulders and shoulder engagement are key for climbing and to prevent injuries.
@@thibaut4780 they are way more important than the triceps for stability, equal as important for the pushing itself.
Handstand video !!!!
Climbing is way too overrated...

Train triceps with a barbell press? You're hitting your delts and traps more than triceps.
