  • Have you ever wondered how to train on a hangboard? Have you ever wondered how much better you will be at climbing if you train on a hangboard? Make sure to watch the video to find out. Prior to filming this video, I had zero experience in training on the hangboard. This video documents how I figured out the training and the amazing progress I made in just 30 days of training.

I went to the gym today (I go every day) and worked on the hangboard. Thanks so much for the informative videos!

  • @manuelmusic1175

    Really awesome progress dude! I hope you get that V6 soon. As far as people mentioning more progress in less time climbing, I think it depends on why you climb and what you do in the gym. Lots of people are super competitive and live for getting better and others use it as a zen experience. Progress happens with both. I go through phases of each one, but I tend to go with the flow. All that matters is that you love it enough to keep at it. Also, the grades are kind of a trap to get stuck in. I’ve done v6 in the new gym by me but get shut down on v3s at the one I used to go to. Everybody sets routes differently so you’ll never truly know. Keep crushing man

    • @GeekClimber

  • @kennethholvoet1178
    @kennethholvoet1178 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I would definitely recommend you to look into a pulley system. Subtracting weight will get you started on the lower rung much faster and will even allow you to isolate fingers and hang off two fingers for example. On the other hand adding weight with a harness will make your training more efficient on the bigger rungs, not having to hang for 35 seconds. So using added/counterweights you should aim for a hang time of about 7-10 seconds every time, closer mimicking actual climbing strength needs. And a big bonus is it allows you to keep track of your progress in much more detail, so it will keep you motivated. Good luck and hang in there...

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the suggestion. I saw people train with a pulley system in the gym before, and I can see the benefit of training with it. Not sure how feasible it is to install one at home though.

    It’s not just your hand... no muscle(s) works alone... ever. Your core is engaged and your shoulders needs engagement and your mid trapezius
    Had to add this. Pulling is not the same as pushing you need both resistance in the spectrum. Muscles can only pull when they contract. Insertion towards origin. When you use your latissimus dorsi and flexors and deltoids depending of which one the opposite muscle tries to control it. Also important lesson is to stabilize and mobilize the spine all the tiny muscles that helps move the bigger ones or starts it

    • @GeekClimber

    Beware of hang-boarding as a real beginner.
    If you never did any though exercises with your finger you should approach the hang-boarding with caution.
    It takes time for tendons and bones to strengthen, more time than is needed to built up muscles.

Just wanted to say that's not necessarily true. If you are ever near vietnam, you should visit cat ba island and do a DWS trip out there. You are definitely a better climber than I am, and I just got back from a multiday DWS trip out there. Was I the best? no. Did I crush every route? no. Was I able to safely climb, complete plenty of routes, and have the time of my life? yes. Definitely a dream within your reach!
