Nice. I have been watching your rock climbing videos for a week now and they are so good, it makes me want to try to do rock climbing. I am 14 and weigh 44-48kg But I can barely do a push-up or a pull-up, may I get some tips on how I can get started or increase strength? Thanks

[@GeekClimber]

My suggestion is just go to the gym and climb! You will build strength and have fun at the same time. Eventually you will be able to do a pull-up or a push-up. The workouts shown in the video are a little more advanced and are for climbers who hit a plateau.

[@premeditadeds6304]

Paul seems like a great guy

[@GeekClimber]

[@TheSarcasticEngineer]

The only thing I'd add to this is that tendons/ligaments take a long time to toughen up compared to muscles/skin, push it all you like, your joints will start to feel like they're filled with glass. Consider a week or two off every now and then, eat well, let them get a proper rest to build. Then wind it up back up. Repeated for a year or so after you start, you'll feel it improve. I was doing this for my first 3 years. It takes as long as it takes.

[@GeekClimber]

Interesting idea about taking a week or two off every now and then. Recently I have felt that my fingers seem to be on the verge of getting injured and I am researching on different finger stretches/exercises. Maybe more rest like you said is what I need.

[@GenialGris]

Nice, really looking forward to trying some of these. A question though: the entire workout is supposed to be 5 of these in 1 rotation, and in total do the rotation 3 times. How many reps of each exercise do you do? Do you only do reps on the crimp hanging and pullups?

[@GeekClimber]

Yes, you are right. Multiple reps for the crimp hanging and pullups. One rep for campus board/rung workouts and one arm hangs. I am sure multiple reps for ab rollers, sit ups and push ups too, but Paul didn't go into details about these ones.

[@NeithanGMT]

How many set do you do at each rotations?

[@erickangas7708]

Great video! I watched it a couple times already. I'm a V5-V6 climber and started trying a couple of these workouts. I haven't done a lot of hangboard training but will be incorporating them regularly into my routine. Through lifestyle changes I lost 25 pounds last year and am in a pretty decent body shape for climbing right now with a 21.3 bmi. I'm hoping I can get solidly into the V6s and start tackling the V7s (and more 5.11s) soon. What grade are you climbing right now? Have you noticed any recent climbing improvements since you started this workout?

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the video helpful! I climb V5s mostly and I have been able to climb a few V6s recently, which I think is because of this workout. Once I feel I can climb V6s solidly, I will upload an updated video.

[@nathanielberger1595]

[@logiconabstractions6596]

I tend to prefer training before climbing (but after a good warmup) than climbing-first. Whichever your do first is the one you will get the most out of. If I take some time and energy out of climbing to train, I want to maximize the gains I get from it. Otherwise I could just climb harder/longer instead. Of course you still gain if you train after and perhaps training doesn't have to be seen as taking away from climbing time... I would emphasis more the "don't get injured" aspect of this training. Campusing is hard on the tendons - you don't have to be doing double dynos, however, to tear a pulley. Doing this type of training too many times a week for a number of weeks could make you more at risk of getting injured on a climb for example, if you accumulate fatigue. I agree about the double-dyno to an extent. It seems you really have to do it right and not over-do it in order not to get injured. However even though the movement is not something you'd typically do in a route, the fact that you need to support all your weight is probably pretty good to develop power. If you do reach with one arm, you need less power even for long reaches because the lock-off arm substracts some of the weight. That power would likely transfer to moves with just one arm (presumably they both got stronger!), like long reaches, deadpoints etc. I haven't tried it that said, I mostly focus on hangs. I really like the cross-over idea on the campus rungs. I can really see the benefit of training your muscles to execute that type of movement. It's a move we don't do that often and pay less attention to, but sometimes it's part of the crux of a route. Since we don't do it often and the muscles aren't used to perform those moves, it probably feels harder than it really is. So for the execution alone it seems like a good idea and of course you would get stronger as well. Good climbing video guys - it's nice to see Ondra do 1-5-9 on the rungs, but it's also nice to see a more "realistic" training plan for us mere mortals...

[@ericvsthem]

from what i've researched and experienced, train climbing first (mostly hard bouldering), stop once your power drops (can be hard to gauge but for me it's when i can't climb the hardest boulder problems that i've got dialed in), then do the stuff Paul covers in this video. you generally get more benefit/gains from training climbing first.

[@logiconabstractions6596]

Adam Ondra begs to differ (watch at 1:55): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnK7lISDabmoe5o I'm not saying it's completely wrong. I'm just saying you're not maximizing your training if you climb hard first. If you're starting to see your power drops, that means: - You will not be able to sustain charges as big as you could if you were warmed up but fresh. - Hanging on a given edge while tired with 15 lbs is not equivalent to hanging 30lbs extra charge while fresh. Yes you feel like to you are giving just as much efforts (it feels just as hard) but you don't get the same muscle development because you're not using all of your muscle. Will you still benefit from the training? Sure. Will it be as effective as it could be? No. And my point is: if I'm going to take/energy for training, that means I won't have that energy available for climbing. Therefore might as well make sure that my training takes as little time/energy as possible and gives me the biggest bang for my bucks. Plus, as Ondra mentions, greater risk of injury doing it that way.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like the video man. I agree whatever you do first you will get the most out of it. Based on my experience, it's a better idea to climb first than train first, and it's because training is actually in a more controlled condition than climbing. When your arm strength are dying down you are in a higher risk for injuries, therefore you want to be in a more controlled condition (training) to minimize it from happening. Another idea could be find a day and just do training and don't do any climbing to get the most out of training.

[@logiconabstractions6596]

Actually that's a good point you bring there. In fact, I don't think it's a great idea to both climb hard AND train in the same session period. This is kind of the point you are touching on at the end. I guess a more precise way to frame my take on this issue is that you can't do well 2 things at once. It's possible to climb hard and get a good session out of it, or to train hard and get physical gains out of it. Whichever your do first, the risk of injury in a sense is a bit of a moot point: if you train hard after climbing (so while tired), you risk injuries. If you climb hard while tired your also risk injuries. I guess the real conclusion to be had here is more than exercising at your limit while too tired is just a bad idea and prone to injuries. It is true that climbing hard is less controlled than training. When I climb after training, I never work on project and usually do climbs I can link like 95% of the time. In my experience, with good technic it is possible to do those climbs in a controlled fashion. If I have trained before, I focus on execution and technic rather than climbing hard stuff (so I'll do say the same boulder problem 3-4 times in a row, with good rest between, at a level I am fairly confident I can onsight all 3 or 4 attempts). However, I don't think we should over-estimate how controlled training is. When doing strength training, we're typically at 90-95% capacities for a few reps only. Sometimes the will to perform repetitions as planned, or to do better in our training than last week, lead us to push a bit harder than we should. I've certainly been guilty of that in the past. I guess too a an important point about this training/climbing first issue is about where your are in your climbing. Beginner climber (without first 2-3 years of climbing unless you've started pretty much doing that full time) get more benefits from just climbing physically than experienced climbers. They also are more likely to get technical gains from climbing which you don't really get as much training.

[@takeiteasy8847]

I recently started to climb and especially with lead my grips tire really fast. I wanted to use your method of hanging with one arm to improve this weakness. I was really shocked that I can only hang on one arm for about 1-2 seconds on the bar. I am built quite strong and I was also known for a strong grip in wrestling so this was surprising to me (I weigh in about 86kg which is about 185 I reckon). Can someone from the community get me started on how to develop grip strenght that will support hanging on one arm? It will be appreciated greatly! good speed!

[@GeekClimber]

I think having a mobilized and strong shoulder plays a big part in one arm hangs. I suggest working on external rotations for your rotator cuffs, lateral raises for your lateral delts. Also while you are hanging with one arm make sure your shoulders are engaged instead of hanging loosely. Initially you can hang on pull up bars instead of the holds on the hangboard too. Hope this helps.

[@adonisdelafuente]

@@GeekClimber Thank you for your advice! I will implement it in my training regime!

Geek Climber thanks 😝

[@Noneymar1]

Really interesting vid, cool to get some insights in Pauls training philosophy. But i gotta say that i would disagree with some of his points, especially cause this is meant to be a beginners workout. 1: I would never use hangboard edges for a pull up set as a beginner, just jugs. This is a "after climbing workout", which means youve prhb used (and trained!) your fingers during the session, so pulling up on full-crimpable egdes without 100% fingerstrength will only train your power endurance, finger strength hyper compensation is not going to happen, not significant. Besides of that pulling on full-crimpable egdes seems like a unnecessarily risk factor for a beginner. So only using different jugs (some slopers are cool too) is a way better way in terms of injury prevention and you´ll still get the same training effect in your pulling muscles. 2: Using smaller rungs (same as in the 1st point: smaller= full crimpable holds, which means: if you for example doing skip one, pull trough, youre intention, particularly in later sets, will be to get the movement done. As a beginner you most likely will focus on this, not your gripping technique, on smaller holds this will tempt you to crimp harder than you should do it.) So in my opinion, using small campus rungs after a full session is not a good idea. Advanced climbers can do it but i wouldnt recommend it either. i would say: Do after-session campusboard movements on juglike holds or big slopy rungs, if your campusboard dont have them, dont do campusboard after session as a beginner. Campusboard always means high risk in injury terms, high reward in training terms. And high risk isnt good for beginners. Of course, Paul is the pro. He prhb warms up in my projects. I know that. But i had finger problems in the past because i overpaced. I recommend to low the risk, its worth it. If you still want to go all in after a session, body reflexion is key. If something hurt or felt bad, dont continue, or do a easier exercise.

I'm pretty sure Paul recommended always using the largest rungs for campusing at one point in this video, and that, as advanced as he is, he always prefers to use the largest rungs.

[@Noneymar1]

watch from 1:30, "it doesnt rly matters, do your first set on these jugs your 2 on this.... your next on these crimps (1:41, he is showing too bad crimps in my opinion)." but again: its my opinion/advice. no offense, it worked out for him.

[@Noneymar1]

and yes he recommended large rungs, but the rungs in the vid are still not jugs/slopy rungs.

[@GeekClimber]

Thanks for articulating your thoughts. This workout is designed for intermediate climbers who climb V5s like me, not for beginners, unless you classify V5 climbers as beginners. Then that’s another story. I agree doing pull ups on small crimps is a little bit too intense, but Paul made me do it on the jugs so I would stick to that for a while. As for the campus rungs, the largest rung is actually big enough for me to comfortably grip with open hands. Also, the workouts Paul showed me are all pretty short so they are actually pretty manageable for my level. I do agree with you that all of us should have a good understanding of our own body and know when to stop so we won’t injure ourselves.

[@Noneymar1]

i do not consider you as a beginner, because youve climbed for quite a while. So yeah, you know what open handed means and how to prevend injuries while gripping. but some other v5 climbers dont climb as long as you (i think a gifted and talented guy can peak to v5 in 8-12 months) i consider them as beginners. Just because they are not experienced enough to know when to grip how. this is not a grade thing, its a time thing, you know? These climbers may think, its a great idea to use every hold, even the holds they shouldnt use yet. Iam not afraid for you, but for these guys.

When Paul said “when you come in after a day of climbing ... choose five, whichever five” what is he referring to? Great content by the way! Thanks Mate!

[@GeekClimber]

You’re welcome! He was referring to the 10 exercises he showed me. Randomly pick 5 to do after a session of climbing. However, I usually pick the way that there’re 3 finger/arm workouts and 2 core workouts.

[@VDB420]

@@GeekClimber How does that work with #3 crimp hangs? Do you still do 5 sets or only one set per rotation?

[@GeekClimber]

@VDB 5 sets per rotation, so 5 on 5 off, 5 on 5 off, 5 on 5 off, 5 on 5 off, and then the last 5 on per rotation.

[@VDB420]

@@GeekClimber cheers!

[@Trail.runner]

So with these workouts, should these been completed on a non climbing day or should you do these immediately after your session?

[@kristinschmidt7816]

4:03 okay? ...umm, nope. great vid

[@GeekClimber]

Haha, glad you like the video!

how do you talk when you talk normally?

[@GeekClimber]

More slowly and less energetic. Can't talk like that on KZbin otherwise people won't watch my videos.
