[@arbalest7645]

I don't know why everyone says your videos are fake. You've been rock climbing for years. Of course your progression to a muscle up will be faster than others because you've been doing a pull-dominant sport for years.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

Agreed on the general point, he's been in good shape for years. Minor quibble: you climb the same way you hit a golf ball (according to Jack Nicklaus) with your legs. Rock-climbing is a push-sport, not a pull one. We do all that hand-board stuff because it is useful to have extraordinary finger strength from time to time, and it's certainly important for safety that we be able to hold ourselves up with our arms. These, however, are intermittent and brief occasions. Important, but sporadic and short. We climb the same way we walk, with our legs.

He does have a superfast human flag, no way I can match him in that or one arm pullup. However, he is bad at basic stuff like dips or pushups, and back and front lever I can probably surpass him in. I am also more flexible than he is. I doubt he can do planche, with its straight arm and shoulder demands.

you need to keep practicing it. I had the same problem, but I kept doing it and now I sleep on my back every night! Try doing things that can help you go to sleep like getting off your phone, drinking milk, etc, then lay on your back. Keep practicing it and you'll get the hang of it.

[@Alexander31616]

Nice video, first 2 points are really good tips! And whilst it is true that massaging does increase mobility and in some cases, improvements in mobility have to lead to a decreased risk of injury. There is no evidence that massaging pre or post-workout improves recovery except psychologically (as a placebo). "Post-exercise massage has been shown to reduce the severity of muscle soreness but massage has no effects on muscle functional loss." - Weerapong, P., Hume, P.A. & Kolt, G.S. The Mechanisms of Massage and Effects on Performance, Muscle Recovery and Injury Prevention. Sports Med

[@careybunks898]

Yes, I’ve also read this paper, and have not found any published research that shows better muscle recovery from massage. If geek climber has a paper reference it would be helpful to post it.

[@Noobmaster-pf7go]

Hey man, props to us, I was accused for steroid use for putting a good amount of muscle in a year, compared to people who had been training for 3-4 years because my progress showed better, I’m only 5’7 and 150 pounds,I started at 120 and been training for 2 years and half and I wasn’t consistent always consistent though everyday for awhile

[@Aurelius131]

I have no clue why someone would accuse you of steroids for 20 pounds of muscle, people with great genetics can put on the same amount in one year with a good routine so good for you for your consistency 👍.

[@andrewn9139]

If you’ve only been training 2 years and gained 30 pounds probably a lot of it is fat or water.

[@Noobmaster-pf7go]

Andrew N it’s probably my chest, I was blessed with good genetics in that area so I put a good amount of muscle on that area but yeah maybe a couple pounds of water like 5

Stop calling him fake, he is a fast learner, and is consistent with his training along with getting stronger in general. You're just mad because he either learned faster than you did or he learned how to do what you still can't do

What do you advice to fall sleep quickly?

Hey man, I enjoyed watching your tips and personality. I clicked on this video because we both have the same foam roller and i just ordered a very similar massage gun (i ordered O’Yeet’s NEX).

He did a fast progression in a pulling excersise and he trains Climbing. The Handstand was super tough for him cuz its pushing. And both excersise although they are compound movements, they involve some particular body parts more than others. You cant call fast 150+ days for a Handstand or a muscle up for 40 days if the guy is able to do 10 push ups in a row.

[@thatonekidyoudontremember4594]

My wrist got sore after to much pressure on one side doing pull ups and pretty much heavy weights

[@Yupppi]

I thought you want to avoid extra mobility before workout for the increased risk of injury due to muscles being different from muscle memory that was learned with the good technique, especially on heavy weights/stresses.

[@poser_disposer]

I cannot change how I sleep. I broke my wrist and tried sleeping on my back because it was the only position I wasn't in pain in, and I just didn't sleep well for like 3 months until my wrist was recovered enough to sleep how I used to.

[@KidRivers]

BUT WHAT ABOUT STRETCHING??? Please tell me you believe stretching is also equally as important when it comes to the recovery process??

I know conventional wisdom is stretching is good post workout but bad preworkout. However, I didn't find stretching helpful for some reason.

[@KidRivers]

@@GeekClimber I mean everyone will have their own routine.... maybe you don't believe it helps with muscle recovery, but you HAVE to do some flexibility work if you expect to become a better climber!

I’d say climbing for years and having your tendons used to stress probably makes your progressions a lot faster. I end up having to not train as often not because my muscles are fatigued but because if I train more often my tendons start to feel not good
