Getting your own climbing shoes helped me a lot, it enabled me using proper footwork as my shoe fits me so well now compared to rental shoe

If you're looking for suggestions, I noticed that in these clips you seem to have your arms bent a LOT. You are right that bouldering can take strength, but a lot of climbing technique centers around being more efficient in climbing so that it takes less effort to do a climb, which can lower the strength needed to top it. When your arms are bent, you're using your arm muscles to hold yourself that way, which tires them out (being stronger just increases the time it takes for you to get tired, really). As they get tired/pumped, you'll find that your fingers seem to stop working as well - this is because arm muscles are very important to finger movement, so if your arms are tired, so are your fingers! Try to focus on keeping your arms straight as much as you can - for example using more of a swinging motion, using your arms as a lever, to get up higher instead of doing a pull-up on a hold. Hanging from a hold with a straight arm instead of holding yourself with your elbow bent up puts the stress on the bones and tendons, which can handle it for much longer without being tired out as compared to muscles. And it doesn't have to be a dead hang - getting your feet higher lets you angle the hang and lets your legs help with some of the effort, so it's more of a tension thing than actual hanging. You might find that focusing on the efficiency/technique side of bouldering will lead to faster progression - sure getting stronger can help, but you can just do the opposite and make the problem easier instead, by finding a way to climb it so that each move takes you less effort. And it could potentially help with injuries as well - both in the sense that better technique always helps with this, but also that being more efficient prevents your arms from being tired, which can make your fingers not do quite what you want/expect them to which can cause injuries.

I appreciate the detailed feedback and suggestions! 🙏 I'll work on incorporating those tips into my technique. Sorry for the inconvenience and bothersome I’ve caused.

I think one of my favourite parts is working through the pain and getting just a little better every week. I can make a long term goal and even if I have a bad climbing day or if I’m not feeling great, I know that I still got to climb and maybe got a little better for next time 🙂 Also (from a fairly new climber with a finger tendon injury) the fingers get stronger over time, hold the expectation of it taking time. If climbings not your thing, just stay active! It is always better to push yourself and make yourself uncomfortable so everything else you do feels better! Happy new year! 🫡

Thank you for telling me this! I’m sorry if I’m abit whiny in this video but I hope it won’t bother you too much

@enoharo No need to apologize man, everyone is entitled to their opinions. You have absolutely zero obligation to enjoy bouldering or to participate in it. But if you can find the joy in pushing yourself; accomplishing something you thought was impossible. That's a hard feeling to beat and you just may fall in love with it like I did.

The next video: "why bouldering sucks in 5 minutes 2: everyone complained in my last bouldering video" 😂 Nah for real, as a boulderer myself i find this video to be very funny but it's also insightful to how beginners feel. That said, if you want to keep going you got this!

None of the boulders you displayed requires much physical strength. You are just making tons of mistakes that make the routes 10 times harder than they actually are. What you need is not more finger strength but someone who explains and practices basic technique with you.
