🔥 climbing in a heat wave 🔥

[@Alex-sl4zp]

I love the doodled "STRONG" in the middle of the wall

[@JenniferLangen]

HAH just need to remind myself what i'm aiming for!

[@nickburnell8641]

Campus Tip: Train strict form pull ups on a regular bar or pair of gymnast rings, no need for campus rungs. This is essentially what a campus is, except on climbing holds finger strength becomes a part of the move. The important part is to have clean reps, so if you can only do one that's perfectly fine. If you can't get one then use a chair or step to get into the highest position and do the negative. Eventually you'll be able to get 5 clean reps. At this point you can start to do weighted pull ups! Some people may advise to swing a little bit to gain some momentum, but you won't have much control when going for worse holds. Good luck!

[@charlotteutschig2010]

I LOVE the music in your videos. Seriously, it's you and other LA-based climbers (but mainly you) that made me start a Spotify playlist called LA Vibes and I listen to it all the time (I'm from WI, where the vibes are... different). Anyways just your music taste is awesome and thank you for more song recommendations to add to my playlist! Also yes that's a lot of things going on in your life, sheesh! I hope it all works out :) I'm also moving soon (but like a baby move, I'm still in college) and it's full of variables and stress. You've got this!

[@JenniferLangen]

OMG thanks so much!! there's a band called The Grinns who opened for Jurassic Shark and they'RE AMAZING TOO very LA, def worth checking out. good luck with your move!! :~)

[@alexmaat6379]

@@JenniferLangen there's a band called Faked TIdes who's broken up now, but I think you would enjoy.

Hurt my spine a little on an unexpected fall from the wall, plus a planned cervix surgery, need to rest one month from climbing. It’s great to have ur video to watch during this month of rest! As a beginner for 4 months ur video really helped me learn doable techniques! Love your channel!

[@TeresaCityofPortugal]

CAMPUS TIP: train your lock offs if you wanna do it statically. use momentum like in the monkey bars and don't let your body stop so you can move more freely. Hope these help :)

[@JenniferLangen]

thanks so much!! i think i was trying to do it statically in the video, but i'll try to use momentum and see if that helps :~)

[@anner6063]

@@JenniferLangen when using momentum, I would try not to "fall" into the fully streched arm. that puts a lot of stress on the shoulder and ellbow, ouch!! also, when you cant hold it properly there is a risk of shoulder dislocation if the rotator cuff is not strong enough. so be a little careful when using momentum up and down I would say

[@RyanEdwardsWeddingFilms]

[@RossPotts]

My best climbs were made the summer I left the Army back in the 90s. I had 3 months of leave saved up and spent it all surviving on slim Jim’s, power bars and slurpees while sending a lot of routes at Carderock. Fun times in the heat!

[@Tobyzguy]

These videos are always great! I love the little background music, the shirts, and the cbd rants! Its so spiradick but that only makes it more relaxing and enjoyable to watch. I ussually watch clinbers who are better than me for inspiration but your commitment and general percieved positivty is contagous and i couldnt care wether its in a climbing video or anything else. Please put your mental health first but if you can try to post 1 a week at least. Your channel has so much potential!!! Thx for brightening a 15 year olds day!!!

[@Benkkuful]

Tip for campusing is to treat it like a deadpoint. You somehow need to generate enough momentum that you can reach the "hover state" where for a moment you're weightless and can freely grap the next hold. Normally when deadpointing you would use all your limbs to generate the momentum, but when campusing you either need to kip with your lower body or pull more explosively. So the best way to improve your campusing would be training pulling strength. Weighted pull-ups/explosive pull-ups. I'd aim for 65%-75% of your 1 rep max (for example if your bodyweight is 60kg and you can do 1 with +10kg then 70% of your 1RM is 49kg so -11kg taken off with a pulley or doing lat pulldowns with 49kg) and do 8-10 reps and 3-5 sets with 3-5 min rest in between.

[@JenniferLangen]

this is super helpful, thanks! great tips that i'll try out tomorrow :~)

[@phillipebutler3796]

I like the lil note :) loving the videos, regardless of their frequency! great to hear about the neuroscience program, that sounds awesome!

[@miav8544]

Great video, Jenn! Loved seeing a little tidbit of your training and all the fun routes you set on the wall. Hope your move to SF goes well and doesn't give you too much stress! Be safe always and I look forward to your next video (but no pressure! Self-care/overcoming mental blocks should be a priority ^^). I also just got my fancy pin and sticker, so I wanted to thank you! The pin looks pretty on my chalk bag, hehe :D

[@JenniferLangen]

AHHHH MIA I'M SO GLAD YOU GOT YOUR GOODIES! thank you so so much for the encouragement; i'm doing a lot better now that i've just toured the apartment that i think i'll lease :~) now i'm just plain excited!

loved the note in the description!

[@Lynnch1213]

Hey Jenn, 1. Don't worry too much about perfect edits an stuff. I come here because it feels like hanging with the kids at the climbing gym, chill vibes at the happy place. 2. I just moved from fresno to the bay. It's freaking cold here, but in a good way?

[@matthewpetrinitz5764]

My best campus tip: campus upwards in the same way you campused sideways. Use a lot more momentum and legs.

[@JenniferLangen]

OOh good call! thanks so much, i'll try that out!

[@elisakinsey1086]

I finally went bouldering again as the gyms have just opened here in the UK and I managed to land on my hand and injure my elbow. So now I'm stuck with no climbing even though they're open. Typical! Good to see you climbing!

[@JenniferLangen]

gah elisa i'm so sorry to hear that!! hopefully you're able to rehabilitate it and gradually start climbing again :~)

[@felix3821]

[@Luxx0002]

I love your vids! Hope your technical issues will be fixed soon! Take care!

[@Fred-oz3tw]

I hate bringing it to you, but cbd is the seditative making part of Marihuana and not the active one lol. Why is there a cbd energy drink? That makes no sense 😂 Anyways nice video, really chilling video with really cool music 😊✌

[@ewicexclamationpoint]

Glad to see another vid! For beginner campus tips, I'd work pullups until you can do a very slow and controlled one, then work lock-offs by doing typewriters on the bar. It should give you additional stability when you release the off hand. Good luck!

[@ewicexclamationpoint]

Oh, also if you don't mind messy campus technique, you can try and campus by releasing the offhand in the middle of a pull-up motion, so you already have upward momentum going into the actual campus. Be careful, watch your shoulders.

[@JenniferLangen]

@@ewicexclamationpoint thanks so much!! these are great tips :~)

[@SarahFen]

Hi Jenn! Just want to say I love your channel :) I was just getting into climbing before quarantine (went to my university's gym like maybe ten times) and even got climbing shoes and a chalk bag right before everything shut down. Watching your vids keeps me excited for when I can get back to climbing!

[@JenniferLangen]

aww sarah thank you so much! i'm so glad that my videos keep you excited about climbing even with everything shut down. hopefully you get to climb safely soon!

[@billy2488]

I had Kids by Current Joys playing on my Spotify while watching this and it was almost synchronized when it started playing in your video. I thought I was going insane at first.

🔥🔥🔥 alert

[@brenttsuji3031]

All aboard 🚂

[@eek0o]

For campusing you can try pulling higher until your locking off elbow is less than 90 degrees, it should be slightly easier to hold then :)

[@JenniferLangen]

i'll try that! thanks so much for the tip :~)

[@Carcu0957]

[@anner6063]

looking strong Jenn!! For more campus power try all the lock off tips in the comments ;) I try lock offs on rings (cheap and lots of fun, get some!). In the fully "pulled up" position (palms towards chest is easier) try to strech one arm as far as you can and holding onto the other. like pushing the arm away. weird to describe, but you know what I mean, right ;) Also pull ups suck, but help a lot (sadly)...

[@shunweiwang5679]

[@michael-lucanatt8009]

im also a beginner climber but im p strong and do p well at campusing. I would say practice lockoffs, pull up negatives, and pull up typewriters (where you are in a wide lockoff and move laterally to shift weight from arm to arm)

[@Balgore8]

Those shorts are fire daaamn. And you know it. Forget the cbd go straight for thc and have yourself a good climb. Cheers from legal Canada lol

[@ireniancc]

lowkey how do you remember the problems you've set lol I feel like I'd plan something, get on the wall, and totally forget everything from just terrible memory + looking at it from a different perspective. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it's not that hard haha

[@nbka8rs]

There's marking tape you can use (just different colored tape to mark the boulder problem). The cheaper way to do it is to just buy painters tape at home depot of different colors and use that + masking tape. You can set a few different problems that way until you get better at memorizing them. I do that for my home board for other climbers, that and a 5 dollar laser pointer go a very long way!

[@ireniancc]

@@nbka8rs ah yeah true! I've seen that in gyms I just haven't seen it in Jenn's videos (unless I'm not looking close enough haha) so I was wondering what her take was but thanks for the advice!

Off topic but how did you sew that top!!

[@ph33rth3p33r]

You should try Loctite on all the bolts to prevent them from loosening.

[@JenniferLangen]

i'll try that out, thanks so much!

[@michaelpetepiece4566]

@@JenniferLangen Loctite is probably a bad idea. The holds get loose because the t-nuts get compressed into the wood by the weight of the climber. Even with loctite the holds would still spin around the bolt. Tightening bolts is pretty much unavoidable on a new wall. After a while the t-nuts will be compressed into the wood about as much as possible and you won't have to re-tighten as often (but you'll still need to do it occasionally). PS love the channel.

[@phillippearce9680]

[@theeverydayadventurer]

Who did you order the red holds on the right from Jenn? The one's you used for campusing.

[@JenniferLangen]

i ordered those from Element!

[@metzcigar09]

Use screws for the holds bro they have pilot holes to stop them spinning

[@JenniferLangen]

some of my holds have pilot holes/screws (those don't need to be re-tightened) but a lot of them are smaller jugs that don't really have space for screws :~( le sigh

[@metzcigar09]

@@JenniferLangen in those cases then you can place a screw on the underside of the holds. So if it's a hold you're pulling on the left side of primarily, add a screw underneath the left-hand side of the hold and vice versa

Is the shirt all hand sewn? It looks good. I have some sewing projects I'm interested in doing but the prospect of hand sewing the whole thing is super daunting for me and the price of a good sewing machine is high.
