Improve Climbing Balance With Alex Megos' Coaches | Climbing Daily Ep.976

[@tblends]

At this point there's hundreds of training technique videos/routines, I don't even know what to do, it's so overwhelming. I guess I'll just keep doing push-ups and sit-ups...

[@TuNeXiZz]

how is it that I missed the second video and it is not in the description?

[@pilorom]

That's not what I expected, but obviously these guys are professionals and work with the best, gonna check these exercises

[@tyrone5643]

im a pro at pulling the pole. i don't know how i can get any better

[@pucek365]

Maybe by improving your balance? :D

[@karlismelderis]

I'm not sure if moving bar behind your head is smart excercise. That's first move they shoved. It looks very much like lat pulldowns and bar should always finish in front of you or one can get nasty shoulder injuries. Happy if anyone can prove me wrong :)

[@menarniallvar3927]

Karlis Melderis Good point. But as long as you don't use weights it's more of a mobility exercize.

[@Duckers_]

I wouldn't do that exercise at all , it just doesn't look natural. I'd rather do shoulder dislocates and cow/cat stretches for rotator cuff and thoracic spine

[@climbscience4813]

I think you're disregarding that the exercise is not done under load. Think of it as a stretch. Shoulder injuries occur mainly if you go into extreme ranges of motion under load, which is not the case here. Improving mobility can actually decrease your chances of getting injured, so I would definitely recommend including exercises like that. Especially external rotation of your shoulder is a good thing for climbers due to shortened lats and pecs that most climbers develop over time. Two friends of mine got injured because of that.

[@karlismelderis]

ClimbScience but look at his whole core stability. He is moving with all core where excercise is for shoulders. Or not? :) There are other excercises that keep you in more natural range of motion.

[@climbscience4813]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with moving your core while doing a shoulder movement, IF it serves a purpose for the movement, which is stretching your thoracic spine in this case. Trying to isolate one joint at a time is generally a really bad idea for climbing training. There are some rare cases where it makes sense, i.e. the fingers and certain rotator cuff exercises, but in general you want to avoid isolation exercises. I do know what you mean by "natural" range of motion, but that concept doesn't apply to mobility exercises. In exercises like that you want to increase your range of motion, so it's the idea to get into positions that feel uncomfortable.

Hi Early i'm dad

I don't buy any of this and it's always seen throughout Sports, hybrid training, sports specific training. it's all bs in my opinion. strengthen your muscular skeletal system in the gym and then train your sport specific skill by doing the skill. in this case rock climbing. don't mix it up using weight vests and questionable stretches. by all means stretch, you want to maintain some passive range of motion but that's as far as it goes.
