This Average Climber Trained Wrist Rolling for 30 days - Ft.

[@HoopersBeta]

Thank you Geek Climber for reaching out and asking me to be a part of this process! So cool to see your improvements and all that you learned about your climbing along the way!

[@GeekClimber]

Thanks again for dropping all the awesome knowledge, Jason! Y'all should definitely check out Hooper's Beta for quality content! Let's get him to 10k subs!

[@HaleyMorganB]

Hey Jason! Would you recommend for sport climbers to lower the weight and increase reps (like have 3 minutes total of wrist rolling) since time on the wall is much higher?

[@HoopersBeta]

@@HaleyMorganB yeah definitely! Well, more in the 2, 2:30 minute range. But that would be great modification to emulate the time spent sport climbing between max efforts and your rests.

[@HaleyMorganB]

[@meganwong9508]

Hooper's Beta is a FANTASTIC channel! I'm so happy to see you guys collaborating & definitely worth a follow. I also think it's cool that you are integrating other aspects of climbing into your channel as well (like training, (p)rehabbing). It's definitely a multifaceted activity that incorporates a lot of different things, and it's cool that we are getting more content and channels that illustrate this. Cheers!

[@Schyluer]

I used to get pinched nerves in my shoulders from climbing hard, Hoopers Beta fixed it. Haven't had a problem since.

[@GeekClimber]

Did you see him in person? Or did you actually fix it just by watching his videos?

[@Schyluer]

Geek Climber it was a video he did on the scapula and how it’s the most used thing in climbing but barely anyone warms it up. I did his scapula warm ups and my shoulder got better and better and better until the pain just went away. He is legit when it comes to prehab. This series kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV6xY4mmlJyimNU is probably worth $100 visit to a sports massage therapist.

[@nikapls]

@@Schyluer thank you for sharing that. As a person with double jointed shoulders I need this.

[@jy5490]

Damn thank you for your comment. I've injured both my shoulders climbing before and I've been looking for some good info on this.

[@freeHorizon]

Can I just say, that the video examples you include of what NOT to do, as well as of the little things that happen during your learning process (like feeing sore, doing research, watching tv, etc.) are hilarious and awesome? Really makes these videos more intimate and relatable. Also just plain funny.

[@RyanRyan-Ryan]

You've noticed a difference in yourself and that's all that matters. These small improvements in different areas will soon break that plateau of V7 and you will get the V8 💪

[@SASlair]

When I do them, I extend my arms straight out and rest them on something like the top of a treadmill or safety bar on a squat rack. This eliminates your shoulders and traps from getting involved allowing you to solely focus on the forearms which is your main goal for strengthening.

[@peterlowry6990]

[@joolsgrommers1466]

A way to see improvement from things like this without needing to climb V8: climb V7 faster or be able to do a couple in one session. V7 in a session is definitely better than in 2 or 4 sessions for example.

[@GeekClimber]

That's a good one. Thanks for the idea!

[@ThatLaggyNoob]

​ When I'm trying to break my plateau I also like this sort of blitz method but I'll repeat a problem without resting until I fall. It's really hard to go all out like this but I feel like I gain a lot from it.

[@buckrogers9659]

Perfect! I was just thinking about getting a wrist roller and I live in Germany and then I saw this. Just went and ordered one from redgeroller and he immediately wrote me an email letting me know that he was packaging my roller and sending it out tomorrow. Great service. I told him that I saw it on your video. So great to get what I want (a great wrist roller) and help you out a bit at the same time!

Great video. I'm not a climber. Me researching forearm rollers is purely aesthetic. But, this video was great and informative.

[@sacarymoviesamu]

I am not a climber, but i still do wrist rolling. I think that strengthening the forears is a very improtan thing for our daily lives. We always pick and hold weight, and our hands are one of our main tools for literally anything. Also it feels great in front of the mirror haha

[@JOHN12190]

[@commissarvigil4806]

To be that Guy, Wrist are entirely Genetics

[@SnuffDizz]

bodybuilders seeking max growth will throw in more sets, maybe 8-10, might do them 4 times a week, micht train the flexors too with the roller, always start rolling from a platform so you can keep arms around waist level and unroll without touching the floor. Start with the extensors because it tends to be weaker less meaty part of the forearm (eliminate the weak link first) plus you pump up the brachialis semi-isometrically too! every third workout do supersets by pairing extensors-flexor sets together this will really engorge the forearm full of blood, time under tension is more important than weight here, you use the other 2 workouts to build more progressive weight overload in the extensors/flexors seperately combined you create good synergy to progress in total workvolume.

[@IcyThaneProductions]

DOPE!! HOOPERS BETA IS SUCH A GOOD CHANNEL!! Love it!

[@karlaart6971]

i’m not sure if the form for the heavier weights count. there was a lot of shrugging which meant you were compensating using different muscle groups

[@DIYToPen]

Started doing this again, just had my wrist roller sat around doing nothing for so long. Put 7.5kg on, pretty close to my max it seems. Looked at my forearms and they had the most intense vascularity I've ever seen. I'm gonna keep doing it. I want to do 15kg. Also I did that V6 from your video. Pretty fun.

[@oguzhantukuc1997]

why don't you ever do any strenght training program ?

[@9999rockey]

Also pull it from the other side and your negatives should be slow. You will see a great result

[@chaosevolution]

Problem with most rollers is that the wire coils up towards one side. So the weight is not even distributed on both arms. I guess you could turn the bar around so it coils on the opposite side. So instead of curling back and being left dominant, you would it around and curl forward and be right dominant. I curl up and down.

[@Voidload]

You will feel the usage of stronger wrists on slopers and in some akwards scenarios pinches. It's also great for open angle holds and probably you will like it on any sort of body co pression with your arms

[@hellwroughtangel]

Dude you're on a roll.

[@GeekClimber]

[@axjtalex4672]

I was always told you have to keep your elbows at your sides to really isolate the forearms. When you flare your elbows out you use some shoulder muscles. Good video always thought if doing this really helped

any difference in rolling towards vs away from you?

Yes rolling towards you trains the forearm flexors while rolling away from yourself trains the extenssors, i recommend rolling away from your self since flexors already get a lot of work from all pulling exercises...

[@movementexpert4943]

You should try captain's of crush grippers the will help you a lot!!! Can you close a number 2 first try???

[@JuanBizzotto]

Great video. just one doubt. Should you be lifting the weight with the flexing movement or the extension movement?

[@GeekClimber]

When you hold the roller in the pronated grip, it will be always working the extension. Gravity is pulling your wrist down, and your wrist extensors are fighting hard to keep the wrist in the neutral position!

[@JuanBizzotto]

@@GeekClimber thanks a lot!

[@SuperNeo]

Hmm. So I think my forearm strength is not lacking my ability to climb harder. I sterted just before Christmas and I can now flash V5s and V6 is just out of my league. But I tried this rolling training and managed to get 60 lbs up first try both directions.😁 I think I try something else. Lol
