@@tts3397 Certainly, I would say that around street shoe size is probably good for most people with the CS, I've downsized them a bit and in hindsight it's a bit too painful, my best size would be half below street. Regarding the 2.0s I think you can go a little bit lower, but Even with them around half a size or one full below street is probably ideal. In summary, the CS feel around half to a full size smaller than the drone 2.0s

adding weight looks as if you're regressing to that previous version of you that climbed with less muscular strength and weaker fingers. It's cool to see how movement patterns deprove when we're physically less conditioned. Strength is essential for technique.

no i think the main thing is people don't normally gain and lose 20kg in 9 days. if you lost 20kg over a year like a normal person i don't think you'd see much change to your technical ability, just you'd be able to pull harder moves on worse holds.

Yeah, it was interesting seeing that, it goes to show you that technique isn't everything if you don't have the strength to follow through on the technique. It reminded me of watching newer climbers just fall off holds for no apparent reason, but it's just because they weren't strong enough to hang on.

Cool experiment! I think the drop in technique probably doesnt stem from "forgetting how to climb" while wearing the vest but it may rather be an aftereffect of your movements adaptating to the change in dynamics due to the additional weight (and then losing it suddenly). This is a very well known effect in motor learning called implicit adaptation. If you were trying something similar again, a promising approach could be to slowly increase weight while training on routes of a constant grade to build up strength while remaining your technique. Once you reach a certain weight you keep that weight but go higher in grades. Finally, reduce weight and feel super light :)

I'm tempted to give this a try for when I climb with a friend who has a weaker strength-to-bodyweight ratio. That would make it possible to emulate that, and see what could or could not work for them when looking for ideas on a climb. It's not always easy to intuitively understand what is easy or impossible for someone with a different strength.

I train with ankle weights on my home wall, and it's been very beneficial. I learn to be more aware of feet tension, and usually have an easier time sending my projects once they're off. Ned Feehally (co-founder of Beastmaker) also talks about using ankle weights in his book.

I've always wanted to know what it would be like to climb 20kg lighter!

As someone who has climbed in the range of 215 lbs - 260 lbs, let me tell you (as I'm starting the video) there is an insane difference in performance and in safety. I've only ever gotten serious climbing injuries (elbow dislocation, ankle fracture, etc.) when above 230 lbs, the weight makes a lot of differences. It creates fatiguing faster, reduced mobility, more pull on fingers, etc. props to you for trying this out! Excited to see it!

Great vid @Emil as always! One comment I would make.. 20kg is a ludicrous amount of weight to be adding (even for a muscly guy like you), hence your feelings of loss of technique after you take it off. Personally I've seen huge gains from using 3-6kg added weight (in the form of ankle weights tied around my wait). It's a really nice amount of weight to add and then try to tackle climbs that are hard-ish but would normally go down in a few tries. There's very little impact on your proprioception with 3-6kg but it does add plenty of extra stimulus to your entire kinetic chain, especially the fingers, which can help break plateaus (or at least, it has for me) or build more sport specific muscle in all the right places. Positioning the ankle weights around my waist is the most comfortable spot I've found as it simulates having some extra 'love handles' but doesn't intefere with movement at all (weight vest I always find inteferes with my shoulder/arm range of motion).
@jeremysharpe5467
@jeremysharpe5467 10 ай бұрын
Had the same thought about the amount of weight. I'm mostly a lifter with climbing on the side, and the thought of jumping by 20kg suddenly on a lift is insane to me. I think best results would be adding 2.5kg per week and progressively overloading. Once you reach 20kg on week 8 you'll be well conditioned for it (if you even go that far - your point that 3-6kg might be enough is probably true for most people, though maybe not super strong people like Emil). Though it also gives some insight into how pro climbers like Emil can train so long and so often. At bodyweight he's clearly far from the limit on most moves (since even adding 20kg some decently hard stuff is still possible), so it makes sense that sessions can go for hours and be repeated many times a week.

@@jeremysharpe5467 I still think 20kg is an insane amount. It would mess so much with your proprioception (your internal sense of where your centre of gravity is). I think simulating being a bit overweight makes the most sense.. and distributing the weight around your waist (where centre of gravity usually is) minimises impact on proprioception.

Even The campusing application has limited value for most of us mere mortals since power adaptations are promoted most effectively at lower load and higher velocity. Campusing in a 20 kg weighted vest works well for you because you strap a Volvo on for your weighted pull up training. For the rest of us it would probably make us worse at campusing all other things equal.

As a beginner climber who is very slightly overweight, this is super encouraging to see. Motivates me even more to focus on losing weight (I hope to 'take off' my in-built 20kg vest over the course of this year) and training grip/finger strength (what I feel like is currently my bottle neck). Question: at 17:42 you mention that you are in "your power phase". What does that mean?
@Alexander31616
@Alexander31616 10 ай бұрын
Just a thought. Doing a pullup with added weight doesnt really help you gain power unless you train the speed component as well by doing fast unwighted or even assisted pullups. By that logic I think the ideal use for adding weight would be for slow static climbing, to help you gain maximum strength. Then after a few weeks of that maybe transistion to doing explosive climbing on decent holds / big moves to utilise the new strength.I'll probably try it out that way at some point.

I’m currently at 200lbs (90.71kg) and I’m decently lean, I could and plan to drop some weight because I’m heavier than I want to be and it could help my climbing. Used to be 220lbs but thankfully cut down on some fat because I was just not in shape. That said, I have done some weight vest sport climbing training before. It was only with 25lbs (11.31kg) but I used it for low grade climbs just to help increase the difficulty a bit since the gym wasn’t great and the small number of routes didn’t get reset often. I felt like it helped a lot, but I didn’t use it for an entire session. Increased strain to the tendons was my biggest concern when doing it, especially since I suffer from tendinitis in both elbows

I have used a weight vest (10 kg) for training for alpine ski touring (randonnée). The advice that I got, and followed, was to ease into it, i.e. to do short sessions e.g. 1 hour/day, in the beginning. Since the body's muscles, joints and tendons are not used to the extra weight it is very easy to injure the body. I was therefor not surprised that Emil felt overtrained and pain in the hips and the knees. Since I eased into it, I managed to stay uninjured and I am now able to do longer sessions (3+ hours) with the vest without getting to the point where the body is in risk of getting fatigued and injured. It has greatly improved my core strength as well as the strength in my legs (I do stair training).

My current weight is 102.7kg (down from 116.3), so it was interesting seeing you climb at nearly the exact same weight. Mind you, the vest is a bit harder seeing as it's not as evenly distributed as excess body fat. It'll be a bit trickier for me to take my extra weight off, but I'll get there eventually.

Since your body-weight is distributed, you know, all over your body, maybe it would make more sense to strap weights all over your body proportional to the weight in that body part. I.e. if your quads are 10% of your body weight each and you want to increase your overall weight by 10kg then each thigh should get 1kg strapped to it. Maybe one on each bicep, forearm, thigh, calf and the vest. Then you'd be really close to training in high gravity.

This reminds me of a sonnie trotter blog post I read many years ago where he tried a similar thing, I'm not sure of the weight added but similar concept for sure (basically trying to train with the weight vest a lot, I tried to find the post but I think the blog is gone). He encountered a similar problem, basically became extremely fatigued. Definitely looks like an idea worth playing around with though, and also looks like something that has a lot more utility for training pure force production, as the technical/skill transfer seems minimal/nada, or even detrimental as you mentioned. What if you progressed this very slowly? Like adding a kg a week until you reach some goal weight then back off again? That would minimize the impact on your movement, and obviously give your muscles and tendons much more time to adapt

Probably useful to fine tune your training on specific boulders. If there is a really fun boulder but it is 3 grades too low to be fun for you, maybe add 20% bw so you can train on that boulder. Or if there is a boulder that you are stuck on, fiddling with your weight (lighter and heavier) may enable you to learn moves better and allow you to finish it.... though lighter is probably more useful here. In music when we learn a piece, we play it slower (lighter) and also faster (heavier) than intended in order to have our body fully understand the piece.

The US military in the 70s tried raising rats in a centrifuge to see if it'd produce super soldiers. Sadly, while the rats did get stronger, it seems like total muscle mass didn't go up much, the high-g rats simply had shorter limbs so better mechanical advantage. I did increase bone density and resistance to compressive force. So if you ever wanted to jump off a wall and land on your feet, its probably worth it.

Did u think of working on BigIsland with additional weight? Like doing single moves with progressive overload, small linkups? I imagine that could be a real game changer for specific training at your limits...

This could be a good way to train strength, but not power. Doing things slower is the opposite of what power training should look like :)

Funny😅! I just bought a weight vest yesterday and tried it right away. I came to the conclusion to use it once a week. Frankly I felt like my legs were most effected by the vest. Especially jumping down or falling off boulders is very uncomfortable.

I tried this a few years ago to force myself to climb with more control. Cant really be dynamic on every move with 40+lbs on your back. Saw a 3 grade improvement in 2 weeks on slab.

Now you know how it feels to be heavier and why it takes much longer for us to develop the needed strength.

I think using a weighted vest messes up your center of gravity so when you go back to climbing without things feel weird.

Looks very cool. Maybe worth having one training a week with it (or once every 2 weeks).

This may be good for power training, however keep in mind that tendons take a LONG time to acclimate. As you found out with your hips and knee.

I’ve been using a weighted vest for the last two weeks. Only using 20lbs though 45 seems insane😂, But what I realized is finding what grade is my limit with the vest and working that because it makes you really try hard compared to when not having the vest on that same grade,you just fly through it. But at the same time avoiding anything that I feel will risk injury. The way I see it if you climb with a weighted vest make climb as if you are brand new do all the low grades you possibly can.

perhaps the best way to utilize this would be more for hangboard/rungs training rather than actual boulder training

It would be interesting to see if the results change with a more fine grained approach. Say, if the vest weighted only 10 or 15 lbs. Or if you so added weights to your lower body somehow without limiting movement. Would the more accurately distributed weight increase training lead to strength improvement without technique deterioration? Would more weight signal the body more to lose weight than it would signal to become stronger? How does duration affect all these and what is the optimal time? Great video

Try adding 80kg and you get closer to what I'm dealing with. One thing you might not have realised is the increase in bulk around your torso would have limited your knee to chest moves, and thrown your centre of gravity off, which might explain why when you removed the vest you were a bit off. If you are ever in Australia and want to climb with someone at 160kg, let me know 😂

I totally thought about doing this to challenge my body, now that I've seen this video the answer just appeared. What if instead of just a vest, you apply weights to wrists, feet and also a vest, that way the overall extra kilograms would be spread evenly. I'm about to try that!

Do you think climbing with weights on legs instead would at all be useful when flagging, or would the drawbacks of added weight out'weigh' the benefits?

Just wondering, do you think you climb as well without it, meaning it kind of looks like the vest holds you out of position more. I am sure it would be good for building power, but I wonder if it sacrifices your form?

I have always thought to try thigs, though my idea was to start with 1kg and add weight aiming to remain at "Peak" performance or a benchmarked level.
