IMPOSSIBLE HANDSTAND BOULDER | Movement Lab#2

Alex and Chris are testing a new boulder this time, which Alex had to face during the (CWIF) finals in Sheffield. A handstand boulder that has it all. Maybe a good idea for upcoming worldcups or too far away from bouldering?
Write in the comments what you think how you liked it and feel free to suggest ideas for furture Movement Lab Series. As always, please refrain from making stupid comments and just watch other videos, if you don't like ours. Our suggestions: Stefano and Adam have good ones too ;-)

Lucky me a new Megos video!

[@ornithoptermum]

und chris is in it too

[@michaelgrant6332]

seeing the entire genesis of a problem from idea through setting and climbing was fascinating just like the rest of this channel. this is one of the best climbing channels on yt.

[@mizu84]

was fun to watch! very interesting to see the progress how the boulder was created 🧠

[@kaiamartin8059]

i love alex's logic that if you can stand with feet you can stand with hands

[@pierlouramade6811]

Great concept, really interesting as a setter to see what makes a specific move possible/how to force it. I'd have liked to see how to continue it nicely. For a next one maybe a 180 on one foot

[@climbing_thomas]

DIESE SERIES IST AWESOME!

[@mattiasgonczi]

Cool, now i want to see it built as the best beta in the middle of a lead-route!

[@joshvon1214]

loving the movement lab series

[@carlherner9458]

movement lab really fun to watch!

[@hnrjdt1155]

Another great and super interesting video ! Keep it up !💪

[@alinabinias1199]

love how funny u guys are

[@KidRivers]

I’d like to see a video about your A4 and some of the things you did to rehab it leading up to the OQS. 🙏

[@user-bx4zq7fx7e]

That spray wall looks so sick!

[@6996Gunslinger]

A forced bathang in the middle of the boulder would be great to see

[@Ronnewobel]

peak athletic performance. really impressive.

[@KB97412]

Super idée ce Movement Lab ! Pourriez-vous faire des tutos pour ouvrir des mouvements classiques à apprendre lorsqu’on début l’escalade ? Ou montrer des principes permettant d’induire ou de forcer certains mouvements ? Aussi j’adore ces chaussures noires et roses ! Quel est le nom du modèle ??😅 Bonne continuation

[@enricokohler475]

They recently set a handstand boulder in my gym, inspired by the one Alex showed on his phone -> hands down, coolest boulder at the gym right now!

[@MrWill830]

Maybe try to force a figure 4 move on your next movement lab lol. Difficulty : Impossible

[@aliyaclare]

Strength, flexibility and ridiculous core control!

[@Colin_Barnes]

banger!

[@1Joren]

I mean, whenever a new type of move hits the competitive stage, the competitors who've done it before have an advantage. It was the same with crack climbing and Adam doing it in Meiringen and showing the Japanese crew the technique. Not exactly a level playing field I suppose but I do really appreciate innovation in the bouldering scene, with regards to new moves. Also keeps competitors on their toes to learn moves they see go viral on instagram coz some route setter may decide to throw it into a comp

[@user-pj1ws8fn9w]

great

[@paulheimweh]

I would be interested on watching build a oldschool style slab boulder, slightly overhanging and with the smallest crimps and footholds as possible. Just because i am working on a limestone boulder right now and it feels still impossible because the crimps are so sharp and tiny and the footholds so small and slippery...I never saw stuff like that in plastic. So, what are the smallest crimps you have in plastic 🥸 ?

[@sealpiercing8476]

Huh. Very interesting to see someone work through a problem of how to try to cause a specific maneuver to be the easiest way to do a boulder.

[@colemantrebor6574]

"Very physical. If you've done it once or twice you will have a huge advantage over someone who hasn't done it before. It's very dimension dependent." Sounds like crack climbing.

[@theuslopes]

He looks like an FF15 character haha

[@Worldslam23]

great content and exploring thank you guys :) but the handstand doesnt look forced at all from the strarting position, you can always spring dynamically from the starting hold and make use of the good holds on the right bottom volume with your feet and catch the highest handhold with your thumbs right? I just can't see how this start should force you to handstand... but maybe it's just that i'm on my computer and not in front of the boulder haha! please let me know what you think of the forcing movement issue on boulders :)

[@Simssss888]

How to hard crack boulders (different versions, like handcrack, sidepulling, with/without tiny footsteps or slab feet)

[@duuplo]

Poor Dai Koyamada :(

[@MaartenHunink]

For those wondering which handstand boulder he was referring to: kzbin.infozxnJExZn71s?feature=shared&t=4525

[@pugbread2873]

Awesome move! What would you grade this if it ended with a match on the yellow?

[@alexandermegosAM]

Very hard to grade! It's probably only 7C or even easier, but I reckon most climbers who can climb much harder will not flash it or do it in 5 minutes

[@ricotrejo4125]

Remind me of Magnus handstand boulder

[@Fred-oz3tw]

its kind of a one arme planche in the beginning of the move. thats why chris said its harder than a one arm handstand :D

[@Fred-oz3tw]

so thats not parcour in bouldering. its calisthenics in bouldering.

[@normantheforeman8323]

Alexs laughs like elon musk :D

[@Tony94Topcat]

Are they climbing shorts or swimming trunks?

[@RockClimberAlex]

25:15 If I see a handstand boulder anywhere I already knew what to do. Move on to something else.

[@ooqui]

The video was fun to watch, but the audio can still be improved.

[@smitty_werben_jagger_man_j3381]

13:52 Werner Herzog

[@marekvocka2100]

where do you buy your climbing clothes

[@doruso5610]

Isn‘t the height just dangerous for chris?

[@groghnash]

since you dont like it: coordination dyno where its not physically hard, but you need to transition between 4-5 different bodypositions fluidly and in one go ;)

[@Jonne337]

Ich würd mich ankacken, müsste ich auf einem Volumen einen Handstand machen. Aufgrund dessen bitte ich euch um ein Video zum Handstand.
