[@robertnguyen9493]

Jason Momoa seems like a genuine and honest guy. He doesn’t act like he knows more than he actually does, and he doesn’t say a bunch of bullshit about what he did to train and prepare and how “training got him into the mind of his character.” He just said, “the trainer told me to do this so I did it.” Also, he may not be an avid weightlifter but he’s grew up skateboarding, surfing and rock climbing so he’s been active his entire life so he may not get into the gym, but dude has been an athlete his entire life. Dr. Mike, this was a great video, thank you for the great content.

[@ruin3r]

What he really meant by that is he doesn't get into that shape if its not for a movie, because getting into that shape requires doing a steroid cycle and the guy probably wants to relax and not be blasting roids and lifting 365 days a year.

When he talks about dieting for a difficult climbing route, I think (and I could be wrong) that he specifically means dieting to lose weight, while maintaining or improving strength. I know that a lot of top climbers like Honnold and Midtbø have talked about pretty serious calorie restriction to reduce the amount of weight they're lugging around.

[@princeknight4773]

When you drop a load of weight before a climb that you have had to work for ages You feel like Spiderman.

I was talking to a former Samoan rugby player- he rarely did much work in the gym and no chest work as he was already too big. South Sea Islander genetics are just different. He was constantly battling his weight due to his love of beer and fast food but natural strength and explosive athleticism was undeniable.

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

I've found they struggle with body weight and tend to get fat if they overeat and aren't active BUT unlike most other groups of people they put on just as much muscle as fat and if they're genetically lucky or moderately active they pack on muscle without getting fat. My guess is that evolutionarily the most athletic/muscular/biggest people from these societies were the ones having the most kids, food was relatively abundant and they had active lifestyles focused on short bursts of power and effort. Basically they became geared towards being big and packing on muscle easily.

[@Monica-mm2vv]

Stepson is Hawaiian, Black, German, married a Hawaiian, Samoan woman. All of them are structurally sound. They do need to be careful, but majority of the population isn’t.

Climbing is also insane for your core. You do need to train pushing muscles separately, and shoulders, but it’s an insane workout and extremely fun. I love it.

[@AceRanger20]

You can say that again, greatest workout ever since it is just so fun!

[@lurklingX]

not to mention you have to have some serious strength to lug up that wall on certain holds AND flexibility. i started into climbing, got a taste. now i had to step back and work on some stuff in order to DO it. (a med made my weight jump up so it's effectively like starting a climb with an extra 40lb on not super strong upper body. get reckt.) bouldering specifically. anyway i like that you could take hard work in those two areas and have a place to apply it, and that you have challenges you work to defeating. it's like a practical use for the training and to me that is motivating. :)

Can confirm. I don't train anything separately. I feel like shoulders also train quite well while climbing.

As a climber I thought him using kettle bell swings was interesting because in our training heavy kettle bell swings is considered one of the worst things you could do for climbing. Also, for climbing strong legs that are strong when fully stretched and explosive when in cramped situations. So I’m training pistol squats everyday I climb.

[@1337skillzor]

yea, kettlebell swings are an awesome complementary workout for your "go" muscles. glutes, hamstrings, hip adductors, quads, lats, deltoids, core and even a little triceps, biceps, and forearm muscles. combined with high volume (4-5 sets of 25 reps or something like that) it's a great endurance exercise as well.
