The World's Best Climbers Do THESE Exercises (ft. Tom Randall & Ollie Torr)

[@matthewsevers5862]

Appreciate you all trying to simplify the mountain of training advice that’s out there currently. It can be quite overwhelming to sort out what to focus on when there are so many options and ideas. I’ve adopted the mindset of basing my training on my goals and keeping it simple. Sticking with something for 4-6 weeks, then reevaluating.

Crying with laughter at you two clearly being in the same room. Bravo, very funny

[@kaimitchellbrantley4048]

These are great! Thank you for sharing!

Are you guys talking to each other in the same room but have your laptops open like it's a Zoom call? Weirdos! ;)

[@areteclimbing]

😂 I'm guessing it's just an easy way to have the two front on shots, without requiring another 2 cameras.

[@mikafull]

Think they don't zoom call, maybe they just record with the Webcam. Guess there is reason for this setup

[@erlebniskollektiv5132]

It's a very new tool, called Room call..It's gonna be a thing!

Very interesting topic, thanks !

I would recommend Lu raises. They were developed by an olympic weight lifter called Lu Xiaojun and they are a massive game changer. They work multiple heads and imporve scapular coordination and stability. Lateral raises are heavily overrated and I would try replacing them with Lu raises.

[@jakobkugel1108]

hi, i have heard of this, but is there any evidence this is a sensible exercise?

[@tartantulakid666]

@@jakobkugel1108 Like with most exercises, you have to try it yourself. They are relatively new so I doubt that there is a massive amount of data available from researchers. I used to get pain from bench pressing and I stopped getting it after doing 2 sessions of Lu raises per week for the past months. Lateral raises are okay at best but most people consider them a staple movement when they really aren't. You can grow your side delts from a lot compound movements. I will say from personal experience that they are a little tricky to do correctly as you have to understand how to move your arms and shoulder blades to get the correct stimulus. But then again my body coordination wasn't good to begin with.

Tom's laptop is amazing.

Hey guys, thoughts on the effects of sprinting for recovery for boulderers? I've been implementing it in my workout under the theory that it produces human growth hormone and I've been feeling stronger. Obviously, it's quite intense on the hamstrings so I wouldn't recommend training it in the same weak as deadlifting? Is there any research you know of in relation to this?

[@howtotom]

Hey, so I've noticed that when you are demonstrating lower body exercises the rom is what we would I the lifting community as a a half rep, why? Surly it's better to demonstrate a full rom e.g. the cossack squats in this video and the back squats in the developing power video. I have a few theory's but they do not reflect well on you guys so I would love to hear a altruistic reason.

magnifique

I learnt nothing new from this. It's common sense that a lot of gym climbing especially world cup comp requires strong shoulders. Basically all he is saying is that he implements shoulder exercises in his athletes (note:athletes). What he's touching down on is just basic exercises that most bodybuilders, gymnasts, gym rats, boxers, wrestlers etc all apply to their training. You don't need to do any of these exercises to become a better outdoor rock climber, will obviously help you become a better indoor gym climber though.

You lost me at the vomiting unicorn. What is up with that? Who puts that on a laptop?
