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.

[@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.

[@cartoonhanks1708]

[@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.

[@deraluhut5621]

Funny thing. Just found Hooper's Beta yesterday and already bingewatched the most to see the doctor appear here. Can totally recommend their channel, especially the core exercises to create own routines with ;)

[@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

[@rutniktrainer]

Wrist rolling is great but get some fat grips too. Do hammer curls and reverse curls with dumbbells using the fat grips on the handles.

[@Faitheist1652]

Hooper's Beta is invaluable

[@oguzhantukuc1997]

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

[@joedagoe9952]

Thank you for this video!

[@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.

[@khalilnieves7137]

Great vid!

[@thematt5325]

I mostly do them straight-armed with light weight. Feels awkward with elbows bent and my forearms always fatigue before shoulders. Anything over 10 pounds seems like overkill to me.

If you box this seems like it will be really good to help prevent wrist injury’s

[@GraveRave]

[@chodaidiii]

any difference in rolling towards vs away from you?

[@bobmarley8644]

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...

Could you do a before after picture when you did the one arm pullup? It would be interesting to see how the visuals changed

[@chrishansen8026]

Probably didn’t change that much, he’s already very light and skinny so he already had a low fat percentage meaning no definition or little definition would be added. These movements don’t necessarily add that much muscle

Well-Happy New Year! gift - the gift of self improvement. Awesome video as always. Darn it - rollers are sold out 😖 but I will wait for it. 🤩 Nay sayers are a waste of time and F them-over compensating for their own inadequacy. The power of believing in something works is more powerful than the act; “You are the Placebo - making your mind matter”, Dr. Joe Dispenza, was a great book. We never really know how much we limit our potential with self imposed obstacles. So as usual, you got me (wrist) rolling (with it). 🤣🙏
