Training with Adam Ondra

We had an amazing training with @AdamOndra in Flatanger, in the barn where Adam and his team built this beautiful climbing wall. I followed Adam's training and it was extremely fun, tiring and helpful for the style of the cave.
We are waiting for your suggestions for the next training together!

The "subscribe please" while dying in the cold water made me burst out laughing ! Also Adam taking a selfie "for Jakob" haha

[@jakobjanen8109]

Especially when you know that Jakob Schubert is visiting right now aswell :D

[@thereasonabletroll68]

Gotta love the climbing community Adam is so happy to have someone trying his climb and wants to help them as best he can

[@trevorsesnic8162]

Adam probably wants to see Stefano on it more than no other, as he’s prolly the only climber that could confirm the 9c grade that Adam gave silence

[@johny.echevers]

@@trevorsesnic8162 I think the question at this point is whether it is harder than 9c or actually "just" 9c...

[@johnnylevek9757]

That, and I think Adam is there to try some projects of his own

[@bennettstone3784]

@@johnnylevek9757 this. Maybe Nordic Marathon, or maybe a linkup of the crux of science into p2 of another route

[@UnicycleSoul]

@@trevorsesnic8162 He's not the only climber at all. There's Seb Bouin for one and arguably also Alex Megos.

[@taker00]

This Adam guy moves quite well on the wall, he should give this climbing thing a chance, maybe try some competions or something...

[@SirZeck]

Agree, I think he has some potential for climbing, saw him teach a guy named Ondra 2 years ago, so I guess he is quite experienced.

[@brutalctg7654]

maybe he should try silence aswell

[@verbalwound5874]

Idk man I think he wouldn't win Olympics

[@Gytax0]

He literally climbed Silence, he was the first to do so and name the route as that

[@jagutichsachma]

I admire ondra for not gatekeeping silence. That dude is really nice and charismatic

[@ericconnor3728]

How did you find Adam? I can never find him when I look behind spray walls.

[@p_booth_fan]

It's like Candyman....you just gotta say "Silence" 3 times while looking in a mirror.

[@noone-ld7pt]

@@p_booth_fan This is true! But only do it if you are ready to project 9C, or else you will be haunted by an Adam ghost that power screams everytime you make a climbing move until you have completed 9C!

[@joleylight300]

It blows my mind we can see these top climbers in the world train and preform free for us to view. Get it Stefano!! Thanks for letting us watch your process and climbing! Best of luck on the wall and in life!

[@doruso5610]

Tbh other sports are just broken. This should be the norm

[@BastienAdrien]

I guess with the ads and the reach for the brands in the form of sponsorship it's absolutely worth it - I don't mind some ads and product placement - it's the "pricey wie pay for such amazing content 😎

[@firegodlive]

This series around silence is amazing.

[@samweiss3248]

It'd be funny if you and Adam reenacted that part in the Silence movie where he's on his back miming the crux moves with his trainer holding his foot... Except you'd be miming the moves and Adam would be holding your foot.

[@jens1525]

It's nice to see how Stephano, one of the best climbers in the world, approaches this goal of climbing the most difficult route in the world and gets advice from the master himself. I'm already looking forward to the next episode.

[@steghiso]

Thanks!

[@TheMysticalNinja65]

I love when Adam just keeps going in the background

[@scusi02]

It would be really cool if Erik Karlsson could film a video with you in flatanger because what he produces lately is really incredible.

[@kavali6320]

My thoughts exactly ;)

[@EricKarlsson]

Thank you for the love homies :) really psyched to see these films, quality has been really high!

@@steghiso Hi Stefano, I sent you a message on IG :)

[@honza4471]

I just have to say- your channel is awesome Stef! Been watching since the first bibliographie videos and I have to say the quality has gone wayyy up and it’s amazing to see! The cinematography, vibe and personality really shines in this Silence series. Please keep it up, we love it!

[@luigiantoniosquillante7913]

E' incredibile pensare che Adam stia aiutando Stefano nel completare la via che ad oggi lo pone al top al mondo. Per di più nella palestra che ha costurito e lasciato a disposizione di tutti. E' uno spirito di amicizia e cooperazione straordinario, un bellissimo messaggio per tutto il movimento dell'arrampicata.

[@lg9626]

anche per gli altri sport ed in generale per la competizione leale, dovrebbero tutti prendere esempio

[@N1CKczemN1CK]

In every gym there is that one guy who push u forward

[@Kyle_climbing]

One of my favorite ways to build fitness on these types of routes is to do “forced rests” where I climb around and keep the pump medium to high for 30 seconds to a minute, then make my way to the best rest on the wall, rest for 30 seconds, go again. I’ll do this to add up to 5 minutes or of climbing. It’s better than 4x4 or 3x3x3 because on a sport route you’ll never really completely disengage like you do for the other exercises.

[@randomperson8423]

Stefano is one of the best climbers ever but it’s crazy how much faster and more efficient Adam moves. He‘s just on another level and so much stronger

[@DaleTurrell]

" 🤳...to just send to Jakob" 😂

[@steghiso]

🥰

[@nandateme]

The speed ability of AO is so insane, how fast he moves and climbs always impress me. Great job Stef !! Can't wait for the 60k prank.

[@sethgilbertson2474]

So cool to see you and Adam training together! Great partnership!

[@dorksalami]

Probably my favourite climber :) Hope you send Stefano! I also would love to see you eventually try some of Seb Bouin's routes!

[@vickvick3710]

Loved the part when Adam sended the pic to Jakob. So thats how the real avengers comunicate

[@steghiso]

🔥🔥🔥

[@p_booth_fan]

I was just about to offer my help, but it's ok, I guess Adam is probably good enough 😅

[@diegoponce5423]

Hahaha

[@justingabriele3881]

Both of you should play a game of “Add On” - someone makes the first move on the spray wall, next person does that move and “adds one more”. Trade back and forth until someone fails

[@sevenxym]

These guys are special. I was smiling through pain when they said “Let’s do something not too hard. A 7b+”. Great training and mindset. And good luck with the Silence, Stefano!

[@vossa0]

Suggested training 3 + 3 Each of you will be adding 3 moves until you reach about 30 - 40 moves. Difficulty of the moves and quantity you reach should depend on what you want to train. Fist one to fall looses.

[@fluxrs1]

classic ! would be fun to watch them do it

[@francoisvercruysse7652]

With mandatory moves to include : 1 kneebar 1 feet first

[@leoingson]

Yeah, but that's not representing Flatanger climbing - boulder / rest / boulder / rest.

[@vossa0]

Sure, but could could imitate with Boulder then a few easy moves to rest, then another hard section... Etc Of course is not the same, but you can structure it in a way that could be using the same energy systems

[@zagortriplex100]

Two giants! Great!

[@kaizuhlsdorf5338]

So super cool to see both of you together!!❤️😍 love both channels a lot. So calming, decelerate aura that you two have. Looking foreward to see more collaborating videos!!!

[@Erilto]

Since crucks one is the main problem with its rotation and inverted climbing, maybe try to build on rotating body moves on the wall and body tension. Its so much Adams style and i think the key here to send it. Keep up the good work!

You and Adam are each great inspirations to other climbers, whatever our experience level. You have different styles, but are both so focused yet encouraging of one another. As a relatively new climber, I've learned a lot from you.

[@smuir6104]

You should get Magnus to come film it, and interview you projecting! I think he is the best filmer/climbing interviewer there is. I am hoping for a grade upgrade! it always seems to go the other way, just once I want to hear someone say this was way harder, it needs to go up. LOL still excited to see your opinion.

[@darrenmarrs6698]

I have been thinking the exact same thing. I half expect this in the coming years as more of the top climbers climb it and attempt it, as well as when more 9C routes get established

[@lukasb409]

I really love that it looks like the only way to climb the hardest route in the world is to train inside this cool barn. Great vibe from there. 💪 Perfect conditions to you 🙏

[@mbnto3135]

Training: crux specific progression? Do easy model, make harder(angle or weight), then when stronger do 3x3 on that? ( do you as a pro benefit from general power endurance or does it need to be specific eg to a specific crux?). Thanks both for leading the community by putting friendship and openness first.

Suggestion on plastic training before a day in the cave: - Keep the main part moderate to light - Make sure not to accumulate any lactic acid - do a light warm-up and a light warm down Seem like a good thing like to you did, to make it short. But maybe it was a little bit harder than it could have been? (Guess the stoke was high to have someone to train with!) The other plastic session before a rest day, I would make a lot harder, but off course training muscles that you don't use that much in the cave. I guess you don't just sit down throughout your rest day. Getting the blood flowing for half an hour usually has a very good impact on the recovery. Especially for someone as fit as you! I believe in your project! Really cool to follow you journey! Cheers

[@plabptng9]

Love it. So cool to see the supportive climbing culture extends to the very, very top. Maybe not the best training exercise, but then, given how weird the beta on silence is, maybe appropriate: come up with, and climb, the weirdest beta bouldering routes you can

Come allenamento potresti fare alcuni traversi da destra a sinistra e ogni volta usare prese di colore diverso. Potresti farlo per 10 volte e riposarti 15 secondi tra un traverso o l'altro ma se è troppo duro puoi aumentare il riposo a 30 o 45 secondi, in bocca al lupo Stefano, sono sicuro che c'è la farai nel tuo progetto.
