Is gurning allowed or is the ethic to maintain a zen like state of calm in your facial expression?

[Nibile]

 
Gurning was allowed two years ago.

Nowadays I don't stay on the board for long enough to start gurning!

All the Udini team training vids are amazing, no wonder Jule never looks phased when there's a dyno or run and jump problem in the World Cups!

"Find something hard and repeat it until it's easy" (assume this series was linked earlier in the year)

[jwi]

His training certainly works, but as Udini himself pointed out: before someone is qualified for the national team they already know how to get stronger.

[Fiend]

Nice fun video that. It just about had enough Julie Wurm in it too

[a dense loner]

That video is cringeworthy and has absolutely nothing to do with how the team trains. They meet once every 2 mths to do this nonsense, which most take as a rest day. Udo needs locking up til the end of his days, if not later

[Nibile]

If I were Italy's youth climbing team coach, which luckily for them I am not, there would be only one style of training: lock the little bastards in a gym, feed them with campusing, fingerboarding, weights and bouldering, making them watch "A clockwork orange" every fucking night.
Then after a few months/years, release these hounds to take over the world in my name.

[Stubbs]

Nibs I think that approach would just land you with a team of Puccios: beast strong, but bound to fail come the first slab or run and jump problem! (Although I understand that this would probably not matter to you as long as they could all one arm their way up the steep problems )

[Muenchener]

Having watched The Pooch live in competition in Munich in 2012 and this year, I would say she looked streets better on the slabbier/techier problems this year than she did two years ago. And her overall comp results would seem to reflect that too.

[Nibile]

I absolutely do not trust anyone wo takes talented athletes to train and then pretends to have some merit.
Those jumps and sideways dynos are a perfect way to injure even the fittest youth.
Back around Udo what have you done on my board?

[fried]

And I always had you pegged as a human-pyramid type dude

[Stubbs]

Those jumps and sideways dynos are a perfect way to injure even the fittest youth.

Only in the same way crimping is, i.e. you work up to it and don't just try something really hard.

^Was just about to post this. Great little vid.

The training sequences aren't that spectacular, but for once we see a top climber actually talking about what her full programme consists of, rather than just somebody strong doing a couple of impressive looking exercises in isolation.

Not sure where this should go, but this is a little video a friend of mine put together for Moon about his moonboard project of using LED's instead of tape.
