I am confused. Why do he add weight when he still need to jump off the floor to break the dead hang?

Good one Jwi

Great to combine the French start with a solid negative. What he's doing is a good progression towards the OAP.

No one-armers there! Can't believe he's posted that.

And not a single OAP was made that day.
What I find even worse than cheating, is the load of cr*p that is given as training advice.
The "Do this for x weeks, then add 10 kg for x weeks..." etc. is complete and utter bullshit.
Not taking into account relative bodyweight, serious periodization, antagonist training (good luck in doing negatives without some really strong triceps...), other types of training, etc. is in fact misinformation.

To anyone with any experience that is painfully obvious. What’s not nice about this sort of codswallop is the potential to mislead and injure people who are inexperienced. If you really want to upset yourself Nibs, try a few ‘Expert Village’ videos, the ones I saw took bad to a whole other level, especially the Bachar ladder one, that must have been sponsored by surgeons with spare theatre time.

Quite chocking in fact, but not as hilarious as the combo of dabbing the floor and adding weight when doing a pullup.

(I knew that the video was heading for cheating tactics when it was suggested that being able to do a single rep with 133% of bodyweight was sufficient to start one arm work.

Jesus, he basically sat down half way through the problem!

Classic stuff.

Stu Littlefair · April 30, 2018, 09:49:50 am

the dab is a great deal less offensive than the beta-stream

finbarrr · May 13, 2018, 08:31:44 am

i don't know wether this is supposed to show how to climb the boulder or how to not climb the boulder!?!?

The comically innapropriate music, the edit, the socks, the dabs, the spotter who disappears between angles; that clip has it all.

I love how the lyric “knocking me out with those American thighs” coincides with his full-on leg smear on the adjacent block.

Exceptional!

There's actually some incredible dabs at the start of the video, but it does say that it's the blokes first time climbing outdoors so I cut him some slack. There may have been other dabs within the video but I couldn't watch it all the way through due to its excruciating nature.

What these sponsored wads achieve is beyond belief.

boulderingnoobs. Those guys are legends.

Suspect they've got a duff sequence on that "bathang" problem

tomtom · May 14, 2018, 02:29:29 pm

they do state in the youtube blurb under the video that they have to scrape/dab the mat - so cut them some slack

Will Hunt · May 14, 2018, 03:25:50 pm

Well they say that, but then matey (who's on his first time climbing outdoors) then gets a seemingly dab-less "second ascent" by doing it without pads. So really, that's the FA.

Obviously this all hinges on whether this counts as a rock climb and, therefore whether it is an A at all, first or otherwise. This is Lancashire though, so I guess you have to cut them some slack there as well.
