What do you call Frenchies? That's what I'd thought of them as, not that I ever do them.

I just kept on thinking on many of the exercises that a good number of people would end up with screwed elbows if they trained like this.

Bit disappointed - I read the thread title as training for 'climbing videos' rather than 'training for climbing' videos.

I was eagerly expecting some insights into valuable techniques to look good on video such as how to flash the flesh while avoiding nipple rash, how to teach your dog to walk past looking cute just before you go for the crux and the ever essential facial warm-ups for maximum gurning.

By that logic you should have called your current dog 'Lemming'.

I thought this was going to be about training yourself to watch progressively harder problems so you don't fall off mentally from being impressed. I like to start with Stick It and then progress through the dosages as this provides a good gradual increase in maximum grade but with little change in quality. This got me from watching 8A to 8C in less than a few hours.

Saw the title for this thread a while ago and though: " This time they've gone too far."

Had some time on my hands and found myself here watching one, then another and so on.

I came to realise i may say i train and even scribble it down in a notebook to make it look official but in reality i do very little ( for that read f&%k all).

I know not everyone is, or wants to be, Edu Marin or Magnus but seeing how hard people work just for the love of it and the love of climbing is pretty inspiring.

It made me get off my arse today anyway.

Great Videos, but I gotta nitpick about the terminology

Both videos are about endurance training(one for long routes, one for short but hard routes,) not Stamina, which is generally thought of as the ability to recover quickly from a climb.

Increased Stamina lets you get in more routes in a day, more problems in a session. More ("power")Endurance lets you climb longer, harder routes.

Megos is like 19 years old. His coach seems to works quite a lot with Volket Schoeffl, without knowing I'm guessing Megos did very little campusing when he was a kid. (Megos coach wrote a great article for IX+/X-.nu)

Of course not, but he goes on about the pros/cons of his height.  And then I see that, and think holy F^&*(ing hell that move is insanely huge.  Then I thought about my reach, and then I thought about his discussion about his feet cutting and just training foot off since they always came off anyways, which when related to his height/length, makes alot of sense.  Then I thought about the fact I should actually do more campus bouldering as my biggest weakness is that dynamic multi directional power.  Then I thought again-holy F&*#  his reach is crazy and I'm totally jealous.  Then I thought about the fact that he is that tall and can do those crazy front levers, then I quit thinking about it becasue I was overwhelmed, and could only mutter incoherently about his insane reach.........

That is amazing... I'm 6 3, with an inch or two +ve ape index and anything involving pull ups, dynamic pull ups, lock offs (attempted) is really hard. I pull the long levers excuse.

Even better that he just ticked off loads of out door stuff and won a WC comp.

Too right. Experienced climbers know how to climb, its physical attributes that are going to get them up harder stuff. 

I recall doing a karate class with legendary hard man Terry O'Neill years ago. He was a 5th Dan at the time, and said he had started weight training because he felt he had got as far as perfecting technique was going to get him. He said we shouldn't, because we had no technique to speak of yet and should be focusing on that. Makes sense for climbing too I think: learn to climb first then get stronger. I'm still firmly in Phase One.

He was a 5th Dan at the time, and said he had started weight training because he felt he had got as far as perfecting technique was going to get him. He said we shouldn't, because we had no technique to speak of yet and should be focusing on that. Makes sense for climbing too I think: learn to climb first then get stronger. I'm still firmly in Phase One.

I agree that's why I said experienced climbers.

Anyway, I disagree with the idea of campusing or fingerboarding after a one hour long bouldering warm up. I think that it's far too much for a warm up, and pretty useless also.
From what I know, it's best to tailor the warm up on the specific session, so no need for bouldering if then you don't boulder.
One other thing is, for instance, doing some 30 moves circuits for increasing pulse, blood flow and temperature. But 30 moves circuits are something that I can barely conceive, let alone do...

Feels weird disputing someone who probably climbs way harder than mel but  im fairly certain this video shows exactly how NOT to deadhang.

Totally hanging off your skeleton like that is a good way to f up your shoulders. I'm guessing he's doing it because he's hanging ridiculuous weight

more info here: http://static-dev-climbing.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Hangboard-101.jpg (http://static-dev-climbing.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Hangboard-101.jpg)

The shoulders should be engaged, and the elbows slightly as well.

I have to say, I disagree with the bit in the first video about avoiding using good technique. Avoiding using good technique like drop knees when they're the easiest way to climb a move is just teaching yourself to be shit at climbing IMO. I see the point, but if you want a move to be basic then just set a move that can't be tricked - eliminate the foothold you can dropknee off or use all worse feet or whatever, don't just climb the move with a shit method and engrain that shit method into your climbing style.
EDIT: just actually watched it properly rather than listened to it whilst looking at something else. seems like they're more going with what I'm saying anyway...

Since indoor footholds are a bit blobby you're able to do more egyptianing even on tiny feet than outside , so it makes sense that if you are training for the outdoors  rather than sending on plastic, the stuff pointed out in the video could be a way to train that kind of strength and technique.

When did you last see someone do a drop knee on a hard indoor bouldering problem? Most indoor problems are long pulls on gigantic (relative to outdoors) holds. Dropping the knee limits the reach so just about the only time I see people do this indoor are on stamina circuits or on the lead wall.

Enjoy the drop knees while they last before the knees get fucked with old age (but I am not bitter...  :ras: )

Er, loads of times. Also a drop knee does not limit the reach, it all depends where the foot holds are. Using a drop knee on a high foothold can increase reach over using the foothold 'normally'.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: andy_e on June 11, 2013, 09:14:49 am
I used to use drop-knees all the time indoors (my current local wall doesn't ever set problems which require them). They pull your body closer in to the wall, giving you a much longer static reach as it makes locking down on holds a load easier. They're also great fun!
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: Nibile on June 11, 2013, 11:21:36 am
I genuinely think that drop knees, heel hooks, toe hooks, bicycles and the likes are a recipe for weakness. I don't want to offen anyone though: I always heel hook, toe hook, etc, OUTSIDE, when I want to climb something. If I'm indoors, I don't care to "send", I care to fail, otherwise it's useless.
That's how I set my board: you can't do any of those tricks that help you climb a problem.
I don't think that by doing this way one learns bad technique. I find heel hooking, etc, pretty natural when I'm on rock.
I can't drop knee for shit, though. But I've never failed on a problem because I could not drop knee.

So, for me there is a big distinction between: being on rock, when I want to complete a problem (anything goes, technique wise); being on plastic having fun with friends, or in a rare competition (anything goes); being on plastic training (no tricks, I'm there to fall off).

Post by: abarro81 on June 11, 2013, 12:14:59 pm
That's how I set my board: you can't do any of those tricks that help you climb a problem.

Possibly some crossed wires here. That's what I'm saying is good if you want to eliminate 'tricks' - setting up your board so that they can't be used (e.g. all the footholds are too shit or don't point sideways at all) or setting particular moves where the basic method is the only method. The thing I think is shit training is if you can do a move easily with, say, a drop knee, but you decide not to use it even though you're using the same footholds which allow you to do it that way. Thus teaching yourself to climb that style of move with shit technique, so when you encounter it outdoors your response - consciously and from muscle memory - will be to use that method. Probably less of an issue for boulderers unless you're well into flashing stuff, but knowing instinctively when to drop your knee or bust out a heel is pretty damn useful for onsighting and doing routes quickly.

That's what I was going to say, luckily I re-read your post.
I think that it's important to know what you're doing and why you're doing it.
Also, bouldering and power endurance routes are very different. You can probably miss a toehook and still climb a boulder problem, but if you miss it on a long route, you could just fall three moves later.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: SEDur on June 12, 2013, 01:16:02 am
While I don't deny that campusing and open style training is very important...

I have noticed that the only training video i have seen so far with an almost acceptable warm-up, belonged to the Spanish climber.

Rant:

NSFW  :
Coincidently; Ms Coxsey and Mr  Web-Parsons have been known to have reasonable lay-offs caused by finger injuries.
Finger injuries are so damn common these days, and yet the topic is missed from these videos.
If I had a dime for every 'beast' I have seen, whimpering about from damaged pulleys...
The funny side being that these are the people who will come here and say 'blah, its not necessary. I just turn up and campus everything'. In effect, if you warm-up like the moron in the asana video, that is a great way to bust your tendons.
Also, Paxti said in one interview 'i don;t do anything special to warm up'. It is not impossible to connect this to the re-occurring neck injury that made him quit competition climbing.


Just to play devils advocate; can you please show me someone who can climb harder than Font8A, that has never used a drop-knee or the like... I am pretty sure if you stalk whatever pro climber while they train on a board, at some point they will use technique.

NSFW  :
Also, considering if you watch videos by all of these athletes; they use the moves you are on about avoiding on their training boards.
Dave Macleod's home-board video for example. If you can show me a hero who can climb harder then Macleod while only ever climbing strait on, I will retract this statement.

Malcolm smith uses three drop-knees on his 'hubble with a start and a finish', from the splinter video. The whole point of that problem is training for hubble...

Plus, these people have been crushing in the 8s for years...


As I see it; it is all well and good being a powerful climber, but if you have not the technique to apply the power to then you will be as shit as the next plastic swinger. If you don't train technique with power, you will never use it properly and will fail with or without muscle. Hire one of these guys (or ladies) for a day, and I am pretty sure you will get shown that your technique is failing you (not your shoulder strength). I am also sure that any pro will tell you that training purely strength is a good way to get injured, if you aren't conditioned for such training. Lest we forget periodisation, you simply cannot do the same as this training forever.

It doesn't have to be all or nothing. why not just do this training once a week?

Just like you would do a bit of fingerboard, campusing or core training in addition to the main diet of climbing lots, you could do "open" training once a week and gain the benefits without programming yourself to climb like a chump.

I did it this week and it is an immense core workout and great for learning dynamic movement on steep stuff so i dont think it can be dismissed.

Because i was specifically training open and not milking the footholds, I was able to do it even when holds were in a less-than-optimal setup at the gym. Not everyone has a homeboard they can tweak to make the exact problems they want.

There is a lot that could be picked apart in your post, but I'll start with this one.  Top climbers get injured as all top athletes do. Even the grand high lord of technique MacLeod has had a lot of injuries including fingers.

All these good climbers warm up, Shauna even did a video for Adidas just about warming up.

That's because warming up would be bloody dull to watch on a training video! I think Patxi probably meant that he just warmed up normally like everyone else, not that he doesn't warm up; that would be my reading of it anyway.

Personally I was pretty surprised to the intensity levels and quite how gassed Woods got and how they kept pushing on!?!
I see the idea and to highlight his current levels of fitness and climbing fatigued, but I think could lead to more damage than good - injury etc?

Should I do so much low-weight, many reps resistance training, I'd put up a ton of beef and could fit no more under the bunched sitstarts of all my projects.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: ghisino on February 28, 2014, 11:24:58 am
just to put it into context:
that's supposed to be "Préparation Physique Générale", in other words the first 2-4 weeks of the training season just after the post comp season rest, where the french conventional wisdom (in any sport) is that you should do a big volume of low-to-mid intensity, non-specific work.

quite boring, especially without any twist in the format*, but possibly a useful kickstart if your plans for the following months are to train/climb at high volumes AND intensities.

It would be interesting to know if non-french successful athletes also follow a similar approach and how they put it into practice.

for Nibs: i bet that if you just eat  a big green salad with one teaspoon of dressing and 30 grams of bread you won't put up any beef no matter how many low intensity reps you do  ;D



*for instance: i recall reading that the french bouldering team had a day on a military training course in camo suits, with the army instructor shouting at them, etc...probably more fun than this vid

It's not that bad, but once you stepped on my board, it's a no turning back thing.
It being 7 seconds away from my espresso machine, cookies (Hi Dave!  :jab:), chocolate, supplements, TV, stereo and shower is an added bonus.
Plus, you can't toehook, heelhook, dropknee, go-again with same hand, and skip moves (Hi Michele! :jab:). Basically, you can't do anything but pull. Oh, you can't climb my projects, also.

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.

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 ;) )

Do you know the guy Nibs?

There's nice quote from (I think) one of the Anderson brothers (Rockprodigy, Rock Climber's Training Manual), something like “training is about going as close to injury as possible without actually getting injured”. I suspect amibitous climbers err more on the side of “as close as possible …”, whereas a doctor might focus more on the “without” part.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: gme on January 19, 2015, 10:13:33 am
He points out the usual thing about not training in a crimped position on a fingerboard. This seems to be the general consensus but i have started doing some(not all) of my hangs in a crimped position as this is by far the weakest link in my climbing (fingers wise anyway).

I have always been much better open handed than crimped to the point where I hardly ever crimp a hold and cant hold things crimped that i can easily hold open handed. i am convinced this must be a muscular thing and therefore i need to train it by crimping as doing things half crimped or open just does not work as i just get stronger in those positions.

Has anyone else done this?

Bransby is the same, he seems to get along fine by just open handing everything.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: Nibile on January 19, 2015, 10:24:39 am
No, I don't know him, I only frequent handsome people.  ;D (Sorry couldn't resist...)

Of course his advice is on the very very cautious side, but I strongly disagree with a couple of things that he says about fingerboarding. He posted that video on Planetmountain's forum, and a guy asked him about the dangers of never training the full crimp prehension.
He never replied, and I found it pretty unfair: once you post something on a forum, the least you can do is to reply to questions, especially if it's your profession.
Anyway, his advice of always training openhanded is, in my humble and non professional opinion, wrong.
First, because when you pull openhanded (using only the catch of the pulp on the edge of the hold), the finger is already completely stretched and the pulleys aren't engaged, so the risk of injury is very high, because as long as the skin catches, you can keep pulling beyond the tendon's strength. It's as if you had a finger stuck in a hole and you dangle from it: no joints angles, no pulleys engagement, but you'll rip the tendon.
On the other hand, when half or fully crimped, when you reach the limit the finger opens up and you are forced to let go.

Second, not training the crimp will not strengthen the pulleys and the joints. So, you put yourself at the risk of injury the very first time that you have to crimp.
I think that, in fact, the best environment to train the full crimp is precisely the fingerboard, on which you can slowly put pressure on the fingers, choose an even hold, etc.

I'm also much stronger open handed than in half- or full-crimp. I have worked on-and-off for 2 years on getting my half-crimp and full-crimp up to par, but I can still take much more weight on a medium-sized edge in the open hand position.

i find, though, that his very cautious advice is generally good for those who are relatively new to climbing and fingerbparding/campus, which in some venues are the majority of campus and fingerboard users!!!
(really: in one gym next to paris for instance, the average campus boarder is at best barely able to do 1-3-5 on closer-than-standard jug rungs, always unable to do 1-2-3 on standard 1.5 pad rungs, and does so with horrible form and very poor coordination)

also : nibs, the priority for most of them is learning that the open-hand and half crimp grips exists, and generally speaking how to properly put their fingers around the holds. Teaching beginners i see a lot of "natural born squeezers/crimpers" and very few natural "wide-pinchers" and open-handers.

it is also not true, imho, that open-handing always puts zero stress on the pulleys and as a result doesn't reinforce (nor damage) them. I know people who completed a partial pulley tear while pulling a two finger pocket...

i agree that controlled crimping on a fingerboard is a good idea, but mostly for the advanced group: those who already have a fair amount of training experience, who open-hand whenever possible, and need to be ready for the occasional nasty crimp.

the videos above seem clearly not aimed at this group.

what i do not like is how some things are left untold.
In the last bit there is an interesting discussion about strenghtening muscle vs other tissues. But instead of suggesting that one should not attempt high intensity/low volume without a proper low intensity/high volume base, we are left with the impression that any proper strenght training is plain stupidity and a sure path to injury.

The bit I took home most from this video was about bending arms whilst deadhanging/campusing etc... I thought bent arms meant tensed and not completely straight - obviously 10-15 degrees is quite a bit different. I also found it interesting how hitting a hold bent armed (especially dynamically) meant you were far more in control - and this should be something to aim for... makes complete sense to me - but had somehow slipped past me in all the years (though Lagers always told me off for not bending my arms enough..)

The point about the supportive structure of tendons, pulleys etc making adaptions at moderate loads is an interesting one. I haven't heard this anywhere else, so perhaps some additional opinions from those in the know could shed some light on this. Perhaps it could be worth a post in the Physio Clinic thread.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: krymson on January 26, 2015, 03:12:06 am
It makes sense in some ways.

For the first half of this year I climbed pretty much nothing but trad and moderate sport. When my trad partner left the country i got back into challenging sport and I found while my bouldering power decreased,  I could rest off crimps that a year ago id be pumping out on -- and i was no longer getting pulley strains every time i crimped hard.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: Nibile on January 31, 2015, 12:53:41 pm
I'm not sure that true climbing can be used as a reference respect this aspect. By climbing lots you surely have improved your technique and smoothness, along with stamina, so this had surely an impact on your ability to put less effort on the fingers and get less pumped.
I know that the body responds to stimulus, so it will adapt proportionally to the stimulus we give. I don't see why moderate loads will produce the same adaption as high loads. He should motivate and clarify.
Tendons, capsulae, etc, being less vascularized take more to adapt than muscles, so a very strong muscle could cause problems to a yet not enough adapted tendon, but again I can't see the reason to what he says.
Moderate training is going to give you moderate gains.

Another aspect, is about what I read on T-Nation (yes, I read it a lot) about not training "on the nerve" too often.
The high nervous stress caused by training at the limit takes longer to recover, so it's good to train also sub-max.
Will try to search for some more info.

Briefly put, that videos are a doctor's point of view. They are over cautious obviously and aimed at avoiding injuries. This detracts from a pure sports performance advice.
Just my opinion.

here i am  ;D

his point is that low intensity/high volume stimulates tendinous structures more than muscles' max strenght.
So sessions or cycles of low/high should avoid the problem you mentioned (muscle stronger than tendon) and make high/low sessions possible.

improved injury prevention is indeed one of the expected benefits of volume intensive phases in the beginning of a traning calendar.

I don't know which scientific studies, if any, support this rather widespread wisdom.

I've made four small videos about one-footed bouldering, if anyone is interested. I'll link here just the first one.
HTH.

Very nice videos.   :clap2:

Any thoughts on how working on one footed climbing crosses over to improvements in strength or technique?

As I wrote in the description of the first video, climbing using just one foot requires different movement patterns and body positioning, plus every placement requires a footless move so you need to be quick and precise, and the footless bit works your arms, fingers and core. I always try not to swing out.

Very clear, and no doubt very useful for people who train at odd times and/or own their own climbing walls. I’m not sure how I would go about putting it into practice at a public wall on a weekday evenng.

Also, I’m not sure if there actually is such a thing as a circuit six grades below my onsight level.
Title: Re: Training for climbing videos
Post by: ghisino on January 26, 2016, 10:12:36 am
six grades obviously means six "+"?

like, if you onsight 7a, six grades lower will be 6a.

Otherwise 6a will be good for someone onsighting 8a, which seems a bit too much no matter how low-intensity you want it to be...

This is a very good point. I used to train continuous climbing and long strength endurance on rope in the gym, and it usually works if you do it with someone else and is totally oblivious to social codes and cues. Short strength endurance, on the other hand, is extraordinary difficult to train indoors except on very odd times.

One of my local walls has a big outdoor routes area where (almost) nobody goes in winter. I sometimes go out there and ARC up and down starts of routes. It’s ok if it’s dry-cold and I remember to pack a fat belay jacket for the rests. If it’s cold and at all damp, though, then it’s a good opportunity to train tolerance for screaming barfies and I usually give up quickly.
