How to Get Back into Climbing Shape - Mini Training Cycle

----------------------
WAYS TO SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL:
----------------------

With climbing gyms re-opening around the world, many of us have mixed feelings about getting back on the wall. It’s been a long three months, and lack of access to climbing specific training has deconditioned our bodies a bit. Like most of you, I’m itching to try hard and pull again, but this moment of transition back to our sport requires a bit of self-control and preparation.

This video will go over a short training cycle that is designed to get us back into climbing shape. The aim is to briefly touch on all the aspects of climbing skill and fitness while minimizing the risk of over training.

“Work on 3 grades below your flash level”. Me: negative V1 it is then

Always love the atmosphere and music of your videos, have really helped a beginner climber like me to get started to learn what and what not to focus on. Keep up the great work!

In england, pubs are opening before climbing gyms or any indoor gyms :-(

Local gyms just reopened 3 days ago, perfect timing!

Also, congrats on the sponsor

I love the style of your videos! I'm always learning something new. Would you mind eventually doing a video on the art of falling? Just got back to the climbing gym recently and I'm noticing my fear of falling has heightened after not climbing for a while + having a scary fall outdoors. I have lower spinal issues (from snowboarding in the past) and I think it's more sensitive right now since I haven't been able to train my back/core muscles as much. Would be really helpful to know your thoughts on the subject. Thank you!

I found that my stamina and strength have completely disappeared however, my technique has vastly improved and I'm climbing way better. Just.... the pump comes so fast.

Great video actually! Will follow the routine now, when I`am back into climbing gym after 3 months :)

Any thoughts on finding an intermediate shoe or the best rubber options? Thanks!

[ibraelgu]

Thank you very much for sharing your routine with us

Do you define flash level as the level where you always flash or where you have the potential to flash?

[bogdansofiea]

Very good, just that I would take each week you have said in a 3-4week blocks or I would do each category of training for 2-3 weeks

Surprised that no hair product companies haven't started sponsoring him yet. I mean ... look at this hair!

[jorgerusailh]

I watched one of your old videos and someone mention regripping, I observed your movements with more attention and only notice that sometimes you made some minor adjustment in your hand's positions. Is regripping that thing? Thanks.

How do you warm up your fingers to prevent injury?

[WyandWombat]

Getting back into climbing was quite the wild ride. I feel like I lost the least in finger strength and the most in core strength. In addition to that I got fatigued EXTREMELY quickly (after about an hour on my first session as opposed to 3-5 hours on typical sessions) and fucked up a muscle in my shoulder on an easy climb.

Lol that blue 8 took me for a ride too

[kylem_climbs]

Remember that if you want to do routes, the grade conversion from hueco to font to YDS is very rough... as a v10 boulderer i have only climbed 5.13a, but according to the chart i should be able to do 5.14a.

[domenichughes]

ayyyy how'd you know i'm getting my cast of next week lol

[Iamarock]

After my first time climbing in three months my forearms are suffering, they’ve never hurt this much but I guess I expected that haha

[Rampagedd]
