BEGINNER Lock Off MISTAKES I Wish I'd Fixed Sooner

In this video I go over how beginner climbers can improve their lock off ability from a mechanical perspective. This is the first of 3 videos that will be aimed at lock offs, so hopefully this video helps establish the fundamentals associated with the movement.

Thank you!! As a beginner climber with some background in calisthenics, my intuition is always to pull with my arms since im so used to this. I really need to learn how to use my leg!

thanks for the effort of providing such a valuable video
My climbing style is also very reliant on dead pointing and dynamic movements but I recently started to incorporate lock offs in some movements where it felt necessary, and i fell like it makes me a more well rounded climber
Cheers

Loving your videos dude! FYI the best queue I learned for lat engagement is to pull with your elbows and just treat your elbow to your hand like a meat hook. That's why I struggle with using my lats while climbing even though I bodybuilded for so long, I'm not used to actively gripping small shit so hard WHILE trying to use my lats.

Hey Buddy, thanks for the video. I am also a big fan of tennis, and just started to pick up the interest of bouldering. I just have a concern and you would be the perfect person to answer given your experience. Given tennis requires very loose grip on 90% of the time, do you think climbing might make your wrist too tight to play tennis and hurt it sometimes?

The reason I ask is every time I play tennis within 1 day or 2 of playing badminton, I will find my wrist not be able to relax enough and it hurts the next day. So I stop playing badminton for a long time. Not sure if you have similar experience with climbing + tennis? I am a bit hesitating on taking climbing as my next best hobby just for this concern, hope to get some thought from you. Thanks!
