What is kinetic energy and how can it help you climb?

We have genuinely been using our COROS Apex 2 and 2 Pro watches for over a year now. At first, they were just watches to us - durable for sure and great in the alpine (with the satellite connectivity/GPS), but over time, we started to see the real benefit with tracking and planning our training.
Most people get to the gym and don't have a plan - as a result, they plateau.
One of the best features about the watches is how long they last - weeks and weeks of daily use, tracking all of the metrics! Honnold made a joke about losing his charging cable as he charges it so infrequently! It's no joke!
Ask us anything you want about the watches and how we use them to train. #trainwithcoros

This video is on what we refer to as "kinetic" energy - i.e. using energy that is often wasted with 99% of climbers. If you make a move from left to right that energy has the potential to be absorbed and pushed back like a ball being thrown at the floor: it will compress and the stored energy is used to bounce back upward. It's the same principle.

However, most climbers will make a move, and then pause. They kill this energy and waste so much more initiating the move again.

In this video we look at how to correct that and hopefully become a more fluid and efficient climber - building on last week's video on using momentum.

After I watched the “hips” video I went and tried it. Fantastic! I’m looking forward to consciously trying this. Thanks!

Another brilliant and immediately applicaple video. Can't wait to try this in the gym.

Thanks for the video.
There is a place for the use of the momentum, but you should recognize that swinging on a hold creates more strain on the forearms...
There is a easy test for it, hang onto a bar and compare swinging on a bar. Swinging is much harder... and also the faster movements drain more brainpower/focus, something to keep in mind.
At the end a climber needs to focus on all climbing styles and develop a movement catalogue that fits the strength and weaknesses, it is like creating your own dance.
Natural Law is LOVE!

love the video, will incorporate this into my next session! :)

[heraclitus]

Thanks for this! I am quite bad at this so is very useful ❤

We hope you enjoy this video on the concept of using stored energy “kinetic energy”.
If you practice it a little you’ll start to see more flow in your climbing

Hi ROAP, i noticed doing movement like this tend to make a hips a bit further from the wall. I guess my body want that outward - inward movemeny from the hips.

What do you think?
