My routine
1. NO warmup
2. Only limit bouldering, try to pull harder than last time

[LeeRilude]

my warmup routine;
1. 30 minutes of yoga before i goto the gym
2. squeeze on a stress ball for 3-5 seconds 20 times on each hand
3. complete all boulders below my grade before i attemtpt my normal set.

i've not tried the fingerboard yet, but i'll be sure to add it.

This is wonderful advice but nobody should be anxious to get to V6 in a hurry. Ignore the feckn grades and make it all about learning new ways of moving - especially smoother, easier ways of moving.

I'm still doing the level 4 Home workout you guys uploaded 2 years ago regularly 1-2 times per week. This video helps me to structure my sessions in the gym as well.
I feel like having structure in your training at the gym, but also off the wall, is key.

Thanks for the great content!

Been watching out for a video like this from you guys. Thank you for the consistently high quality content 🙏

Love this video! My bouldering sessions are way too social for me to structure them this perfectly though (especially the middle sections haha)

[jackvermaak]

Loved this video! Please do a video in this style (structure of a climbing session with specific recommendations) for stronger climbers. Maybe a V7 and up video.
I currently boulder outdoors around the V9-V10 range and I still have no idea what I'm doing in my climbing sessions.

[KetchupKidKyle]

Im around V3 right now, so this is perfect!

Love it, already enjoy most of these in my warm-up. When doing the "butterfly" I like to also then from sitting rotate one knee in at 90 degrees and then rock the knees over from side-to side; gets the internal rotation of the hips ready for drop knees.

[Mylada]

As a former powerlifter, I might be a bit nitpicky, but at 19:29 your dl technique is great, BUT.. I would try to get those knee way back and hips higher. Now your starting position is a bit uncomfortable and you have to elevate your hips first to get the knees out of the way to start the movement. Ideally you would start at the same position when the bar breaks the floor. Now it looks too much like I squat, and less like a hip hinge.

Anyway, great video. warm up, flexibility, basic climbing, projecting, some general strength training. This is pretty much what I do. Just more focus on finger strength.

[cyborgraptor]

I have a couple of problems with the "warm up". Studies have shown that static stretches actually impair athletic performance. What you should be doing are dynamic stretches to warm up, eg leg swings. Preferably whatever motion imitates what you'll be doing. Also, static stretches should be done after you are already warm; this decreases chances of injury. It's generally recommended to do static stretches at the end of a work out, when you're already warm and the muscles/tendons/ligaments are more relaxed. This will also increase your "gains" in stretching.

[Zavannt]

Great video! Just curious whether the static warm-up stretches would be better served with dynamic ones? I thought static stretches may decrease strength

[nathanhalfman]

Enjoyed watching this video, which covers many aspects of gym training and climbing. Well done

[arendon]

can you make a video for V6-V10!!! great content, we need something for the mid tier climbers!

[monique]

Thanks for this helpful video. I'm going to add some stretching to my warm-up! I wonder if you could say a little bit about the purpose of the mileage session and how it benefits climbing? I've been bouldering for around six months and mainly focus on projecting, but I would definitely want to add mileage if I understood how it help me progress more.

[quarionilphukiir]

Bold of you to assume that there are 20 boulders in my flashrange at my gym😉

Also 'don't do strength exercises all the time, limit to once or twice a week'... while I'd love to go more often, that doesn't feel realistic right now.

[nkartashov]

Amazing video with some advice which remains forever applicable

[alexeymalyshev]

top quality video. Love it! Thank you!

[xenonsens]

Awesome content. Could you make a similar for bouldering V6-V11? A lot of people would appreciate I believe!

[StagnantMizu]

I have a pull up bar cant I just use that for training with like 3 fingers etc should work fine too right?
