Y’all see that puddle form under her??? Get it big dawg!

Nice plant metaphor!

WTF is an MX18 Edge?

i also can do this!

I'm pretty sure I can lift a whole human on an MX18 edge. Not a grown ass human though.

Besides the obvious outrageous finger strenght, the most impressive thing about Aidan is the core strenght and control. That first warmup boulder is just climbed flawlessly

I really badly sprained my left ankle awhile back, so when I try do that last stretch it just feels like lots of pressure is being put on ankle instead of stretching my calf. The right leg feels great when I do this stretch though

Great video! A quick question about the Lat Pull-over. I notice when doing those that it puts quite a load on my neck. Is this something that's just because of my inflexibility and is okay or is this something I should look out for? Cheers!

I first watch educational climbing videos about technique and then I watch these videos to see if they use those techniques. Great way to learn XD

Super setting is not a new concept….body builders have been doing it for over 50 years….

Wow, that is a LOT of very useful information! Love it how you guys combine theory and practice. This makes it so much easier to understand why we would do certain exercises. Thank you so much!

Thank you!

bro talking about good form while kipping pullups lmfao

Can you please detail exactly your justification for including an overhead squat in your program? It just seems preposterous to include a squat varition which is so difficult to load.

What prevents me from enjoying taking a fall is not the fear of Falling, but rather the fear of gear failure. How do i overcome this?

i’m looking in to climbing and live near chesterfield so good to know there is a supply place 10min away. and a climbing place round the corner from costco. is there any good places to climb near jct 30 M1

The recent video from Emil Abrahamsson with the Tomoa brothers was really interesting because he asked them how many one arm pull ups they can do and they said they don't know because they never practice that. They even thought probably none.

Aidan has great footwork and climbs at just the right body tension for each move. A rare skill.

Bunch of gym kooks

Try climbing for fun not to be cool. Alex climbs for for himself. Gym climbers ruined our sport

if I may, I would say always use good technique , even in your warm up climbs. And warm up are a good way to practice technique than are your weakness.

i am going to do all of these!

i needed this... thank you sir

It's interesting that you're pointing out in the beginning that most climbers try to do too much. The only time I've felt really overtrained was when I tried a personalized Lattice training plan for 12 weeks. The training volume was just so incredibly high, it did make me stronger but it wasn't sustainable at all. Yet I ended up thinking I HAD to do this much in order to see any progress, because that's what the professionals were prescribing... 🙄

Frog stretch is ideal for PNF stretching like that! It always amazes me how much deeper one can get into the stretch after a few contract/relax cycles. Thanks for the video, super useful!

Answer: because that’s what “average” means, lmao

The 9c averages are basically just Ondra's results, right?

Now THIS is what I call climbing! Spectacular!!!

Somehow *all* of these height comparison videos feature a pretty average tall climber (“I am good at slabs”) and a decidedly above average short climber. 🧐

didn't see the rope at first and was like nooooooooo :O

Sickk

Hi, first off, great video! Especially liked how information from the psychology of perception was carried out. With my familiarity with the idea of affordances, just wanted to point out it is a self-perception concept, rather than something a coach or a route-setter "can afford" to their athlete. In that manner, I would think that it is an important role of the coach to acknowledge the athlete's self-directedness (or self-organization as you were putting it) in solving problems, rather than externally directing them. That being said, of course, a coach's role is to light the blind spots of their athletes. Regardless of my picky comment, really good one, managing to shed light sensibly on climbing technique as viewed by motor planning and skill acquisition standpoint. That's where many climbers could improve a lot (me included).

another Job well done.

I was wondering why he’s setting up the stretch so much before showing us but after 4:21 I get it

I like the video my feedback is you should show the movements rather than only just talking about it. Sometimes you show it really well but sometimes you’re just talking about it or pointing at it when I was really hoping to see it be performed instead. It’s very easy to understand if you show everything. Talking and pointing is hard for me to fully understand.

Dynamical systems terms, misapplied to sound cool and add confusion. Also, don't use drills, but use these drills! Not a good video.

Cuz otherwise it wouldn't be average?

Very informative thanks. Interesting overlaps with design and engineering terminology
