Great tips!
Great job. Coming back to climbing in my 60s after a 30 year break. This should help keep me improving. Thank you.
This ^
This right here is why I absolutely love climbing, glad you returned :)
V5 warm up. sounds about right
It's called V5 since you should do about 5 minutes of it.
@@WyandWombat true, i always do 17 min of v17 on my warm up, rlly gets the blood flowing and isnt too hard!
@@lucasuytterhoeven5164 lmfao🤣
"If you ran because you're excited about climbing..." YES THAT HAPPENS
Here's another couple of warm up ideas. I like to climb and then down climb the easy climbs. Good for getting the blood flowing, a little endurance training and down climbing is a great skill for route climbers but also for bouldering. I find it's great training for problems where you lead with your feet (esp. down climbing steep problems)
After some easy routes I'll head over to the finger board and progress through the hold sizes (large to small) with FEET ON THE GROUND. Static, safe, incremental loading to get recruitment for hard crimping. Keeping feet on the ground allows you to gradually increase the load 👍💪
I used this warm up today and I was able to push into the next level. Thanks guys for a great video!!!!
I climb v4's so this might not be good for people who are at about v1's, but the way i warm up is by flashing every v0 in the gym without rest. I do it as slow and controlled as possible focusing on technique. It gets my heart going, i stretch out on the wall and it warms up my grip all without stressing anything. It usually takes about 10 minutes, but that depends on the size of the gym.
I also use this as a workout for endurance. I'll do every v0 without rest, then after i'm finished i do every v1, then rest for a bit then every v2 etc. until i fail, then i go back down a grade, if i flash that first try i go back up to the higher grade all until i'm basically worn out and unable to climb. Theres also 5-4-3-2-1 circuits. 5 v0, 4 v1, 3 v2, 2 v3, 1 v4 with a 2 minute rest in between each set, then you repeat.
I can’t wait until I’m at your level of conditioning, even V0s will overuse my shoulders without warmup
@@ohokcoolhow's your progress going? Hitting the v0s and v1s without issues?
I am that friend that skips warming up.
Always a joy to watch Louis climb.
I’d like to see a Louis Parkinson/Magnus Midtbo Collaboration....like if you agree 😃
6:40 Louis climbing into Heaven rather than taking the stairs
This was a much better than others I've seen that involve full campusing workout sessions
If you take a 30 minute to an hour break in the middle of a climbing session. Grabbing food or something do you do the warm up again. What rest period requires warming up again is my question I guess?
I think it depends on your fitness level and how pumped you’ve gotten. I’d imagine I short warmup could only help
Hey man, been loving the videos with Louis! A piece of advice, you might benefit a lot from a better mic. (The audio is pretty echo-y.)
Totally agree- I do have an external mic, but there was a connection issue on the day we shot the first 3 videos, so I was left using the internal camera mic audio, unfortunately. After next week's vid it will be sorted, so bear with me for just one more. Glad you're enjoying them! We're having fun filming and have got some more good stuff coming :D
I showed his to a friend and she said “if I warm up with 10 routes with a 5.5 rating on that 45’ wall, I’ll be too tired to work on my projects.” So it’s good to note he’s talking about boulders.
You prolly dont care but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Rayan Alessandro Instablaster ;)
@@rayanalessandro8704 bad bot
Anyone else's hands get sweaty just from watching climbing videos?
Love the music selection, Louis is great on camera, good luck with the channel!
6:40 no Louis! Don't go into the light!! stay with us
A great fun vin. Thank you Louis I did enjoy it.
What a great dynamic workout! Definitely going to try this out next time at the gym.
Looking forward to more from this channel. Great work
I am soooo bad about warming up, I get to the gym after a long day of work and my time is limited so I just want to get on the wall ASAP but I've learned the hard way that the biggest waste of time is getting injured :/ I'll be warming up from now on. Thanks for the tips!
Hey man, planning on making a vid, could I use this video to warm up in it? My plan is to see how a session goes after warming up like a pro.
could traversing help as a warm up?
Thanks for the great tips!
Great! Thank you for sharing! I know how to do the warm up now :p I wonderful if you have any climbing tips now. Will search your channel :)
I really like louis as the person he is
Thanks for good tips!
how do I tag Magnus mitbo in this video?
I feel like I need to warm up before every climbing session but a lot of times at climbing walls there isn’t a good place to do it. I end up finding a corner or unused system wall. Also at some walls I really feel I stand out like a sore thumb where other climbers will just turn up and start easy.
Matthew Kefford there is a stigma to warming up almost like “it ain’t cool “ .I am 38 and will spend 10 mins doing push-ups ,running on the spot ,stretching and climbing piss easy climbs.When I go to the better gym I will spend 30 mins warming up
I know what you mean. It felt the same for me (I'm 19 years old), but I don't really care about it anymore and just do my thing. You'll eventually get used to it. When someone asks me, why I'm doing it, I just tell them, that I don't want to get injured and that I realized, that I climb harder and my endurance is better if I did my warm up routine before.
do your thing, do your climb, they may have all ran to the gym....
Friends do not let friends upload videos with poor audio....
At least the music is much louder in relation to any audio. I love having to turn the sound up, then down, than up again.
@@billjensen51 Think of that as your finger extension warmups!
very nice and useful video thanks!
Thanks, I literally never do any warmup and this is probably smart
Was that 2 seconds of capoeira I saw?
Great video!
I've strained my ring finger on a 7a+ yesterday. I don't think I was warmed up enough and was doing a a half Dyno at the start of the climb. Sucks I thought I was warmed up. Need to work on my leg strength so I can push myself up better rather than Dyno. ( It was the hand that remained on the hold that I hurt not the landing hand)
funfact: jumproping is good for cardio. what with all the wrist wiggling and hopping and such
damn that editing quality.. only 200 subs??
jigglymabob 900 by now
I’m in love with this man
Do you down climb the easy climbs?
Amazing!
great video, keep it up
question... this kind of warm up is not often possible at the crack... any advise for warming up at the crag when you're jut working on the hard project? great video !
i don‘t skip warming up, but somehow fucked up my brachialis..
But i‘ll try the technique „training“ during warming up :)
thx
I can barely get through v5's and my gym is small, i couldnt imagine warming up in front of everyone just to struggle on a v5
Thanks! Whats louis' opinion on hangboards?
Can someone add subtitles to this please? I'm having a really hard time understanding them and auto generated subs are not helping (lol)
looks like it's snowing chalk in there
It’s humid though bruh. Damn.
What is this grading system? at my climbing center we have 3+, 4, 4+, 5, 5+, 6A, 6A+, 6B, 6C, 7A, 7A+, 7B, 7C, 8A, 8B etc.. what is v5?
It's called a V scale and is popular outside of Europe. The gyms in my country use it. I think the US also uses it.
Your gym uses the Font system. Look up bouldering rating conversions to convert to/from systems.
How can you guys grow so long arms..
lol
How do you know kinda where you are climbing grade wise when all gyms grade differently? My gym has como style bouldering so the V1’s and V2’s are as hard as some other gyms v4’s and v5’s.
As a (re)beginner when your strength and fitness don't allow hard climbing, starting easy is the only option anyways ;)
Me: *yeets on the wall* REEEEEEE.. *proceeds to climb*
Anyone know the name of the song playing during his climbing?
Utah - Mirror
1:03 - Info starting point
Never rotate you ankles and knees. Those joints are not meant for such movements. That they sometimes accomodate it doesn't matter you should weaken them by warming up and extending your sideways range of motion thus increasing the chance of injury. (unlikely in climbing but nevertheless...)
Interesting...
My boyfriend always skips the warm-up :/
Seriously, the audio quality is so poor.
That I've been watching it even though can be taken as a compliment ;)
05:58 thats's what we breath
Are you talking about the air at 6:20? That's how you get as good as Louis. I just need to start breathing more chalk!
All the dislikes are from magnus
Lower dat iso 6:30
Music in this video??
UTAH - Mirrors :)
Nice cac tee
Like your vids but you need a mic. Think it's just this one
v5 is my proj
haha slabby gym V5 on small holds... V1-V2 outside 😜
Magnus : "Is this some kind of *Pleb* joke im too *Pro* to understand?"
Couldn’t get through the video because the mic quality was so bad. Would’ve been a perfect video is the microphone wasn’t bad.
I thought this would have some warm up advice from Louis..... disappointed.
What a joke do you really hop around on one foot before you climb? This is comedy
