The vertical line is a visual guide that helps you determine which foothold is best for flagging and also which type of flag to use. This is highly applicable in situations where the handhold is sidepulling and the body position has a hip in. - Jak na to + styl

This is one of the most thoughtful comments I've ever read. Thank you for taking the time to write that. It's great fuel to continue making content.
This channel is genuine gold, when I was a beginner 8 months ago I watched his vids now I climb v6v-v7.
v7 after 8 months is extremely impressive. Were you already in great shape?
oh wow 😮
@@joeytmandude are you sure? im climbing v6-v7 at 8 months and my first time stepping in the gym i couldent do a push up or climb v2
@@xv6895 Unless your gym is incredibly soft with grades then yes 8 month progression to v7 is incredibly impressive. Most people get stuck in the v5-v6 range for 1yr+
@@joeytmandude i climb outdoor mostly, got a new indoor v7 today
This channel is actually amazing! A place where you will learn not only to climb but also the fitness needed to climb well!
Excellent. Looking forward to trying the exercises.
I am brand new to climbing and your videos have been super helpful.
Love the content and your clarity when explaining
This is gold and found just in time to set my wall will use some of this to focus on move specific setting nice one 🤙
By far the best climbing teacher on CZcams I love him so much

Bro I go to the same gym I love what you tech thank you
Thank you!
Nice Content!
Trainer Be Fuller points to using inside flags for greater reach, and for choosing it when the foothold is closer to the base of a triangle as found in a knee drop. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the same. Thanks, Daniel
Be's a great coach who breaks down the flagging positions quite well in the video with Hannah. I think her and I are pretty much in agreement with which footholds are best suited with certain flags. With regard to the inside flag specifically on the front foothold in a triangle base (slightly ahead of the vertical line), I feel both outside and inside flags are fine. Outside flag would be better for reach maximization as you'll be pushing off the foot on the same side as the hand you're reaching with. Inside flag would have slightly less reach (than an outside flag) since it's pushing off the opposite foot as your reaching arm even though the same hip is turned in (as your reaching arm). In my experience the inside flag's best advantage is demonstrated in the efficiency of avoiding a footswap.
@@movementforclimbers Thank you for the detailed response, sir! Best, Daniel
superb.
I am quite new to climbing and I am struggling with when to use inside and outside flag. Oddly enough, unlike you, I mostly find it more convinient to use inside flag than outside flag. I am trying to work out some rule of thumb, because I don't think you should use inside flag only to avoid a foot swap. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
Principal Based Learning !
Great video! I’m a bit confused by the applications of back flag in different terrains and wonder if anyone can help. The video says back flag can be applied to slab walls and not inside flag, which pushes our hips away from the wall. I understand the reason and movement here. But later in steep terrain, the video says that back flag would push our hips away from the wall. I’m curious if a back flag would push us away from the wall or not or what makes the difference? Thank you!!!!
Great question. The hip positioning of a back flag is hips square but it serves as more of a balance type of body position than a tension type of body position (like with an outside flag for example). On steep terrain it's really advantageous to have a hip-in position like with drop knees or outside flags (hips rotated). Sometimes you'll have hips square positions like a non-rotated outside flag but the positioning lets you pull in a bit more with the toe (primary foot) so you can actually use toe pressure and tension to bring your hips closer to the wall, even in a hips square position. We don't really get this feature (pulling in with the toe) in a back flag on steep because the primary focus is to balance in the back flag and no so much to tension (since we are using same side hand and foot vs opposite hand and foot).
Honestly the best way is to just try it out for yourself on steep terrain. Try a hips square outside flag (opposite hand and foot) and use your toe to pull the hips closer to the wall. Then try a back flag and see if you can apply toe pressure and pull your hips in towards the wall or if they have to sag. Hope that helps!
@@movementforclimbers this is super helpful!! Thank you sooooo much. I can’t wait to try it on the wall!
