Great video. I have a question about the section, 'Finger Recruitment'. Regarding the on screen Caption, "Campus boards aren't building power unless you are jumping with your feet", what is the background/what was the discuss surrounding this point? Further, was there any discussion around how campus boards were to be used in this manner? A small comment which has got my brain interested!
Put simply, power is built when moving fast. How "fast" is relative to the individual. The typical campus boarding routine we see just doesn't meet the power training needs. It usually looks like a semi-slow pull up to a snap catch at a rung or 2 above. Keeping your feet on the kick, and really exploding up (say from 1 to 4 or 5) is more likely to meet the minimum velocity demands for power training, even for experienced climbers. But, moderate to beginner level climber would all definitely benefit from keeping the feet on.

Great video! Really good insight into the different ways to measure and train strength for climbing!
Love this video! I went to Tyler's course in Florida and we covered basically the same topics. Love having this video as a recap.
Super interesting. Tyler is such a good trainer
Tip nº2 of Tyler: try to replicate the proyect. You: i'm gonna train for my 20º prtoyect in this 40º board haha nice
