Nina Williams' Amazing Heel Hook 👀

This week we're joined by pro climber ‪@sheneenagins‬ at the Refuge Climbing and Fitness in Las Vegas, NV. I was struggling with the crux move on a V7/V8 when Nina came along and gave me some pointers. Her heel hook beta is next level! Thanks so much for hanging with us at the gym Nina! And make sure you're following Nina's new podcast! Link below.

Nina is the best!! I’m so glad she joined you for Sunday Sends 👍🏻 Some great takeaways too regarding heel hooks… and I definitely gotta work on my frog pose in 2024 😂

[@MiguelClimbs]

You and I both! 😂🐸

[@augustclimbing]

@@MiguelClimbs You may consider a stretching segment in each subsequent episode - informative and entertaining 😉

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Some people add grades just by adding stretching to their routine. Good luck, entertaining video to watch.

[@frjohnluke8453]

Great video. Nina is crazy strong and a good coach. I have definitely been neglecting leg flex exercises. I need her hips.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Thanks for watching as always bro!

[@cameronline3780]

Met Nina in Boulder 4 years ago and I was so awkward because I was a bit starstruck even though she was super cool 😂

[@Miguelisbastus]

Miguel to Miguel, this Sunday Sends was a banger 😌

[@MiguelClimbs]

😂 Thanks Miguel!

[@OldMcHorny]

Insightful video. Very important topic to me, I struggle especially with these kind of moves too when I try very difficult problems. At my height of 200cm I frequently struggle to execute such moves. I try to be flexible despite my height, I too do the frog and similar poses, it helps me a lot. Anyway, I would have probably tried to cheat this move by stepping down on the hold at the bottom at 6:32, grab the 2nd last hold safely and step up then, lol.

[@RoadtoV11]

Nina is una bestia! Amazing video as always. I've just decided I'm going to frog-pose-watch all your vids from now on.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Haha 2024 is the year of the frog! 🐸

[@konkelkent]

I wanna see her in a powerlifting competition lol, Girl is a BEAST. she would wipe the floor with people :D very inspiring

[@junyuzhang414]

Yea def love this episode about heel hooking n knowing ur body positioning is so key esp for high level climbers! Also nice to see a non-send but also u still learned a lot about what u need to work on haha strong vibes next time!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Thanks for watching and commenting! It'll go down for sure! But probably with the toe hook haha.

[@ben_grubb]

Very interesting video. Being a taller climber with not great hip flexibility, I struggle with these types of moves a lot.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Just means that we need to spend more time in the yoga room!

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Nina is awesome. I met her in Clear Creek Canyon! Very kind and chill!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Oh cool dude! Yeah she's amazing!

[@Voidload]

Nina is the best. So positive and so strong!

[@MiguelClimbs]

She's amazing! So lucky that she was in the gym that day.

[@jneumonik]

Miguel your frog stretch is a lot better than mine, nice work, I'm so inflexible and been working frog hard in 2023 but still not making much progress.

[@MiguelClimbs]

What no way! I thought mine sucked. Time for you to put a plate on your back! 🐸

[@jneumonik]

@@MiguelClimbslol yes!!! I have the worse hips, might be from my desk job. Gonna try with plate tonight thanks!

[@MuadDib74]

My main take away from this video is that if you say the name Nina about 50 times in a 10 minute video, it begins to sound kinda weird....

[@MiguelClimbs]

😆 I do tend to say people's names a lot when filming.

[@MuadDib74]

@@MiguelClimbs haha I guess it's hard to know what will make it into the final cut- I'm sure there's an even chance of never hearing someone's name at all 🤣

[@diannanowak6940]

So Inspiring Nina!

[@jackmclaughlin6387]

Her China Beach doc was awesome.

[@serenekim28]

You nailed that froggy pose lol

[@MiguelClimbs]

😂🐸

[@steffanievillegas7613]

It's so inspiring when you feature strong women! Nina killed it!

[@MiguelClimbs]

😻 She so killed it!

[@syindrome]

3:13 looks like an 80's action hero!

[@bragoss4290]

that second highball you showed from her is more like a FS than a boulder OMG

[@MiguelClimbs]

Haha go watch the full send on Nina's channel!

[@leonilavillegas3670]

In awe of Nina! Those muscles and Send! ❤
You’re close to sending it! Keep it up!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Thanks Mom! 😻

[@jordancapped]

Damn good video 🔥🔥🔥

[@MiguelClimbs]

Thanks bro! Can't wait for you to start doing collabs. They're gonna be 🔥

[@stefslyfe]

Love Nina dude….great video ✌🏽😎🤙🏽

[@MiguelClimbs]

Thanks bro! 🙌

[@thats_bomber]

Now I’m inspired to try this problem next time im there!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Dude you totally got it! 💪

[@MrTheHegemon]

Why was the rest of the climb at 2:39 cut out!? I wanted to see how Nina did that one, it looked insane!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Oh sorry! She fell on the following move! Was just using it for b-roll!

[@daanvdz7025]

2:00 is there a reason you don't like switching beta? Cause sometime when I am projecting new people help me out, or I myself find a better solution that might work better, why not just try that for a couple of times and see if there's any difference? Sometimes small changes can make the whole thing easier for me I have noticed.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Hey great question. If it's a really hard problem for me, I like to exhaust the option that seems like it will work first. If it doesn't work, I can come back on a subsequent sesh and try different beta. For easier problems, I switch up beta right away if it's not working for me. Thanks for the feedback!

[@daanvdz7025]

@@MiguelClimbs Ah Gotcha! Wasn’t meant to be feedback though, just curious why you’d rather not wanted to switch beta :)

[@suki355]

Dope. W Nina!

[@MiguelClimbs]

So dope.

[@jonathanrossddsmhs1271]

I hope Kaz isn’t jelly that you think Nina is cooler.

[@MiguelClimbs]

😂

[@leokismet8586]

Who clicked this thinking it was Tekken related 😂. Still very cool

[@MiguelClimbs]

😂 Nina Williams used to be one of my favorite characters.

[@adamkirosingh]

🐸 mode Miguel. It's the way

[@MiguelClimbs]

Hahaha, now I know.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Technique is off the charts with Nina.

[@marcustrigg5524]

This isn't tekken 8 but this video will got heat 🔥

[@MiguelClimbs]

🔥🔥🔥

[@TheWizardofMNT]

Is this the Nina Williams that Nina Williams from Tekken is based on!?

[@MiguelClimbs]

😆 Sadly no.

[@boidinktwistie4389]

What a effing champ

[@daanvdz7025]

Sick video dude! Stay awesome :)

[@MiguelClimbs]

Hell yeah! Thanks! 🙌

[@MCCLITTY]

Thought this was going to be a Tekken 8 video 😂

[@MiguelClimbs]

😂 Everyone keeps saying that

[@urabagofcells2228]

NO. FAIR. im dead.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Are you going to be ok?

[@Keukeu45]

Jacked, cute and funny.
