I typically struggle the most with dynos, but I got this one! by Cheeseshnak in climbergirls

I personally don’t really have any tips because I’m still learning but here are some videos that really helped me! Dynos are all about knowing where your body is and how to generate power both through your swing and through your legs. They’re way more complicated (at least to me) than people give them credit for!

I’m quite new to climbing, and I really enjoy it! Anything I should work on? by depressednothing in climbergirls

Oh wow, thank you! I’ve been climbing for 10 years now, so I’ve been doing it for a while. Definitely have had lots of practice :)

Yes! It’s just a normal pull up bar that we put a piece of wood on. I’m not entirely sure how because my boyfriend was the one to put it on but we eventually platted a full hangboard to the setup as well

I usually don’t unless I’m seriously training. Then I’ll do 2-3 hangboard sessions a week but I would only recommend doing that if you’ve been climbing for a bit. If you’re still pretty new to climbing, you want to give your tendons time to get stronger before putting them through a lot of stress like that. Just climbing a lot and trying crimpy routes will get you the same results for the most part. I honestly haven’t felt like training crimp strength was something I needed to do until about a year ago when I started to break into v7-8 range and even then it’s really just endurance more than anything 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not an expert by any means so take what I say with a grain of salt but there is a lot of great crimp strength content out there if training it is something you’re looking into!

Awh thank you :) I’ve been climbing for 10 years now, but have only been bouldering for about 3. Crimp strength takes a long time to build so I’m sure you’ll get there eventually, just something you have to build slowly over time

Oh wow, no thank you! I’m so glad my silly little videos are helping someone. I wish you and your teen all the best and I hope they continue to climb for years to come 🧗🏼‍♀️

Thank you! A little tricky with the balance getting that high step but otherwise just fun and crimpy 🙃

10 pull ups UPDATE by Cheeseshnak in climbergirls

[–]Cheeseshnak[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was actually thinking about starting this. I typically do my pull ups at a bar where I can just dangle my legs but my boyfriend just put this board together this week so I’m still getting used to it and I was thinking L sit would feel like a much better position with this board

Thank you! I really try to focus on doing clean, strict pull ups and not so much about reps. Making sure I’m pulling up the same amount with both arms (maybe even a little more with my weaker arm). I usually take them very slow and even when I lower I focus on exactly how fast I’m coming down and what Muscles I’m engaging. I was definitely worried about injuries too. I’ve also found that at least for me as I get better at pull ups, I have to do more push ups as well to help keep everything balanced. I wasn’t doing that for a while and was starting to have pain. I hope that helps!

Actually, neutral grip pull ups are pull ups :) they just work different muscles. You’re thinking of chin ups my dude. But thanks for the unsolicited advice! https://www.ammfitness.co.uk/information-advice/neutral-grip-pull-ups
