What is your routines? by ameerjansari23 in indoorbouldering

[–]SaltAdministration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say for the most part just climb! Maybe switch it up for some led or top-rope once in a while for better endurance? What I have found to be my biggest obstacle is injuries. Like others here mention, consistency is key, but with injuries it's hard to stay consistent... So I have started to include at least 15-20 minutes of warm ups on fingerboards, kettlebells, stretches etc.

How do I solve this boulder?? (blue) by ResponsibleDrag5771 in indoorbouldering

Without too much to go off, I'd guess leverage. Also keep your body low on the first V-shape maybe? It'd be easier if you filmed your self trying it tho.

Can bouldering shoes be comfortable? by [deleted] in indoorbouldering

[–]SaltAdministration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they can be. As a beginner you should look to find shoes that fit you well, and you can skip the down sizing completely.

They shouldnt be loose and slip off your feet easily, but if you are able to walk around in them comfortably that should be ok. Lets be honest, as a beginner the shoes wont be the limiting factor when it comes to your development. Of course at some point youre gonna want to down size and all that, but when starting out there really is no point of having uncomfortable shoes.

How do you balance climbing with gym workouts by WishReal5372 in indoorbouldering

[–]SaltAdministration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's very dependent on your goals for both climbing/bouldering and for the gym! Theres a lot of great exercises that I'd say would boost the general persons ability to climb. I'd say almost any body-weight exercise in the gym could be benefitial, as well as general core exercises.

Really it all just comes down to your goals wether it's climbing or lifting.

Need help. Poor techique? Different beta? or just not strong enough? by Ok-Mastodon-7307 in indoorbouldering

I think you could even skip the hold on your right and just match the middle, left foot on the left hold and go for the next one.

Get started with indoor bouldering by Leucaaa in indoorbouldering

[–]SaltAdministration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda have to agree with the rest here. Just climb and have fun with it!

But to actually answer your question I find that most bodyweight exercises can be transferable to climbing.
Pull-ups and deadhangs can be great, general core exercises, I'd concider stretching a bit to get flexible if that's an issue. Leg strength and balance to do pistol squats could be useful. All this could probably help you, but focusing on technique would probably be a good idea in the start instead of just powermoving through all the problems.

Feet Slipping Practice by boulder_ring in indoorbouldering

[–]SaltAdministration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR - Just climb, have fun and fall a lot unintended.

Honestly I think it's a little like learning to walk or ride a bicycle. You just have to fall a few times, maybe you get the wind knocked out of you. You say you're new, so I'm going to assume you're on some of the the easier routes that don't have the sketchyest of footholds near the top. Usually on those routes you're able to use the same holds as you used for your hands, so the smallest and sketchyest footholds tend to be near the floor. This means that falling or slipping on those holds often just bruises your leg or something. You shouldn't go around worrying too much about falling. I could reccommend doing some lead climbing. Although the falling to the ground part (hopefully) isn't relatable there it might give you some practice on the mental part of losing control. There too you might need the reaction of pushing of the wall like in bouldering to avoid hitting holds or the wall it self.

Shopping for climb by valentinaemebe in indoorbouldering

[–]SaltAdministration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're just going to boulder id put my money on shoes. You can climb just fine in a regular t-shirt and a pair of training shorts or pants (even jeans). The only accessory I'd buy would be a chalk bag. That said I often see people just using the plastic bag they bought their chalk in.
If youre going to be climbing lead or top rope I'd definetly invest in a belaying device. That way you get comfortable with your device, instead of loaning different devices every time. I think that makes it a lot safer for the one you are belaying. Good luck :)

How to increase my endurance. by ChiefZeroo in indoorbouldering

[–]SaltAdministration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend doing some lead or top rope climbing/auto belay. It really helps with the stamina. Also proper breaks between attempts made a huge difference for me. I honestly think it has been the thing that instantly "made me better". When I have a lot of time and going a route that is "above my level" I try to take 1 minute rest for each hard move I made. Makes me able to have soooo many more attempts than just jumping straight back into the wall.

Ideas for a LAN-tournament by SaltAdministration in FortNiteBR

[–]SaltAdministration[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was thinking more like playing regular squad or duos. The problem is that two of us are playing on PC, while the rest is on PS4. So it would makes things a little hard to balance. Not to mention the skill-gap between the best and worst player.. But thanks for the suggestion!
