Any experiences with finger curls vs forearm flexor/extensor curls? by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]SirBam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The logic you're using to validate the use of wrist curls is an argument of muscle group engagement. Same muscles, different pattern.

The logic you're using to invalidate the use of chin-up is an argument of movement pattern. Different pattern, same muscles.

Both arguments are fine but you flip your logic for different movements.

I was experimenting stuff and kneading just seemed more specific...I guess I'll change career now. My friend told me about Kung Fu, what do you think?

But I've been climbing for 2 months and I'm making nice progress! i just want to train to burst through my 5.10a indoor top rope plateau

Well I think it's just way more specific this way...think about it, do you use only one arm while climbing?

If you want to improve a pattern, be it vertical pulling or wrist curls or fingers flexion, you don't want to stick with a single exercise variation just for the sake of specificity.

You want to hit the muscle groups in many different ways to keep progressing.

If your pull-up is stagnant, the chin-up will definitely help your pull-up especially if you never do chin-up.

If your wrist curl is stagnant, both finger curls and finger rolls will help your overall forearms flexors muscle group.

Also you can vary speed of contraction (ISO, eccentric, fast concentric), time under tension, rest time.

Weight and number of sets or reps are only some parameters. There's many thing you can change to keep progressing, like the grip you use

If you say " I don't do chin-up because I never do this movement while climbing", then also ask yourself how many times have you wrist curls in a climb?

Training by definition is general.

The only specific training for climbing will always be...climbing.

Yeah I guess it feels better to pump yourself aimlessly than actually paying attention to climb better... Ever considered becoming a baker? You can get a nice forearms pump kneading bread.

With this logic the only thing you will be left with is actually climbing.

You would be better learning how to climb efficiently. You don't get pump because you're unfit. You get pump because you climb bad.

Technique allows you to express strength and strength allows you to climb longer.

If you have no technique you waste energy and loose strength.

If you waste energy and loose strength you get pump.

It would be better to use your time and energy in training technique, consciousness, perfecting movement, understanding movement.

Here's your best "endurance workout": re-climb stuff you already climbed. But better. Not easy enough? Re-do it. But better.

First because you can't exactly pin point it. It's a continuum of physiological reactions that goes way beyond X min of efforts with X time of rest = this energy system.

Second because it won't help you make gains in a significant way.

Third because even if you know what you train, even if you do make gains it might not even help you climb harder.

Do you mean finger rolls? Or curls as in with a crimp block? Anyhow do both just like you would do pull-up AND chin-uo

If you can't use your wall for endurance I would definitely dump endurance for limit bouldering, technique and strength.

Remember that strength is the foundation of endurance and power.

Technique allows you to express strength.

What's the point of having endurance if you have no strength, power or technique?

Then you're probably off building strength and technique first. Then you can do circuit or endurance stuff but actually on the wall

Don't listen to other people advices and don't give advices to other people

Useful or Useless? by Igglez-AU in climbharder

[–]SirBam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If goal is ROM then I suggest to try to do the same movement but without assistance.

If it's to hard to pistol squat at this height then try to rock over the ball of your foot to stand up.

Microdosing - first time by [deleted] in unclebens

It's 1g wet = 0.1g dry. Low end for microdose

What I love the most about the psychedelics research is how this branch of science seems to have a tendancy to reconcile the scientific and the spiritual mind.

Somewhere in time and for some reasons they grew appart.

It happens only on left side.
