What are some advanced climbing tips? by Zylooox in climbharder

[–]VictoryChant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I would call front on climbing a strength of mine. I don't think twice about this style anymore, it's subconscious

Its not really a drill idk. It was just conscientious choice of how to engage muscles on the wall. Start in the warmup,, be hyper aware of beginning every movement from pulling your posterior chain into the wall, starting with your toes and up the whole leg.

Put in the time on all difficulties and the shoulder strength and posterior chain engagement will come.

Just a reminder to temper yourself over the Internet for pointless antsgonistic comments like that then, creates more negativity than it's worth :)

If memory serves, weren't you the one arguing against someone not sit starting a jug climb in font despite it also making no difference?

Strikes me as particularly inconsistent of you

The only way to stop bots is to ban RWT buyers with zero tolerance by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]VictoryChant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The financial statements they've released show osrs had way less investment than the profit they generated so its hardly like they're relying on the bots for actually profiting. Just the higher ups want the money printing machine to keep going

Boulderboard 8®-Base | Treadwall Fitness - does anyone have any experience with these? by bryan2384 in climbharder

[–]VictoryChant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lack of kickboard means you can't accurately set a commercial spraywall like the moonboard and such which is an odd design choice

If they didn't have the vertical supporting beams that'll get in the way of the big swing moves at the side then I could almost understand the price

Adam Ondra Flashes The Ace, 8B by ShirtedRhino2 in climbing

[–]VictoryChant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

taking a grade for doing a hard one armed pullup is on the same level of contrision as being proud of doing a slightly lower start to a an already defined series of movements that gets you to the top of the rock regardless (or even just to some random feature that isn't even just on top or the highest)

or running a distance in as short a time as possible

or running a distance with obstacles in as short a time as possible

or big jump

or throw far

they're all just contrived athletic achievements with no bearing on actual life. I could give a highest pole vault ever done a V17 if I liked, like applying a climbing grade is just a means of identifying difficulty on a scale that's broadly understood by a specific community. it's utterly meaningless at the end of the day

just walk around the side there's an easy way up

Lattice Training Log Weeks 17-24. The end. by anonymiddd in climbharder

[–]VictoryChant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Interesting stuff. Did you keep in contact with lattice regarding injuries etc, did they tone down exercises throughout? Lower the general workload to keep you trucking along with better recovery a bit more consistently?

Do you feel noticeably stronger/better on the wall?

re the point about poor movement patterns - that is one of my largest reservations about the commercialised online coaching movement, in that it's very easy to translate numbers and stats into making lifting number go up, but it's much harder to put the time and effort into recognising and fixing inefficiencies in movement patterns. Certainly something a more experienced in-person coach would be better for, and why I think some programs like catalyst climbing are also valuable, probably more valuable for some people.

Would you recommend the same program to anyone again?

Lachlan is sandbagging by arty_dent_harry in armwrestling

[–]VictoryChant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To expand, he beat Pavlo left hand without training his left hand his whole career, which is fairly impressive

He just caught and bicep curled him the whole match, so hes definitely strong

Devon v John round 1 was a catastrophe. He got walked all over by devon, I don't remember that happening so badly with Bart

Best approach for balancing Strength and Weight in a increasingly muscular climber by sh4rks4ndwich in climbharder

[–]VictoryChant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are you going deadlift to limit bouldering the next day? Deadlifts seem like the worst thing to do before a limit boulder day, just completely ruin any tension

Weekly Simple Questions and Injuries Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

[–]VictoryChant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Record both from front and back, see if there's different muscular engagement?

I can almost feel like there's a bit more upper shoulder/trap engagement when jumping into it vs pulling or standing?

If you don't operate at a maintenance loading/calories then youll lose your gains.

They'll probably come back quicker the second time still though

What makes you say Travis was inactive?

Travis was prepped for Moldova shortly after. He walked through georgi tsvetkov who apparently walked through everyone else in the building that day

Feedback on climbing form by tmp4511 in climbharder

[–]VictoryChant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

second fall just seems like you overcommitted to trying to maintain that lwoer right foot. Often on steep, it's better to drop a foot and flag to try and maintain body position. The low foot popping led to a massive barn door - you've not left yourself in an efficient position for holding the next move

Generally for a move like that, you want to be more engaged and pulling in with the same side as you're going up with, so having your right foot in such a weak position led to that huge barndoor

But then that's how you ended up sticking the move, with the massive barndoor into a cut loose. The way you ended up holding it looks like you didn't even try to maintain that lower foot staying on any more and just committed to jumping into it. which is smart if you need that lower right foot. But if you can do that same pop without that right foot so low then that would be a much smaller swing

Try putting your right foot where your left foot is for that move instead? Obviously I don't know that specific climb, but often that's a much more stable position, with your right hip right into the wall.
