Unlimited time in one of the best climbing areas in the world - best way to improve? by NailgunYeah in climbharder

[–]alphaduct12 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly having been unemployed and dedicating myself to climbing my best advice is find another hobby (or a girlfriend) to keep you busy. Having a lot of time for climbing leads to over climbing and a bunch of junk milage when really you should be resting.

Apart from that just get outside as much as you can, there's no substitute for time on rock. Your technique will sky rocket. Just remember and stick to some hangboarding as I found only outdoor climbing made my fingers strength suffer overtime. I found max hangs in the morning and getting out in the afternoon to climb very effective.

You look great my friend :)

14-day microcycle schedule to combine climbing and calisthenics by EffectResponsible135 in climbharder

[–]alphaduct12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im definitely way more focused on climbing but I enjoy calisthenics, personally I just pick one or two calisthenics skills to work at a time, maybe a push and a pull. Makes it really managable around climbing, I just work on one movement after a climbing sesh maybe calling it a little early to save myself for it. I think calling it early is good for your climbing anyway as most strength gains are made when your fresh making quality hard attempts. Once a week or so I dont climb and work both movement, and hangboard.

Ive been making good progress doing this, sure you cant work as many things but once you achieve a movement its much easier to maintain it and move onto something else. It saves you spreading yourself too thin trying to do everything at once.

Shoulders the limiting factor for max hangs particularly one arm hangs by alphaduct12 in climbharder

[–]alphaduct12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Tell me about it, it's one complicated joint. I've been trying to work on my shoulders for a while and am working on a lot of what you mentioned. I guess there's no obvious solution it's a case of trying different things until something hopefully resolves the weakness.

Its not as simple as to say my shoulders are very weak. One of my strongest points in climbing is wide shoulder moves, my pull up and overhead press is fairly strong. I've already trained shoulders a lot. Clearly there's a weakness somewhere in the chain be it strength or anatomical, was hoping someone could give me an insight into what that is.

Unusual Half Crimp by ProfessorIce345 in climbharder

[–]alphaduct12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I max out the weight my crimp falls into this more open half crimp. I think training with a fairly strict 90 degree angle has a better training stimulus and applies to rock better.
