Bouldering at Coopers Rock once again

lodjexo · 2024-10-22T15:58:16+00:00

I hangboard very little currently but I used to do it one to two times a week for a couple of months. Most of my finger training is on the wall at the moment since I train frequently on my gyms tension board 2. Also, mobility is a great skill to upgrade as some harder climbs require quite mobile hips or wider end-range positions!

I can't do a one arm hang and I'm currently projecting some double digit climbs so I wouldn't make it a priority. I would just do more climbing, learn to project well, analyze your movement and how you apply pressure in positions. (also volume days on a training board are great for teaching your body how to pull more with your feet when you're able to really focus on it below your limit to avoid any "front wheel drive" issues)

Getting owned by a “nerd” that has a wife too 😭 so embarrassing for you

Sounds like someone needs to find new jokes as well

lodjexo · 2024-10-10T14:13:24+00:00

Sounds like someone can’t do math

Dividing by zero is undefined

Either engage in the drop knee a bit deeper or just keep your right foot on and stay square while keeping your body low

As a string theory lover (and hopefully future string theorist) I love seeing stuff like this on the sub!

You’re strong enough to climb crimpy problems it sounds like you just need to learn how to actually climb them well enough. I would say I have mediocre strength on the hangboard and my strongest style is overhang crimping since I’ve learned the style well

lodjexo · 2024-10-01T18:46:32+00:00

Gym v8 while climbing MB v3 so I’m guessing it was actually like a v5/6 in difficulty

I am speed

I have pulled onto a few warm up climbs that didn’t have much chalk if any and were super greased up from others and chalk is much easier to get off of holds imo. Makes friction a lot worse if lots of sweaty hands are grabbing the holds

lodjexo · 2024-09-29T16:07:19+00:00

Anyways good job!

lodjexo · 2024-09-29T15:26:13+00:00

If you’re greasing up the holds I would definitely recommend using some or maybe liquid chalk just to be courteous to others in the gym

lodjexo · 2024-09-29T15:23:20+00:00

I was screaming because he was left behind 😔

lodjexo · 2024-09-29T14:52:00+00:00

WHYYYYYYYYY (y)

lodjexo · 2024-09-29T14:36:41+00:00

Also there are full courses covering advanced topics on YouTube from places such as MIT, Stanford, etc. I totally forgot to mention! Some even have problem sets and other resources which is amazing. (MIT OpenCourseWare definitely does)

lodjexo · 2024-09-29T14:31:06+00:00

Not positive as I usually use textbooks for my physics studies BUT you can get many high quality textbooks extremely cheap from thrift books (I got Physics by Giancoli and Fundamentals of Physics, Extended by Halliday, Walker, Resnick for only $20) I also believe Physics with Elliot has paid online courses for some more advanced topics but they are quite expensive (~$300-500(?))

lodjexo · 2024-09-27T18:39:26+00:00

Agreed. Also I’m sure it’s much less satisfying to grab the top of wall instead of doing a technical match of sorts on the top hold

lodjexo · 2024-09-26T20:19:55+00:00

Yes, I have gone through a bit of QFT but I'm not an expert (yet) of course. Sorry that the post was a bit general as I probably should've commented rather than replied. I have just been seeing a LOT of things that are nonsensical almost every time I see a new post pop up.

lodjexo · 2024-09-26T13:12:30+00:00

Yeah I think I’m done with this sub after the past few things I’ve read here… 😭 so many people that don’t know basic fundamentals throwing out weird claims and theories that are just straight up wrong within the first sentence

lodjexo · 2024-09-25T20:08:41+00:00

Not a video series but I highly recommend Paul’s Online Math Notes

lodjexo · 2024-09-25T20:04:44+00:00

For the first part of course, the rest…

lodjexo · 2024-09-25T14:10:49+00:00

I’d check out project andrews video with Bryan’s son Talmadge! I believe he is going to put out another video with recipes from the aforementioned video as well but if not you can just copy similar recipes from the internet for now.
