So I'm starting to wear through my Skwamas (first performance shoe I have). Still have my Tarantulas for when I need to wear em long time.

Looking to get a second performance pair for when I get the Skwamas resoled. I like the softness of the Skwamas, but if I could choose I'd have a slightly tighter heel (downsizing further would get really uncomfortable).

Any suggestions?

i think climbing grip is different than other sports, I am not really convinced the finger training for climbing carries over to other sports, while maintaining high risk of injury for anyone who isn't acclimated to the specific type of training

my recommendation is to just deadlift heavy weights with no wristwraps, and do generic grip exercises

this >>123050 is correct. climbing grip strength is mostly isometric since your grip position is dictated by the shape of the holds in the rock where as I imagine the shape of the gi is to some extent subject to the grip you use and requires more contractile strength.

If you want my best guess I'd say something like towel deadhangs or pull ups progressively adding weight as your strength increases

No idea what kind of gripping you do in judo, but may as well check out what the best of the best do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MLMpr1KJDY

Adam Ondra is universally regarded as the world's best (non-ice) climber, even thought he only finished 6th in the Olympics. Magnus Midtbö is a retired ex-pro climber who's considered one of the physically strongest world class climbers.
I'm not sure if hangboarding for finger tendon strength is particularly useful for martial arts, since I don't know if that's a deciding factor in grappling, compared to grip and forearm strength. Perhaps campusing off pretty large holds would be more relevant? I think as a judoka, you could try as many "climbing" exercises as possible, and yourself be the best judge of whether it's a movement or exercise you think translates into strength for judo techniques.

I saw one youtube video, think it may have been Lattice Training, but it described an exercise for explosive pullups and chinups where you should do just two or three, but get up as quickly and explosively as possible, using as much strength you can in as few pulls as possible.

i think sports science has pretty much settled that this "explosive" tagged shit from crossfit is all stupid dogshit
there are predefined methods to increase power and responsiveness of muscles, and that is with a strictly regimented weights routine
instead of doing 2-3 pullups as quickly as possible, you should load 90lbs on your body and do 3 instead.

was in here around 9 months ago asking for advice on starting despite having tendonitis.
Unfortunately I never made it that far. Call me a faggot if you want, but I re-injured my collarbone in april and it has given me chronic minor pain ever since - it's the third time in 2 years i've done it to that same spot but instead of healing in <3 days like before, it's now every single day aches. I can't afford physio appointments, and it's left me extremely unmotivated and perhaps anxious to ever get near climban because I'm terrified of a re-injury making everything even worse.Every time I lift my left arm upwards in at least 3 different ways, I feel it. I gained 7 lbs of fat and I even forgot about the activity at all in all the other life turmoil, and feel like shit but also confirmed to myself that it may not be a real passion like I thought it was...if it was so easy to step away from. I'm doomed to just be one of those guys that looks at bouldering videos and never does anything.

I just wait two days inbetween climbing sessions. Well enough to recover from climbing until im pooped then going the gym to squeeze out the last bit of endorphins.

You also need to supply your body with enough vitamins and proteins with [spoiler]AG1[/spoiler] shakes, bars or a good regular ass meal with chicken.

I also use magnesium and try to limit how much shit I carry at work.

Good luck bro.

I'm fighting with v0-2 routes, but once I reach top after an hour of struggling, it's the best shit ever. I go only once or twice a week tho and do other sorts of exercises/sports on other days, so I don't worry that much about recovery.

I doubt that would have saved you. This shit worries me, did your partner dislodge it? Could you have belayed it away from the route/off to the side?

Yeah he stood up on a rock without testing because it was a well reviewed route online and only a 6A+, but it dislodged and he fell. I was using a grigri so thankfully didn’t have to worry too much about the catch. I was probably 2m from the wall but definitely could’ve belayed from the side which I absolutely will in future. A lesson in complacency for both of us

There's a "female" climber by the name of Brittany Goris. I'm absolutely convinced after seeing this interview / clip that they're trans based on voice and other factors but I can't find any confirmation online. Brittany was competing in women's comps as far back as 2011. Brittany has been making a lot of "female first ascent" records and it concerns me if they're trans and stealing this from real women.

They already do drug testing. Just do a genetic testing for male or female. No bullshit "I feel like XYZ today". Call yourself whatever you want, but you compete in your genetic category. The logical conclusion to this is they won't be called men's or women's sports anymore, but "XY World Cup Finals" or "XX Individual Medley". People outside the XX and XY categories can compete in their own category, like the paralympics do.

Yeah I'm thinking unfortunate genetics but real woman... Maybe intersex? The fact that they've been so active as an author / editor on LGBT children's books and seem so outspoken in their interviews about LGBT issues is another thing that reinforces being trans. If they were competing as a woman 10 years ago it's probably just had genetics or maybe she blasted steroids

In the market for a new shoe, wondering what people's recommendations were. I've been wearing the Solutions for ~2 years now and I liked it but I always found the heel hooking to be weird since its like a big foam ball protruding from my heel. IDK.
I am thinking about wearing a shoe with a softer rubber than the Solutions (4mm XS Grip 2). I have a medium shaped foot and fit in the solutions well. In summary:
-Medium/Soft Rubber (XS Grip 2 or softer)
-Aggressive
-Soft midsole
-Good heel hooking and toe hooking
-Velcro preferred
-Designed for mainly indoor climbing
-Any price!
Right now I am thinking about the:
-La Sportiva Theories (My #1 Option at the moment but I hear that the heel-hooks hurt)
-La Sportiva Solution Comps
Also if anyone has worn "women" versions of these shoes I would love to hear about if you found them any different or maybe even better from the standard versions. Leaning towards the Theory but this stupid chart is making me second guess myself and go with the Solution comps instead

LS theory is an amazing shoe for indoor bouldering, good outdoors too but excels at smearing, not great for stuff with small edges. The sensitivity of the shoe is unparalleled, not even the dragos match it. Comfy right out of the box, too.

I've also started wearing the Mad Rock Drones and they are the perfect compliment to the theory, best heel of any shoe out there, seriously feels like cheating when heel hooking with these. They're a bit stiffer than the theory, they are better on edges while still being quite sensitive. Hard shoe to get into at first, but if you can get into them they are definitely worth a shot. Cheap, too. You'll see lots of pros wearing them outdoors in vids.

noticed a large influx of trannies and other maladapted individuals to the bouldering gym in the last year or two. fortunately they do not shit up the outdoor crags or system boards (yet). climbings reputation as a safe space/encouraging sport is probably the cause here.

there are a lot of extreme fatties, entire families of fat parents and their fat kids. i don't believe that climbing is a good place to start if you are obese.
i think it is the result of a targeted marketing campaign to get fatties into commercial gyms so they can "yes queen slay"
i have only seen a few troons, but a relatively large amount of lgbt people. at least those people are usually under 30 bmi

climbing is okay if you're moderately fat and have reasonable expectations that you're gonna top rope and be stuck with 5.5-5.7 for a long time. There's a lot of 5.2-5.5 stuff outdoors they'd be fine on too.

What I despise is trying to sell 300 pounders that they can be a serious climber without losing weight. There was an issue of gym climber a while back about how an athlete sponsored by an Italian shoe brand coped. And while I understand it's hard walking into a gym when you're out of shape, it was just him whining about not being able to send without losing weight. And how his plateau was so low and he was just gonna live like that.

Not everyone has to be Alex Handjob but I don't want people that won't get in decent shape acting like they can't live without climbing.

i have seen twig twink boys and fat-ish porky office job dudes get relatively ripped from a couple years of bouldering and a bit of weight training (0 to one arm pull up, etc..) but I have never seen a fat fuck transform from it.

imagine if they tried to sell MMA or judo to hamplanets, its basically the same thing.
tell butterball to get greased up and spin around on the mats to lose weight, its a disservice to the sport and to the fatties who participate. there is absolutely a barrier to entry to climbing, maybe shoe companies are just trying to hock shoes at whatever fatties will buy them, but its not good for anyone really

I have a climbing partner who absolutely was 300+ when he first tried climbing and is now 180 with a six pack. But he's not your normal dude about it and it took him a long time and miles of climbing to get there. And to your point, nobody babied him about his weight. If he wanted to climb well he knew he had to get in shape and stop eating his feelings.

Hello /cg/. I am a 6b+ climber new into the sport. I don't have a real workout regiment since i dont really know wtf to do in the gym after i've finished climbing.

Right now I do:

4x sets of pullups to failure (about 6 reps in the beginning, last set is usually like 3)
3x sets of Bicycle kicks on the ground (core) until failure
4x sets of bicep curls into shoulder press until nice burn. (9kg on each side so 8 sets)
3x sets bench press (30kg 7 reps)
3x sets of squats until failure (about 20kg+15kg)
3x sets of some lower back exercise where i hold a 10kg weight on my chest and raise my body on this thing, until failure.

I train 2 times a week but i wanna add more days. My recovery rate used to be like 2 days but i havent had real post-workout pain(? idk wtf its called) since like the first day i actually went to the gym so i think i could climb every other day by this point.

I also fuck around a little bit on the hangboard but my friends tell me that I shouldnt even bother at my level.

I feel like since i dont really know wtf to do to improve i just try to max out on everything until failure and it seems really amateurish. I also wanna dip my toes into adding weight when doing pullups and stuff so I can REALLY improve. Any good directions to regiments you guys have tried when you were beginners like me? Like I don't know how to work out. Do I just put on more and more weight? How do i make myself make more reps on pullups? Add weights or just do bodyweight only???? confuse

Also im 173cm/59kg if thats relevant in any way.

Resole is the more economical solution, if you can get it cheap enough. And before you wear to the toe cap, which potentially will raise the price of just a simple resole.

But if there are no local resole shops, and your shoes are cheap enough, then just buy new, which is what I've been doing. Kinda sucks from an environmental standpoint, but whatever.

yes, that was her stated reasoning, but we know what she really meant...
anyway, in all seriousness i think educating the athletes like stasa proposed is fine but forcing them to gain weight to meet arbitrary bmi requirements is stupid. nippon women are always quite skinny, and if they want to be that way why not let them? plus, muscles maybe gives janja an edge on some of the boulders, less weight gives the skinny lead girls an edge on the lead route, but it's not like janja hasn't beaten skeletor laura rogora on the lead wall before. let the athletes decide on their own

stasa hasn't been the same after she became muscular. she was better when she was slim. now she's always at the commentator box during the finals instead of competing. same with alannah yip, another muscular girl. i think in general, bulky/muscular build isn't the optimal build for women's climbing. its the opposite which is slim/toned. look at ai mori, chaeyun seo, natalia grossman etc. i cant remember when a muscular girl had a podium finish. even miho nonaka is struggling against ai mori in japan. that's why janja wants more bulky women instead of slim/petite girls so that she can dominate them kek

Anonymous at Tue, 6 Dec 2022 04:07:02 UTC No. 128105

>>128091
alannah has always been mid
i think it's partially a matter of climbing style for why more muscular girls don't do well. if you're muscular but don't use that muscle to be dynamic, you're going to be worse going static on the same holds as compared to skinnier girls. that's why janja/miho are good, but chloe caulier (probably misspelled, the belgian girl) isn't, they're able to actually use the muscle and be dynamic
oversimplifying of course but i think not using the build correctly is part of the problem

4. Increasing the compliance of all the pulleys before climbing should be risk-reducing. This comes from more even finger loading (4-finger drape, 4-finger half on 30-35mm edge etc.) each day before training.

does anyone know what "4-finger drape" means?

I agree with >>129099
You should be able to avoid most if not all finger injuries with proper training and cool down.

1. You should be doing a few open handed hangboarding sets before or after each session to build up finger strength.
2.You should be taking about 10 minutes to stretch and massage your fingers and hands after each session.
3.You shouldn't be having sessions two days in a row. If the injury keeps happening on the same fingers, you are not allowing enough time for them to heal after injury.

If you are doing all of this and still getting finger injuries, then you are using improper technique. Accidents do happen, so it could just be bad luck.

Talk with people at the gym and if you spark up a conversation just talk to them and ask for their name. Remember these names and call them by name next time you see them. If they don't want shit to do with you they will ignore you and then they can just fuck off.

I shouldnt really be getting injured anymore, I started hangboarding, my fingers were getting noticeably stronger and I always warm up thoroughly because I dont want to be injured. My first two were at the same time because I kept climbing not realising I was injured, after that I got one from overtraining (climbing outdoors wayyy too much while I was travelling) and this one I think I just did this dyno to a crimp one too many times in the gym, and catching it just strained my finger a lot. lucky it is just a sprain I should be fully recovered-ish within 5 more weeks or so.

Damn, the charisma on Magnus Midtbø! Not a strong climber by any means but I'd listen the guy talk for hours

I love Geek Climber, literally the best climber out there but do I hate how much chalk he uses all the time

I went climbing outside

I sent my first v5 yesterday. A regular (total bro) convinced me to try it, saying it was my style & that I could handle it. Turns out I actually am capable of v5 climbing, and it was just a mental block I was placing on myself. Having a lot of fun trying out all the v5s at the gym now, looking for my next project
