Wow this is great. Just subscribed.

Thanks for sharing your struggles with training it's reassuring to know that it's the same for high level competitors and interesting to know how you dealt with it this time. I'm a state-level competitor in Australia and I don't know much about training so I'm finding your series really interesting right now :)

I've been following you for awhile now. You're way too hard on yourself kid.

Easy for me to say but you train to perform in competition not to perform in training.

As a climber I read this like "knowing when to break shoulders" lol :)

you sound sick bro

Accumulated fatigue is very real Might be that you just need a little deload (literally as I'm typing this you mention that you did have a deload) Could be that your recovery isn't quite up to par or intensity might just be too high Cool to see how climbers are using more exercise science these days There are just so many extra variables that are hard to account for with such a complex sport as opposed to strength sports

One thing I’d add to tip #5… you can take a boulder that’s too difficult for you and use one or two holds from another boulder to make it doable - and you can do that in reverse (take an easy boulder and ignore a couple holds). I feel like the jump between boulder grades can be huge sometimes, and this seems to allow smaller jumps between grades and allow you to try hold types that are normally reserved for higher levels. Thanks for all the great info!

Hey Zach, at 1:54 I noticed that you do a lot of small quicksteps to approach the run and jump. I once saw a vid from Louis Parkinson where he said his approach was to measure up where he wanted his foot to land on the wall and from there take big steps backwards and running while tracing them. After I tried that way I found it pretty useful because you didn't have to look at your feet and coordinate them kindof. Just thought it was an interesting approach to share!

Really enjoyed this video and I appreciated hearing your insight into your own training

i was on high volume trtaining aswell and started lifting but want to achieve 7A this year. i had so much muscle sourness i am also waiting untill januari before training hard in the gym again XD

Really like the content and we keep going man! One thing that would make the vids even better, is some kind of text/transition between the sessions, so that we can also see the (possible) differences between the sessions. It als makes a bit more sense then. Good luck at Pan Ams we will be rooting for you!

I can't believe I'm able to watch such high-quality videos! I wish my coach could teach me like this. I can't wait to watch all the videos on this channel. Thank you!

Hey Zach, I'm curious to hear what you mean when you define a session as good or bad? Is it more about the grade that you're able to send that session, or is it more of a feeling thing (e.g. intuition on the wall, endurance, strength, etc.)

Love the tip of the day. Can see it applying to some of my projects, will give it a shot!

It is really inspiring to see you struggling and being honest about it. It's really brave to talk about it so openly, even more so when you are competing at such a high level. Just stay motivated and don't lose sight of the bigger picture! I'm sure you'll be back to your usual self in no time.

Emil Abrahamsson recently posted a video about what he and a research team discovered about hangboard training. Tldw, you get the same strength gain from hangboarding by doing lighter loads regularly rather than super heavy loads. In addition, for people who are more explosive and load fingers a lot with their normal training (like comp boulders), the lighter loading on hangboard can add to finger strength without hitting and diminishing returns. It's a very interesting watch and there is more stuff they talk about / I might not be portraying it probably but I figure it would help your training out a lot. Thank you the vids and the very real updates. You always get me super motivated to climb

Hey it's super cool you're covering the training struggles. I think everyone can kind of relate to this, be it from their own training, or personal life. Personally, I can just say that you really inspire me to try and motivate me to keep going when things become difficult. Smart idea to change the training based on the outcomes you described, too. Wish you all the best for recovery and Pan Ams.

Toby Roberts said in his olympic video that he also felt the same kind of way, he trained really hard and he got so fatigued and weak he felt like his training wasn't working. Long story short tho, it paid of in the end. Idk if you have watched that video but it was somewhere in the middle i think. Good watch.

what shoes is he wearing

Amazing and comprehensive video. I learned a lot from this video. Missing from the completeness: high step and rock over. Rock over frees a leg and two arms. Like the frog requires a strong leg to stand up.

Very nice and comprehensive video. There is a missed technique: stemming. I like thumbing especially a thumb crimp or a thumb mantel.

Zach is actually human, he didn't climb some boulders.

11:26 v8’s in hell:

More spray wall board climbing like this!

Awesome content, but I wish you had listed out the aspects that distinguish a v6 from a v5 and below like you did in the v5 video compared to v4 and below, that was very helpful

looking forward to the next session!

Lol your chalk bag is sooo funny!

🔥🔥🔥‼️

chicken chalk bag is AWESOME!

Whats the song at 11:03 ? Also great vid!

We missed you Maddie! Great tips, precise, to the point.

Everyone: Allez Zac: ✨Allé ✨ cool video, great guests!

Insane spraywall :) i am jealous

Must be so good having all the boards be adjustable - even the moon board. I think I would love to see a video where you try the moon board at higher angles like 50 degree because I've always been curious to know what the moon board would be like at higher angles.

SO EPIC 🤩🤩🤩

15:35 slopercentage 😂

Such great advice and detailed explanations! Thanks, guys!

literally my favorite gym ever!!!!

15:18 was that a toot my dood?

thanks for the fun session! hope to do more and we'll double check the mics next time ;)

That's a beautiful spray wall

that shoulder styrenght crazy

cant wait for the first vlog on that adjustable compwall!!!

Sorry about the audio! One of the mic’s was off the whole time and we didn’t realize 🥲

Daddy and Maddie. Like the new style of videos.

Awesome video for new move ideas thank you !

Really like the format where you pick a climb first, and then talk through the principles, instead of the other way around. Just seems more straightforward and efficient way to get the point across.

Great video.

Excellent video and very helpful. Thank you.
