One of the best compliments I have ever received. I’m all about good vibes. Cut back on climbing and do some rehab before it gets worse :) thanks for watching
Currently working through a self-diagnosed TFCC and the thing that makes it the worst injury I’ve had is how easy it is to reset all your progress grabbing a hold wrong. As someone who didn’t want to stop climbing, I’ve had many self-inflicted setbacks 😭😭😭Thankfully after getting it strengthened enough after 6 weeks grabbing holds at a bad angle only results in pain but no setbacks now. Hoping to have this injury fixed by mid fall at this point. The only advice I can give anyone for this is to take it seriously cause it likes to hang around
@@TheJustinConnor i've been going back and forth for the last 2-3 weeks about whether i should take a break from climbing and wait until the pain is gone or just keep climbing. But now I know that I should definitely take a break and start rehab. It just sucks because right now it dosnt feel like a serious injury. But i guess if i dont want it to get worse i need to stop now😅
Ive been injured when climbing but i dont want to have problems when im old because of climbing, its a little scary and my dad always complains about his pain from injuries when he was a skater kid.
Great that you are thinking about it at an early age! I really think that being strong and well rounded across your body - “fit for sport” is the term they like to use - could go a long way towards avoiding or minimizing injuries. You got it 💪
Anecdotally, I did a lot of calisthenics during the pandemic, and after training the false grip, my wrists have felt great and strong. For a stint, I tried wrist curls, but they would always cause my wrists to crack which dissuaded me. I also worked doing the typical wrist rehab exercises you can do with an offset weight like a frying pan, moving your wrist around, but they were very uninspiring. Using the false grip always felt more useful since you could practice pull-ups, muscle ups, or other calisthenic exercises while making your wrists stronger (2 birds 1 stone). I certainly don't know how well false grip work works as an injury prevention, but it seems to have worked for me! But, it certainly is terrible for rehab :/ hope you all heal up soon!
Interesting… I hadn’t considered the false grip for this, I’ll keep it in mind! The wrist curls give me similar issues right now and don’t feel that good… the other exercises feel ok, we’ll see. Thanks for the tip and for watching! 🤙
I had tfcc on both wrist. First on my right then shortly afterwards on the left. Couldnt even supinate my wrist completely which affected gym workouts as well. Still went climbing for a few months but lesser frequency (once every 2 weeks). Felt a lot better but the deviating direction and underhooks still hurt and persisted for so long. Then i decided to take a complete rest for 3-4 months whilst going to gym and do some active rehab like wrist curls, dead hang, fingerboard, bicep, tricep workouts which all helped. Now finally injury free. Obviously had to slowly work my way back up the grades but didnt take too long. Never forget to warm up again now. Hope this helps!
Glad to hear you are all healed up, Asher! Great advice right there. I’m hoping I’ve caught it early enough to not have to take so much time off climbing… TBD I suppose, thanks for watching! 🤙
I'm surprised I haven't gotten an injury yet. I'm 31 years old, have about a year and a half climbing and I'm HEAVY. Im 250 lbs, and it's NOT all muscle lol, I'm climbing at about V4 to low V5 gym grades, do some outdoor sport and bouldering too. Its coming for me tho, I can feel it. I think the only reason I haven't gotten one is because I started taking collagen, protein and creatine daily once I hit about V3 level. I felt like I unless I lost weight I couldn't keep up with my brother and his friend that have been climbing alot longer and are in better shape, so my solution? Supplements. I don't wanna lose weight I like food too much! I'm about on par with them now but I struggle with severe overhangs and some sit starts, again my fault for not just losing the weight lol.
Dude that’s awesome! Actually, I think if you try to lose weight at the same time it often comes with a protein deficit which definitely contributes to injury risk. I like the approach… a caution tho, I started climbing at 29 and started my first string of injuries around 31 lol. So just opt for more rest and recovery and keep this streak going! 🤙
And always leaves losing some weight in your back pocket as another lever to flip and really turn it up! In the meantime, it’s like training with a weight vest 🤷♂️
@@TheJustinConnor Yeah I suppose if I ever like climbing MORE than eating junk food enough to lose the weight I'd probably suddenly spike in my climbing ability lol.
Your vibe is immaculate! Timing as well, I'm dealing with mild symptoms of this right now

You know how lame I am now? I’m studying engineering economics for a professional engineering exam

Sorry to hear that, hope you recover fully soon! Good advice tho, nothing worse than taking a huge step back for one silly climb
The timing of this video couldnt be more perfect lol
😂 it kills me how many people are saying that

Smart! Will mean less time off climbing if you do it before it gets bad

No holds barred!!!
I’ve barred myself from a couple of hold types at the moment lol
Ooof, both of my wrists are hurting the same way at the moment. Good timing on the video release.
😬 sorry bud. Definitely sucks. Rehab video coming soon!
And here I thought no pain no gain…
True for rehab only - 3 out of 10

@@TheJustinConnor Yes! Im interested to see how/if prevention will do to a person who caught it early! Cant wait for your epic discovery!
😂 we shall see!

I’m the last one standing 😭
I think if we all get the same body part injured at one time it could trigger something horrible…
