cool stuff. i am taking away from it, that i should ask friends once in a while to film me on my project. and then create like one or two really specific exercises which focus on that concrete weakness.
from my observation i can already tell, that i might need to train for cutting lose and getting back on the wall holding pinches and pockets. also i may really need to train to pull up dynamically from pockets and getting something out of the pockets when in the end of the move and i am locking of real far from those pockets.

Nice! Sounds like you’re on the right track! Check out my Peter Pans video for foot cutting. All the best!
