yo, still watching…. Can’t help but notice that the blockers of the totd have text. there is a thumb technique that crack climbers use in thin cracks. which is to pull with fingers and push with thumb on the opposite side. might not be useful on this one cuz it is sloppy but pretty useful when there is a blocked super bad crimp.
hey Zach, could i ask you about the nature of the old finger tweaks, and if they felt archy not particularly at the pulleys but at the finger joint or shaft instead? cos i just noticed in ur hangs ur hands pretty wide apart, which causes ur wrist to be unaligned, thus the collateral ligaments of your finger joints could get disproportionally strained, meaning finger tweaks/injuries. And the tweaks appeared around the same time u got the clevo setup. I had a similar thing happen because by hands were a bit wider than usual, I was training with a higher load and it tweaked my joints a bit. If you're not having any problems all good, but if it is persisting, maybe smt you could look into? I remedied it by just widening my elbows a bit to align my wrist straight down or just squishing my fingers against the inner edge to make it a bit narrower.
Yeah it’s mostly my joints- my middle finger has completely healed but my pointer finger comes and goes. There is still a pretty visible bump on the furthest joint of my pointer finger. Thanks for the info! I will try to keep this in mind and align my wrists 👍
Yes that slab was surprisingly awesome! Honestly the calf raises with a dumbbell that I’m doing in this workout really work wonders. Even after a couple months of training them you should see slab gains imo Also climbing a lot in a super soft shoe, especially on small feet, will make your toes work harder and strengthen them over time
Hey Zach, I was wondering what is your pull up bar that allows you to mount your beastmaker on it in your room. Looks slick and I'd like to have the same! Thanks as always for the video!
Can I ask you - is there any specific reason why you do deadlifts with a parallel feet stance? It puts more load onto rotational stabilization muscles, as well as rotational force onto knee joints. Just in case if you're not aiming any specific goals with this technique, consider trying a stance with knees and toes pointing outwards in more natural manner. Not only it may reduce a probability of unfavourable outcome from excercise, but also adds an option of a more explosive execution if you want to work on your explosivity.
Are you talking about the screw home mechanism or ??? You can definitely deadlift with your toes pointed somewhat outwards if that’s a natural foot position for you, it may also help consciously contract your glutes better, but I’ve never seen anyone argue parallel feet stance is injurious. His form looks perfectly fine at least at the weight currently being used, could maybe coordinate the leg and back movements better to make it more fluid, but no knee cave or anything. IMO no reason to change things that have worked well before in a huge training block like this
i do it pretty often and i think it helps as so much as to make you trust your feet and focus on your breathing. other than that i dont think there's much merit in slack lining as training over something like surfing or skating, those will help balance as well.
Zack I have a VERY important question for you.What would you say is the best gym to visit because I am planning a trip to Canada but I don’t know exactly where yet this can help sculpt an idea
Haha for sure: Rose Bloc, Beta Bloc & Bloc Shop have gotta be top 3 in the country, and they’re all a 30min drive from each other! If we’re looking out west the Boulderhouse gyms in Victoria are great, and in Ontario Climber’s Rock is top tier :)
Babe wake up new richardsons climbing video
Beautiful rage sticker at 18:49 👀👀👀👀
🗽 Hip-opening on slopers... thank you, that was a really good one!
Wow, so many comp boulders. 💪
.
Yess I get to see the workout very nice ;)

Haha yesss I have done that before! In Germany I think!
Maybe it would’ve worked here, I didn’t think of it! Would make a great TOTD

Me, looking at my hips : You heard him, bro. Let's get you to open up a bit more.
My hips : _Don't even think about it_

Time to turn on post notifications. I wasn’t early enough 😢
amazing white v8 slab at 13mins, u have any tips in terms of toe/foot strength + trust? no hand slabs are becoming so common im strugglin'

@@richardsonsclimbing got it, I have slightly stiffer shoes now, but I'll try more calf raises!
hey zach, for your workouts, like the D-JS, MP-PS, how long do you rest in between after you finish the first two exercises?
3 minutes between sets and between exercises! Maybe a little longer between exercises especially if there’s a lengthy setup process like deadlift
Hey Zach, I was wondering what is your pull up bar that allows you to mount your beastmaker on it in your room. Looks slick and I'd like to have the same! Thanks as always for the video!
The entire setup is the Clevo Doorway! We have a 10% discount code as well - RICHARDSONSCLIMBING (link is at the bottom of the description too)

Oh interesting, I was never told to focus on this! Thanks for the advice, I’ll get started on this better form ;)

Random question, what shorts do you wear when you climb?
These ones are under armour! I got them a while ago at a sport check so I don’t remember the model :/
@@richardsonsclimbing thank you!
Will you be making a vid on the canyon masters event?
Not sure yet, I’ll have to ask around to see if anyone got footage
have you ever considered (not that i am doing it, but just poped in my head) slacklining for better slab sensations:)
I haven’t! But I have some friends that have in the past and say that it is helpful!
