Something interesting that I noticed - Brandon Halpin switches his right and left leg in the middle of the climb up as he is executing the pulling (lats + arms) and pushing (right leg). This allows him to plant with his left leg and push again, which gives him the really fast top out. I hope I am making sense
Brandon's flexibility is ridiculous; he has his legs pulled up in a tuck as he is finishing the top out, making it easy for him to transition between the top and the drop seamlessly.
Cool stuff man; great to see some analytical thought process behind the community. My comments reflect what I would expect outside on a wall - I'm sure the wood along with the atmosphere have a play in how these athletes move.
Hey Ryan, Thank you so much for making these instructional videos. Luv these and gain a lot from your insight. Thank you for doing this for all of us!! Pk
There's a few things to note between the first two athletes versus the last three. First off, look at the spine. How is every athlete extending the spine at the top and bottom peak? Is there extension not only through the crown of the head but also through the heels?
These videos are good. I like the analysis of the techniques. It's really helpful. Prepare for the "competition" comments anyway man lol. I can't wait for more though :)
Brandon had some pretty solid posture, there's very minor minute changes. That'd be with some feet stuff. Ryan, you could afford to extend more through your thoracics and cervicals, specifically the top portion. You said Justin's was great power... hahaha no, I would say greater strength. Andrew's looked painful and really tight (Muscularly). There's certain times to be tight through extensions but he's tight throughout. That'll result in some bad health. Charles needs some coordination work.
Look at the neck also. I don't think the head should be extending back as much as the last few guys did at the bottom. One of the bigger differences is the medial versus lateral rotation of the elbows. Hold yourself up in a support on a wall, where should your elbows be pointing? Should be no different the transition from the hang to support. Same thing with the knees. Knees should not be going away from the midline, that's shit form. Arms reflect legs.
u should get international ! with that i Event ! i would love to help if i can... and i wanna try to beat the Climb up record ;) how much is it? 5 in 10,5 sec.? right! peace Harmat
It's not competition bullshit, your first video failed to capture the intentions and promoted poor ideals. Saying 'Yeah but I didn't mean it, shut upp' is a bit of a cop out.

Really enjoyed this Ryan! Excited to see more.
This is something no one has really done before, I really appreciate you doing it.

Climb Ups are something i need/will work on for sure.
Are you going to do any more of these analysis? Was looking forward to seeing the vault to precision and lache analysis.

Yes! These videos are going to be so helpful, I can't wait for the rest of them.
It would be great if you publish an analysis of the other techniques that we see in the Parkourlympics event
just saw this now! I like how you go in depth! I could really use your tips to improve my own climb ups ! =) keep it up !

This video def helped me understand how to be more efficient with my climb ups very helpful!
Amazing work as always

Found this after watching Storror's parkour Olympic video. Had to compare Josh and Toby's technique to yours.
nice, this is a bit outdated but any good insights or takeaways? maybe I should make a new one with everything I've learned since this 1...
Thanks reyan
This type of competition is actually healthy imo. Striving for the best possible time inevitably increases efficiency.
how did u build this wall in your gym ?
Some day I want to train with you sir ;)
You got amazing techniques with your climb ups.
Thanks! This helps a lot!
Everybody's got a favorite side - do you recommend training your off side?
cool
Who else thought that the videos were playing then rewinding repeatedly?
i never seen you do comments...
Ryan speaks about this, and also does the same thing.

5 climb ups in 9.75 sec. by Brandon Halpin of Boulder, CO.
i still can't do it
