    I had a session with Louis in 2018 I think. I was visiting from new Zealand and had an injury so we were a bit limited. I did all of these with him that day and I still do them now. In fact yesterday at the gym I was sharing them with someone whos a relatively new climber who is now quite strong but with sometimes poor technique :)

    This is an amazing video. I came into it thinking "oh okay these are some things that I should really be doing that I'm not, I guess I'll force myself to do them" but while watching it they looked really fun! Now I can't wait to try them. All the examples and tips you gave are also awesome. The example on the black climb during the one touch challenge was especially awesome because I've thought that exact thing before and gave up because of it.
    I'm still a pretty new climber and I really didn't like thinking about this stuff but you've tricked me into being excited about it! Curse you! :D

    I tried "The Robot" the other day at the gym. Awesome drill! I was so impressed that I just singed-up for the Catalyst Online Squad! About the drill.. It was surprisingly challenging, partly because my bouldering gym has almost no moderate terrain. Still, I could feel my brain working as hard as my muscles as I tried to figure out how to avoid swinging. And, because I was mostly on slight overhangs, I feel like this could be really useful for building the type of lock-off strength I know I need to get into outdoor V4. That said, if you are at my level or below, it might be a good idea to start on slab (if your gym has it) while you get used to the drill. Cool stuff!

  • @nilsp9426
    @nilsp9426 8 месяцев назад +13

    Love those drills!
    One niche one for Slabs I also like:
    - pick a rather easy slab
    - get on to the start position
    - pretend that every handhold is on fire: only ever touch the wall with your hands!
    - balance your way up the climb
    - get lots of balance training on an otherwise totally boring climb
    - profit!

  • @ST-vt4nu
    @ST-vt4nu 7 месяцев назад +2

    The last one is something I really need to work on. I adjust my hands and feet so much even on simple routes. I don't blame myself for adjusting on a scary project climb, but I do it so much when I really don't need to at all and should start building more confidence.

    • @pizzafunghi3537
      @pizzafunghi3537 7 месяцев назад

      I have the same habit, too. When I first tried to minimise regripping, I noticed I often do it to avoid painful grips, like small wrinkles of skin between the bones and the hold. It is still worth fighting against the habit of regripping, but I’d rather regrip than climb painfully.

    4:38 fun anecdote: Before I knew what pogoing was, I once tried to kick my 6'0" tall friend (I'm 5'0") in the face (all in good fun of course), and I swung my leg so hard that I swept myself off my own feet and landed on my back. That's how I learned about the movement of a pogo 😂.

  • @JustinCasey216

  • @confusingdot
    @confusingdot 8 месяцев назад +1

    A drill i made is called "High feet, high hands". It's pretty obvious but first get your feet as high as possible before then trying to get your hands as high as possible. It teaches you a lot of footwork and body positioning and then it also has a slightly dynamic/reachy portion to it as well.
