I met up with Louis so he could show me some tips for how to get the most out of training at your local climbing wall. Try them out - and let me know how you get on in the comments!
NEW How to climb your hardest route: • HOW TO CLIMB YOUR HARD...
After a year of trad climbing I was the weakest I had been for a couple of years so it was great to hang with Louis and try some systems to improve my over-all climbing.
This video gives you 5 quality drills for climbing training :
- Foot work precision
- Rock-over training
- Static lock-off training
- Core strength training
- Pull-up power training
We did a couple of others but to keep this video punchy the ended up on the cutting room floor.. however, needless to say, I felt tired at the end of this session.

Every time Louis says "Good!" or "Nice!" I feel better about life. Even though I'm just sitting in my room watching RUclips vids
It's awesome to have someone at the bouldering gym telling you you're doing good though, I have had many tops where I only finished them because of the support of people, without them I would have given up on many attemtps
He's damn encouraging even with the smallest things, love it!
@@Dimitry4Life climbing in pairs is really the best. I love having someone that can climb at a similar level and help me fill in the gaps when I get stuck on something.
not bad!
Louis seems like a guy that would teach at Hogwarts....if it existed.
hahaha so true
It exists.
Definitely a Hufflepuff
More like Woody Allen
Could you please work on normalising the audio? Headphones on, keep getting volume up because I can't hear what you're saying, exercise 2 and suddenly I am about to throw headphones away from me as it's so loud!
Louis is such a funny and nice guy ;)
Really nice tips, I've just started climbing and I feel like I'm pretty good in strength but lack the other two. I also have a bad habit of trying to rely on my strength to make bad moves work which obviously does me no favors (currently taking a week off for minor injury recovery). Next time I go to the gym I think I'll just focus on trying these drills out rather than trying to force myself through harder and harder problems.
The rock over nose touch drill is brilliant! Definitely need to work on my body position and leg/core technique
Great exercises! Silent feet, nose rockover, static hovering lock-off, overhang leg raise, overhang pull-ups.
Awesome. I'm seriously middle aged and have a busted ligament in my right shoulder on top of having hypermobile joints. Better footwork and decent lockoff strength are my two biggest needs. Actualy better core engagement as well!
Oh my I’m in pain just watching. Can’t wait to try these out . Thank you
Awesome, a lot more enjoyable than classic training ! I'll definitly try that, cheers !
Exercice 1 1:30
Exercice 2 3:38
Exercice 3 4:59
Woah. Imma try these
i used some of these methods, worked well so far!
what a fantastic coach Louis is.
This is super helpful! I’m still very much in the beginning stages of learning climbing techniques and my strength isn’t fully there yet, and I’m not a huge fan of weights and whatnot to build up strength. Definitely going to try these techniques tomorrow!
Definitely going to try some of these at my school gym! Thanks for the sick vid Nate
0RANGOTANG nice! No problem!
0RANGOTANG you have a wall at your school?!? So lucky.
Thanks a lot for this video, I can't wait to try these excercises out
This was super helpful as a new climber. Thanks!
Just started climbing a couple weeks ago and going to try a couple of these out the next time I go to the gym.
i LOVE this. I basically can skip pull day at the gym now and just train push and legs 🤣
I really like Louis Parkinson's demeanor. I'd love to have him as a climbing teacher. Too bad I'm in the U. S.
I like this idea of functional training exercises, I find it hard doing specific training away from the wall because all i want to do is climb, so will deffinatley try these exercises out next climb!
Just do yourself a favor and force yourself to train on a bar. You will see a lot more progress than doing this.
@@topanteon As a beginner yeah, but after that training on a bar is pretty useless. You're never going to have a handhold that good if you're climbing anything over V5/6C. So you'll end up getting muscle which you won't be able to use in climbing so essentially useless added weight.
Well done fellas. Brilliant again Louis, I am enjoying all your vids, today with a student willing to learn. Great, I enjoyed it. I’m a subber.
Glad to admit I was wrong and quite naive to think I was too experienced to use such techniques. They are dynamite! Thanks for uploading this video.
Wow two of my favourite climbers/RUclipsrs on the same video!!!
Nice tips too.
These are great!!! Drills for any sport is important!
Harrowall!!! My fave place to climb!
Excellent exercises -- will be trying this out in my gym. Thanks, Nate!
These should help me a lot in strength training, especially my core which is my weakest part of my climbing.
I'm going to implement some of these! Thanks for the insight!
Brilliant Louis. You are just the best coach!
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Laura!
That looked like fun! I'll definitely use those when am on the wall next!
Thanks for the tips. X
Love Louis!! Cant wait to try all of his techniques next time i climb
I feel like to be good at climbing (bouldering) you need to be light and build technique along with forearm/hand strength
i showed this to all of my friends and they are enyoing bouldering much more with these little games.
That is super cool! Glad you are finding it useful!
Cool video some really good things to incorporate in my climbing sessions
lol i caught one of the vids being out of place because dear maria count me in ended in hte beginning then later in the video, the beginning of the song was playing. CAUGHT
I wish a coach like that
i really like that you can barely hear them
In the first exercise, what does "keep your toes open" mean?
He reminds me of the James Veitch of climbing
I'd say that's some of Parkinson's best stuff
Great video!
Awesome!! Thank you for your videos.. Love the content. I've just started - 3 sessions in 😃 Are there any books that might be helpful for beginner climbers? Thanks for your input!
Some great tips here!!
These are very good exercises, why on exercise three should you avoid using technique??
Is this Harrow wall? Looks real familiar
Please make the music a little louder, I was able to hear a few words.
8:20 it gets easier after this 😂😂, the lies. nice drills, i can't wait to try them !
Has anyone got any ideas for strength training for younger teenagers that are safe I’ve been warned by lots of people to be careful?! Xx
Lattice training might have documented something. You do need to be cautious!
Thx so much x
A good exercise is Baoding style ball rotations. That is where you rotate two balls in the hand. Helps warm up and strengthen forearm muscles. This video shows example: ruclips.net/video/0zwVQgfWd74/видео.html
What does Louis mean by toes open?
Harrowall 🙌
Great video! I can't wait to try first hand how bouldering feels next Thursday! Unrelated question here, sorry. But I really have to know what song is playing in the background towards the end of the video? Thank you!
Try shazam app... I don't know myself :D
@@NateMurphy Thanks for replying man! Will do thanks!
It seems like on this earth there are no boulder videos without annoying music..
Watching a video about training and a commercial for McDonald's comes on...
hahaha, i don't choose the Ads.. but maybe it gives you something to burn off? :D (otherwise check out my new cooking show - ruclips.net/p/PLpCjmWB1BRq1g5FQ-dvJYeeIpwCXcQb_w )
Mad I got coached by Louis a couple weeks ago I'm still shite tho
He’s like a young Michael Cane
i see him every day at the wall
If Michael Caine was a climber.....lol (Lovely tips btw, thanks!)
I can't do the nose thing now with covid going around...
Maybe don't put music over the top of talking, particularly when there's background noise.
You can bring the music up when moments of no talking though if you want. :)
Unfortunately this is just the music at the climbing wall! Would have loved for it to have been silent! :)
It’s really hard to hear that smart guy over the music around 2:20 for me.
Louis looks familiar, does he go to RCC?
So you don't need to follow a route (a specific colour) when doing these drills?
I think mostly you do as it sets a challenge but you certainly don’t have to! What ever works for you!
Am I the only one that thinks Louie looks like Sid from Ice Age?
Nate, man :D Simon Quarterman looks just like you (an actor from Westworld)
P.S. I will try those exercises on my next training :)
haha not the first to say this... I do these every time I train indoors.. the core stuff is so brutal!
It looks like the hardest one, yeah
Gotta try that core drill, looks sweet! Good luck with your bouldering! ;)
It is a good one.. and thanks!
What was the song playing towards the end there?
2:00 There's a story at the bottom of this botttllleeeeeee
Climbing gym playing “Dear Maria Count Me In?”
Is it 2009?
Louis has such climber-hands 🤣
Hey guys. Im pretty heavy (93kg)for a climber but i love to do
it and i want to get much better. I can do weighted pull ups with 40 kg and im able to do dragonflags and a lot of ab stuff so my strength is not so bad i think. But what can i do to get stronger for climbing? Or are there some routines that i can do to improve?
Can't you do the ones Louis demonstrates in the video?
I'm assuming you are relatively new to climbing. You should focus just on climbing for the first two years. After two years your body will have adopted to climbing and you can train on the campusboards and campuswall. Training with rings is also recommended. Before that, to get better you only have to climb.
kmg1100 yeah im pretty new im climbing for 2 weeks now but im hooked. Just wanted to know if there is everything besides that what is shown in the video maybe special core work or any grip work that is cary over to the wall. I think i will take a climbing coach for technique work so i know what os correct. Thanks for your answer thats helppful =)
Haris Zukic Cool to hear that you're hooked! You probably have a history of doing strength training, which is good. Keep up the core exercises but do not try to improve grip strength with additional exercises untill the first two years. This is how most people get injured. Working on your antagonists is also recommended, so bench press and rotator cuff exercises are awesome! Finally, you can always ask for advice from some of the beasts in your gym!
40kg 🤭 that’s my weight
How would you adapt the pull-up exercise if your not strong in pull-ups? I can do chin ups but pull ups are my weak point
Add a little bit of assistance: in order of increasing 'help', you might try smearing one (two) foot (feet) against the wall; placing one (two) foot (feet) on a chip; placing one (two) foot (feet) on a foot hold. If you use your feet as I've suggested to reduce the effort required to pull yourself up (mostly with your arms), you could also vary the angle of the wall--presumably the less steep the wall is, the better your feet can be used to reduce the effort. Alternatively, you can start by working on your pullups with a hang board and incorporate a pulley & weight system to assist yourself. Once you're stronger on the hang board (ie able to do multiple asymmetrical pullups with full body weight), you'll be able to do the exercise described in the video.
louis legit looks like Hugh grant but younger
Louis looks like he's wearing American football shoulder pads under that t shirt! My goodness his body disproportionately wide to his limbs. But that strength is ridiculous.
The music is tooooooooo loud :( I can barely hear what you are saying...
Hi great tips what Sportiva shoe model are you using?
John Connolly skwarmas & love them
Hello! I am a new climber with the slight challenge that my left hand and forearm are very very weak (since birth, due to some developmental issues) and as a result I really struggle with my grip. What do you think I should focus on most for training to compensate for this (other than working on strengthening the weaker arm/hand)?
Technique & core.
@@NateMurphy thank you :)
Like that, but on a smaller scale...huh?
Just a quick one, what climbing centre is that???....
Harrow Wall!
Thanks,
wearing denim while climbing: 'Nice'
Anyone know which gym this is filmed at?
"Harrowall" in London Harrow
What shoes does Louis have on?
La Sportiva Maverink. Soft no edge Slippers, a little bit more narrow than Futuras, but way less aggressive. Just a really small amount asymetric, just little downturned (bana shape) and no downturn on the toes. The opening of the shoe is quite small, so to get your toes into the shoe you have to be precise ;)
I'm a streetshoe 44.5-45 and i ordered the biggest size they are comming, online. EU 42. And they are not too small. My La Sportiva Size is generally 42.5. On hard shoes, like the Miura VS or the Otaki, I have a left shoe of 42.5 and a right shoe of 43, since my feet are different in length. 42 left and 42.5 right would be the absolute minimum for me, but since I'm not that strong climber and only just climbing since 2.5 years, it is not necessary. Of course putting on the shoes is the last thing i do and the first thng i do after the climb. I have normal width feet i guess, or on the wider side of the La Sportiva range, a low instep (so i get into slippers easily), egyption toes with a fat big toe and a little, low volume heel. Basically, all La Sportiva Heels are too big, so i have to fit the shoes as tight as possible to be okay. Only heel I really fit is the Five Ten HiAngle (2016, grey/aqua, UK10/EU44.5) and the heel of the old Five Ten Dragon, UK 10.5/11. So tight and narrow that the pain is instantly there, so i save them for the most extreme short stuff. But HiAngles I would climb in nearly all the time, if the super sticky C4 rubber would last longer indoors. Therefore Anasazi VCS with OnyXX rubber for maximum durability. Btw, the 2018 Anasazi VCS comes with C4, not OnyXx any more! Yes, the brown one (golden tan). Seems the violet one got discontinued? Even though the new Anasazi pro comes witrh C4, also the Anasazi VCS comes with C4? No OnyXX rubber any more? what about the better edging and more support for longer stuff, f.e. alpine routes? Thats what the Anasazi VCS is for. Or indoor training on aggressive walls, to save your "new, expensive good shoes" for outdoors.
.
I have only climbed in my Maverinks once, for a few boulders indoors, so i can't say much about them right now. I think they are not as soft as I was afraid they would be, at least not in this sizing (I'm 1,80m tall and 84kg heavy).
.
The shoes come with 2 pens for customizing your shoes (as they are designed for children due to the marketing).
Right now, I let a local artist do something with them ;)
Harrowall!
The background music is too loud!
It was in the building.. so hard to remove :D
Try tu use specialized microphones. That have noise cancelation. Cheers!
I do rock climbing too it’s good i love it like alot alot lmao.
that is A LOT OF LOCK OFFS
actually climbing with jeans
Work on your sound quality
#4: weight.
Climbing in jeans, these are definitely pros 😅

The audio is trash
Louis looks like Hugh Laurie
Great vid and turn to Jesus only not man or Religion the HolySpirit will teach u all things !!
