I really liked this video, apart from Tom not telling other Tom that he could actually change his starting positions if they were too uncomfortable already. Like at 13:05 , he could not bring his chest up at all, so the easiest thing to do would have been to narrow his stance a bit and make it easier on himself, and then work his way to a wider stance over time. Which doesn't mean that you can't start like that and then work from there, but flexibility training is really something that needs to happen regularly and being really uncomfortable from the beginning might actually kill the desire to put the work in. Apart from that, top notch :).
This video is, weirdly, hard to find and doesn't show normally on videos lists :O It would be great to have the flexibility exercise routines in the Crimp'd app :)
Great video, thanks a lot for the exercises! About the forearm flexor: does the idea of max strength vs. building muscle approaches apply to this exercise as well or might a max strength approach be too risky due to the stress on the tendons, especially in the far most stretched position of the fingers? Also how much rest between the sets should be done for forearm flexor and forearm extensor exercise?
0:07 No doubt we can all use more fexibility. So get out there and fex! Why wait until tomorrow when you can fex today. Now I'm just beating a dead horse. Btw.. learned some new stretches so genuinely. thank you... and I have a new favorite word! Get fexy baby!
Yo Tom question for you or for a future q&a, kinda specific: While training pull-up, or any other fairly big muscle, is there a difference in mass of muscle and quality of muscle develloped by choosing training max weighted pull-up over just a big number of sets at body weight, if so, as climber, shouldn't we always target leaner, thinner muscle mass at equivalent strenght if there is such a thing ? Maybe it's a really dumb question i don't really know of muscle growth works
No great question. You’re spot on. Train for max strength not size. I am quite skinny but can do a weighted pull-up with body weight and multiple one armers. I did it through max weight training, and I didn’t gain much muscle. Ultimately it’s mostly dependent on diet and genetics but yea max pulls over high volume
Thank you guys for this video. Big fan of both you Bobats and the Wide Boyz. I really like what Lattice Training is doing by taking a systematic numerical approach to climbing training. Question for Tom Randall: In this video you stated that for "muscle building" rows should be done within the 8-12/14 rep and 2-4 set ranges and for "max strength" rows should be done within the 3-5 rep and set ranges. It was my understanding that "muscle building" and "max strength" having different ideal rep and set ranges are fitness myths. I am wondering where this information is coming from. Is there a study you can cite? Additionally, I think it should be mentioned that for people looking to optimize the growth of their muscles in order to maximize their potential strength, weekly volume, appropriate workout intensity, and rest/recovery need to be accounted for, not just "sets done per workout."
Normally recommended to stretch separate to any activity but stretching can lead to a drop of 10% in power. You decide when best to stretch but it's not recommended at the start.
It seems to be quite well known that hip flexibility is important for improving your climbing. Does the data have anything to say about flexibility in other areas, for example hamstrings?
Hey ya I have a question! I’m only able to get to a climbing gym once a week and I’m wondering what kinds of exercises are best for cross-training the other days? I do hot power yoga (good for push muscles and body tension) and a couple gym days with front squats/deadlifts or pull ups/rows. Any other top exercises to implement/ tips?? Thanks 🙌

A good one i found for me was like the one with Tom in the sumo squat position, but you have one leg out straight, like in a rockover position, and basically rock the foot back and forth between flexed and pointed. When it gets a bit easier, same thing, but while rocking the foot back and forth, try to reach past your foot that's moving. Another one is get to the sumo squat position, and with your elbows pushing your knees outwards, grab your ankles, and basically twist diagonally side to side. Faster but more painful way, is find a flat solid surface (i.e a wall) and do your straddle, with heels against the wall, and after a 30s period each time, slowly push your hips closer to the wall, hold for 30s, push forward again etc. Sorry for the long answer, but hard to explain rather than show1But hopefully this is in any way helpful to you :)
Tom: how would you deal with heavy legs? I am unusually heavy for a climber even my size, but it's all muscle in the legs (that's what I tell myself, I think it's partially true). What can I work on so that it's not too much of a disadvantage. I'm thinking core strength obviously but looking for more specifics.
Augustin Moinat If you want to lose muscle mass from your legs just stop working out for building your legs but maybe do cardio stuff only. Your body will start getting grid of them once you stop using them.
I get thumb pain doing forearm extensor curls, it runs from my thumbs down to my wrists and will last for a few days after. Any ideas on how to stop this?
This isn't advice so much as just my experience so far. I often make sure to massage deeply all of the tendons around the elbow and upper forearm (especially where there's inflammation around the nerve bundles with tenderness) and regularly take a double rest day once or twice a fortnight (aka at least 3 nights sleep between climbing sessions). So far, despite always going pretty tough in my sessions my tendons haven't prevented me stopping climbing altogether. Only about 2 to 3 times in several months have I taken a longer 3-4 day break. Best of luck, but maybe see a physio if it's becoming problematic.
STOP. Dont go to the comments. Go back to the video. BE WARNED. YOU CANT UNHEAR AFTER
Yep, thats true.
ye
ye
I should have followed your advice.
I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO YOUUUU
Had to count.
213 "Yeah" :)
Doing gods work 💪
No One:
Tom: Ya. Yup. Mmm. Ya. Ya
I think Tom repped about 200 “yep”s in this video 😂
I had to come to the comments to see if i was the only one who noticed that, lol
Having watched the video I believe it was Tom's safe word for when he felt uncomfortable...
It has to be more... That was incredible
Seriously, that's all you got from the video guys? Me too!
@@Duckers_ like stop looking into my eyes ;P
1:20 Deceptacon climbing shoes confirmed
how the fuck
take a shot every "yep" to die of alcohol poisoning
1:21 did that shoe just moved by it self?
dude holy shit
Whaaaaaaaaaat....
Whaaaaaat
Came here to make this exact comment
This video sponsored by "Yeah".
When you're used to talking in your videos but you have an expert guesting, use "Yeah"!
My new flexibility workout routine:
Drink whenever Tom says "Yea"
Fantastic collection of things I'm too lazy to do.
is that saying yup?
@@keff_cb ya
ye... ye... ye... ye... Love you Tom. 😄
Super useful video, thanks a lot!
So many videos in a week! Love it guys 🤩😍🤩
Also go Tom! I was cheering you on for the right angle knees changeover 🤣

Everytime Tom says yes.. take a drink! What a game😂
Loved seeing the hip flexibility stuff! Thanks guys
wtf is going on with those shoes @ 1:21 ??? Defies logic
It is incredible, how the climbing and its training has improving the last years. Good video🤗🤗🤗
Ya. Ya. Yip. Ya. Yup. Yup. Ya. Ya. Ya. Ya. OK. Yup. Ya. Ya. Yup. Yup. Yep. Yep. Yip. Yip. Ya. OK.

No, but great vid guys.

Btw.. learned some new stretches so genuinely. thank you... and I have a new favorite word! Get fexy baby!
I hope lattice are working with the AWRC in Sheffield, so much potential for collaboration there!

Can someone explain what's the hell happened to that climbing shoe at 1:20???
How often would you recommend doing a stretching session. Per week? And is it better to do after a climbing session when warm?
Normally recommended to stretch separate to any activity but stretching can lead to a drop of 10% in power. You decide when best to stretch but it's not recommended at the start.
I think Tom should have shown Tom Randall his 100 mile an hour bicep curl work out? I think he would have been quite impressed! :D
"You could call it the art of climbing without climbing"
"The art of climbing without climbing? Show me some of it"
yep.
Ok good to see I'm not the only one😂🤣 all seriousness though great video guys🤙

When stretching with both legs out. My arent very far apart, they form an acute angle, what are some stretches to increase that flexibility?
A good one i found for me was like the one with Tom in the sumo squat position, but you have one leg out straight, like in a rockover position, and basically rock the foot back and forth between flexed and pointed. When it gets a bit easier, same thing, but while rocking the foot back and forth, try to reach past your foot that's moving.

@@CanKayaaslan Can't really, I don't do any leg workout :) only other sports but I don't want to stop those either
I feel very validated that Tom Randall recommended basically my exact stretching routine, hahaha. #getflexygetsexy
Lol at least Tom's pet word is yep and not something more ridiculous 😂😂😂
Yeh.
I get thumb pain doing forearm extensor curls, it runs from my thumbs down to my wrists and will last for a few days after. Any ideas on how to stop this?
I use weigthtlifting straps for the exact same reason. Takes the weight of your thumbs
15:00 my brain hurts.
Me everytime I do this exercise. ^^
Yea
drnk eevrytme tom sais yep
I love you, Tom
I liked the part where tom said yes
Any way to remedy a golfers elbow without taking a break from climbing?
Not at the beginning stages of recovery no.
This isn't advice so much as just my experience so far. I often make sure to massage deeply all of the tendons around the elbow and upper forearm (especially where there's inflammation around the nerve bundles with tenderness) and regularly take a double rest day once or twice a fortnight (aka at least 3 nights sleep between climbing sessions).
