    Hey, quick tip. Use a plate instead of a dumbell. Less horizontal sway and more balanced when you tie it thru the hole in the middle instead of securing a tie around a cylindrical object. This will affect your results because now all you have to worry about is fighting gravity instead of horizontal momentum and imbalance

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 лет назад +17

      You are right but I might need to get longer ropes in order for it to work with a plate!

      @driklol 5 лет назад +18

      I'd like to add to this and say spend the 15 bucks on Amazon and buy a loading pin. They have a carabiner hole at the top and are usually a standard diameter to fit most plates. You can most likely clip your block directly to the carabiner on the top and off you go

      I mean he did show a clip of him beasting a wide pinch move that he said he couldn't do last time he tried.. but I agree, it would be nice to hear more about real-world results.
      Quantified numbers are nice, but it's hard to tell how much 5-10 pounds of pinch strength impacts your climbing ability. That being said, he's a V7 climber, I don't think 1 month of pinch training is going to make him magically jump up to V8, so it's difficult to show real world improvements in the way that you probably want to see.

    • @matthewadkins9810
      @matthewadkins9810 5 лет назад +7

      If anything it would make him more efficient at climbing his current V7 proficiency, which would allow him to get closer to V8 sooner because he can train more effectively now.

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 лет назад +118

      Even though I did a few V7s before, those routes have zero pinches and really suit my style. There are some V4/5/6s that I couldn't finish because of my weak pinch strength, but now my completion rate of those are higher because of the pinch training.

  • @WyandWombat

    So after watching that video I started doing that stuff with a simple makeshift pinch block and weight plates. In the beginnin I could only do the 6 reps with 7.5kg on the right and 10 kg on the left hand. I didn't do it every day, but probably around 10-15 times since the release of your video. As of now I just did the 6 reps routine for three sets with 15kg on each hand and afterwards even completed one set with 17.5kg on each hand. Definitely worth the effort and can easily be done after a round of hangboarding and pull up training. Chalk makes a huge difference for me, as my selfmade block quickly greases up otherwise.

      I taped the weights Plates and I pinch directly on those. You have multiple sizes and it cost you almost nothing if you already have a pair of dumbbells. I don't know why all the people in video make one hand a time. I prefer to do it with both hands at the same time with one weight per hand, having a nice and symmetric posture is much easier this way.

    • @mkyubeo4867
      @mkyubeo4867 5 лет назад +1

Youre saving time, but its also efficient to get that abdominal workout in as well, it helps alot with climbing where youre never close to a symmetric posture on the wall!

      Just so you know I have standards for promoting products in my channel. I turned down a lot of easy money like promoting "skillshare", "squarespace" etc. This product is a pinch block that is going to make you stronger in climbing. What are you complaining about?

    What are all the dimensions of the block? I’m debating if it’s worth buying or not

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 лет назад

      It’s 12cm, 10.5cm, 9cm and 7.5cm, so regardless of your hand size, you will be able to find an optimal pinch to train on. Highly recommend you get one!

    • @josephponsoda
      @josephponsoda 5 лет назад

      I was actually talking about the widths because I have smaller hands and can’t grip everything...you also mentioned they they redesigned your block...what did they change? And if I buy on their site which version am I getting?

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 лет назад

      Yes those are the 4 kinds of width you can train on. If your hands are small, you can train on the 9cm pinch or the 7.5cm pinch. You will be buying the upgraded version. The main reason for the upgrade is Eric’s advice on training wide pinches.

    Hey geek climber I appreciate all your vids and particularly have used this one and a few others to help design my ideal training program but I had one question. How many times per week were you training your pinches for this video? It comes off as though you train them every day but that doesn’t seem ideal. I suck at pinches as well and am hoping to include this in my training 2 or 3 times per week. Do you have any advice?

      @@GeekClimber "if you have the time". I just bought a piece of square wood at a hardware store and used a saw to cut off a piece. I then use a belt loop to "attach" my weight plates to it and depending on orientation I have 3 different widths available on the block. Took about 5 minutes to build. But it seems mr. hoerst recommends just using a wide grip anyway.
