  • Have you ever wondered how to train on a hangboard? Have you ever wondered how much better you will be at climbing if you train on a hangboard? Make sure to watch the video to find out. Prior to filming this video, I had zero experience in training on the hangboard. This video documents how I figured out the training and the amazing progress I made in just 30 days of training.

      See above comments, but he's right. You aren't dividing by zero, you are dividing by a number approaching zero. As a result of calculating the percentages as limits approaching constants, the improvement would be infinite.

    Really awesome progress dude! I hope you get that V6 soon. As far as people mentioning more progress in less time climbing, I think it depends on why you climb and what you do in the gym. Lots of people are super competitive and live for getting better and others use it as a zen experience. Progress happens with both. I go through phases of each one, but I tend to go with the flow. All that matters is that you love it enough to keep at it. Also, the grades are kind of a trap to get stuck in. I’ve done v6 in the new gym by me but get shut down on v3s at the one I used to go to. Everybody sets routes differently so you’ll never truly know. Keep crushing man

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  6 лет назад +2

      I am actually closer to finishing a V6. There is a V6 route in my gym that I am 2 moves away from. I definitely enjoy climbing a lot as you can see I have been still climbing throughout these years despite little improvement.

    This video inspired me to get a hangboard despite being a pretty novice climber (~ 1 year climbing) and its definitely helped my climbing! Ive found holding my legs out in front rather than down/slightly back gives me more traction when hanging on the narrowest holds.

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 лет назад

      That's great! You are right, I made the mistake of having my legs at the back for the first few days, but also discovered that it's better to have them in front afterwards.

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 лет назад +22

      If you climb for 10 years, I am sure you will climb better than me. On the other hand, the fact I've been climbing for 10 years and I am still average actually shows how much I love the sport!

    • @MrBrennanMatt
      @MrBrennanMatt 5 лет назад +2

      Geek Climber idk if English is your first language. But that second sentence doesn’t mean what you think. Saying you’re average after 10 years would imply you don’t love the sport. Not that you love it

    • @colinhendry6116

  • @kennethholvoet1178
    @kennethholvoet1178 5 лет назад +4

    I would definitely recommend you to look into a pulley system. Subtracting weight will get you started on the lower rung much faster and will even allow you to isolate fingers and hang off two fingers for example. On the other hand adding weight with a harness will make your training more efficient on the bigger rungs, not having to hang for 35 seconds. So using added/counterweights you should aim for a hang time of about 7-10 seconds every time, closer mimicking actual climbing strength needs. And a big bonus is it allows you to keep track of your progress in much more detail, so it will keep you motivated. Good luck and hang in there...

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  5 лет назад +1

    It’s not just your hand... no muscle(s) works alone... ever. Your core is engaged and your shoulders needs engagement and your mid trapezius
    Had to add this. Pulling is not the same as pushing you need both resistance in the spectrum. Muscles can only pull when they contract. Insertion towards origin. When you use your latissimus dorsi and flexors and deltoids depending of which one the opposite muscle tries to control it. Also important lesson is to stabilize and mobilize the spine all the tiny muscles that helps move the bigger ones or starts it
