Loved your video! Let’s collaborate and make you a training/climbing plan when I am back in the states! Would be a great video for people of all abilities!
I loved the video. It was very informative and scientific! I've been trying to get better in the gym and have been trying to use the hangboard for the past two weeks but after seeing your video I have a better idea of what I need to do to improve. I went to the gym today (I go every day) and worked on the hangboard. Thanks so much for the informative videos!
Haha, the instructor.. "nothing worse than stiff fingers". Had a mental image of him on a rock face, slips and while falling to his death shouts "could be worse! Could have stiff fingeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrssssssssssss"
Your videos are really inspirational. I love that you show progression right from the start, since it shows how all of this is achievable to an average guy. This makes me want to get my own hangboard
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.
I really enjoyed the challenge and storyline of this video. Great work! It's fun to see small improvements and climbing is so much more enjoyable when you are in shape. Been many years for me but this video may just get me back in it.
When I was training to become a professional peeping Tom I trained on a hang board religiously to mimic the stress of a 6th floor bathroom window ledge.... One handed ✋... I'm taking a break from it at the moment due to reasons I'm not allowed to talk about until after my court date and sentencing... Excellent video by the way. 😁
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!
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
Brennan not exactly... his second sentence is stating that his passion for the sport is what brings him back after all this time. I don’t believe, specifically in this case, skill correlates with love for the hobby.
Magare Govedo I'd say the same of you with that state of mind I'm 29 and technically I've been climbing for more than 20 years and yet I'm still very average, but I still climb because it is fun and I like fun the outdoors and having fun with friends in the gym
No I believe your wrong I think he means he's average in the sense he's stayed at grades he's comfortable in rather than push himself harder.. similar to me I find v3s pretty easy v4s I struggle with some but generally stayed around thst level tho my gym is grading a lot harder these days
I love the quality of your videos! Having these longer-term challenges means you’re always working on several things at once, yet every individual project is completely up to par, informative, and useful! Excellent content, man!
Random video in my feed but he was so cute and wholesome! I loved how you could feel his excitement and his content with his improvement :) made my day
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...
Thanks for the suggestion. I saw people train with a pulley system in the gym before, and I can see the benefit of training with it. Not sure how feasible it is to install one at home though.
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
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.
Absolutely enjoyed watching these amazing people from bed eating crisps. I’m lounging this weekend afternoon! (I’ve been gardening all morning. I’ve been amazing already. Now I get to watch others.) Great video. Absolutely applaud the athletic strength & passion.👍🏾
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.
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.
Now I am hangboard training off camera now with rest days. I can't wait to see more gains. I kinda forgot how good the feelings are when I can climb harder.
Awesome job man! You've never been doing something too long to improve! I really like that you put your improvement into perspective with percentages. It was great to hear your enthusiasm.
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
Geek climber your videos are awesome, i really like what you do. I am a brasilian climber of 18 years old, i climb since my 6 years, but i learned alot watching your channel.
Excellent video. This is how one improves at anything: you learn and you adapt what you learn to your particular circumstance like you did with the hanging program.
Beware of hang-boarding as a real beginner. If you never did any though exercises with your finger you should approach the hang-boarding with caution. It takes time for tendons and bones to strengthen, more time than is needed to built up muscles.
Dude your a legend, ten years and you only just now started to really try and get past your limits? You should be more confident in your body you are awesome!
Sevelar questios: - Did yoou hang for 30 days straight? I mean, because profesional climbers won't hang more thant 2 or 3 days/week - How many days of those did you climb? - Any pains at the end of the month? Tx.
NEVER hangboard using crimp grips, like you're doing at 4:06 and 4:10. Always use an open handed grip, like at 1:58. Crimping comes with a much higher risk of finger injury in the short term, and possibly a risk of early-onset arthritis in the long term.
Thank you for making this video, giving us the discount, and providing us with the DIY how-to video. I followed your instructions and put together my very own portable hang-board and started my own 30 day routine. If you have any other hang-board training advice that you didn't put into the video, I would love to hear it. I'll respond back to this post after my 30 days to tell everyone about my progress.
You’re most welcome! I am very interested to know how the 30-day challenge will go for you. Definitely let me know. Because of time limit, I didn’t include all the advice Peter gave me. In the video. For example, hang with the half crimp/open hand but never the full crimp. Regarding the reasons for hanging 7-10 secs with 2 sets etc, I’ll put theses extras in my face book page facebook.com/geekclimb/. Feel free to stop by!
Finished my first 30 days of hangboard training. I did the routine shown in the video with the same setup, but I only trained every 3rd day. My hang times when from 18-->23secs (+27%), 9-->16secs (+78%), and 1-->6secs (+500%). I'm happy with my improvement and I plan on starting my next 30 days soon. Thanks for everything.
Great video. So I guess the point is that if we want to make significant improvement and reduce the period of time it takes to develop that improvement we should seek help from experts?
That was the best peice of advice ever: "What if i feel weak." "Go do some cardio, get your heart rate up." It might seem obvious, but it's something most people don't think about.
So I know this video is a little old but maybe you still look at comments. I'm a little unclear-- did you do hangboard training every single day of a month, with no rest days? I've always been told that that's how you get injuries, and that you should only hangboard once a week. Could you clarify? If it helps, I've been climbing for 3-4 years at V5/V6. Love your videos!!!
I hangboard trained every day during this period. It's not optimal but since it was my first time venturing into training, I need to build up a habit to stick to it, hence I trained everyday for 30 straight days. Nowadays I incorporate rest days for optimal training. Hope this helps!
For somebody who calls themselves a geek, I'd expect them to know that dividing by 0 != infinity, joke or not :P Regardless, good video, congratulations on the progress!
Formally there's no dividing by 0. However, if you apply lim when dividing a positive real number by den->0 then the result goes up indefinitely with no cap, which can be called infinity.
Great video. Great tips. Third video I watch, you’ve got a new sub ! Keep up the good work ! Maybe after all those years you’ve mentally locked yourself in v4-v5 ? I’ve been climbing for a year now, and locked myself in v3s after 6 months.. not long ago someone convinced me to try a v4 and since then I’ve been tackling some of them.. don’t set limits to yourself !!
Glad you like the video! I've been trying pretty hard recently to get to the next grade. Got close to a few of them before my gym took them down. Hopefully I will be able to do it soon.

Haha that's the sound of hanging with max effort.
2:02 Peter sounds so reasonable and he explains stuff so well I could listen to him for hours lol
Totally agree with you. Peter is really great at explaining things.
So glad i watched this video ! I learned so much in such a short time ! Thank youuuu !!

I lost it when the dude just dislocates his shoulders to ''stretch"
Shoulder dislocations are great for shoulder health as warmup to any upper body exercise (pressing or pulling), or as a pre-hab exercise on its own !
It's just a name for the exercise. You don't actually dislocate anything.
A great person is behind this channel! Thank you so much :)
You are most welcome. Best of luck.
With this routine, my gaming career will skyrocket!
A good idea is also to attempt pull ups on a door frame! It’s definitely helping. :)
And well done on your progress great results!

You make really good videos. Thanks for that, i subscribe. Greetings from Germany
“Which technically is an infinite improvement” made me lol
Haha it technically is!
Awesome video, I’m going to follow your advice.
Thanks
Let me know how it goes! I am curious to know.
So entertaining :) Thank you for this video!
That was the best peice of advice ever:
"What if i feel weak."
"Go do some cardio, get your heart rate up."
It might seem obvious, but it's something most people don't think about.
quality content for a small channel fuken nice m8 :D
It took me more than a year to get there dude. Not easy at all. Appreciate it tho.
i understand m8 :) (well not that much i got almost 1k wiews and 19 subs soo..)
Terrible advice though.
INFINITE PORCENT OF IMPROOVMENT
that sounds infinitely better than what really is, literally
So I know this video is a little old but maybe you still look at comments. I'm a little unclear-- did you do hangboard training every single day of a month, with no rest days? I've always been told that that's how you get injuries, and that you should only hangboard once a week. Could you clarify? If it helps, I've been climbing for 3-4 years at V5/V6. Love your videos!!!
I hangboard trained every day during this period. It's not optimal but since it was my first time venturing into training, I need to build up a habit to stick to it, hence I trained everyday for 30 straight days. Nowadays I incorporate rest days for optimal training. Hope this helps!
For somebody who calls themselves a geek, I'd expect them to know that dividing by 0 != infinity, joke or not :P
Regardless, good video, congratulations on the progress!
Formally there's no dividing by 0. However, if you apply lim when dividing a positive real number by den->0 then the result goes up indefinitely with no cap, which can be called infinity.
Literally watched 40sec and subbed good job dude.
Glad you like it man! More videos like this to come in the future!
you can actually see an increase in forearm definition
I see myself every day so I didn’t notice it, but I was surprised when I reviewed the footage.
Great video. Great tips. Third video I watch, you’ve got a new sub ! Keep up the good work !
Maybe after all those years you’ve mentally locked yourself in v4-v5 ? I’ve been climbing for a year now, and locked myself in v3s after 6 months.. not long ago someone convinced me to try a v4 and since then I’ve been tackling some of them.. don’t set limits to yourself !!
Glad you like the video! I've been trying pretty hard recently to get to the next grade. Got close to a few of them before my gym took them down. Hopefully I will be able to do it soon.
Haha this was great! I really want to get more serious about climbing. Congrats on the colab!
Glad you like it! Let’s start training and climb better!
Likable dude. Got my like after the "infinite improvement" loool
Haha it technically is XD.
Well thats dedication
The first two weeks were definitely the hardest. Once I got through that phase, I feel weird if I don’t hang, haha.
3+ million views!! Congrats! Solid video.
Glad you like the video! It has certainly been a wild ride!
1:17 “5sets and 3 rounds “ u mean 5 reps and 3sets
You could be right, depending on what kind of terminology is used here.
