Lower Body Workouts: Climbing relies heavily on upper body strength, but lower body training is crucial. Lower body strength develops less through climbing alone, making additional training essential. Here are 2 effective workouts to climb harder and prevent injures.
While watching a video about pro rock climber Amity Warme, I noticed a note pinned up in her van—right next to her “tick list” (a list of routes she wants to send): "Do my choices support my goals?" Folks, it really is that simple: 1. Define the life you want 2. Do things…
Janja Garnbret made the FFA of Bügeleisen Sit (V15/8C) but she was unhappy with the footage... so she went ahead and climbed it again for better video. 💪
If you want to climb a grade harder, these are the most important things to prioritize (in order) 1. Maximize on the wall climbing time. 2. Train on a hangboard. 3. Do core exercises. 4. Perform weighted pull-ups.
Is it just me or does it seem like more and more climbers are returning to Twitter?
Common misconception. Gluconeogensis is demand driven, not supply driven.
When you eat excess protein, a lot is converted back into glucose via gluconeogenesis, an energetically costly and inefficient process. You can avoid this by eating some carbs with your protein. This is really non-controversial, but gymbros have mindworms about this topic.
To climb to a new level, you likely need to try something new.
This video makes The Smile seem way less terrifying than I recall from when it was established. Not sure if it's the camera angle or his confidence. Either way, very impressive! youtube.com/watch?v=fdFgJ5…
This stuff is great. Very flavorful, so you don't need to use a ton.
This was a predictable outcome.

This guy has better footwork than I do
A little duck caught on camera showing off its rock-climbing skills! #FunnyMoment
The easiest way to judge fitness influencers is how they respond to learning opportunities. Real ones embrace it; fake people get offended. He blocked me to avoid learning the difference between bouldering and third-class scrambling in trainers. Hell, he's in Colorado... I…
Best thing about midnight sun is being able to be out running or climbing all night out with the most amazing light. But if you have kids that means that the sleep will be shoort!
He asked me to elaborate and then blocked me... real tough guy and not a poser at all.
This is wildly impressive in 90 degree heat
Kraftwerk V4/V5 A gross little slab problem located over at St Elmo’s boulders 5 minutes from the heart of Chattanooga. Finally completed a year after first touching it, in 90+ degree heat. Surely to God I’m getting better 🫠😏😎
If you have lower back problems, weak and tight lower ab muscles—especially the psoas—are almost certainly a major factor. Stretching isn’t the answer. This is the best exercise I’ve found. I’ve worked up to 40 lbs and it’s made a huge difference.
