Core Training for Climbing / Core Stability para Escalada

[Digdigs2]

No core there... & he isn't even going all the way with the push-ups.

[Drewbee2011]

weak-sauce core strengthening excercise? IMO... thats an understatement - don't really see that as a core excercise at all.

[ragingbill]

While I agree that this is not a core exercise, it's a chest and tris exercise, the core is still being worked isometrically. Also, the idea that climbers shouldn't train their chest and tris is flat out wrong. Ask anyone who knows anything about training for any sport: muscle imbalances can and often do lead to injury. If want to strengthen your back, you need to strengthen your chest with it. Push ups are a great exercise and pushing exercises should be incorporated into a climbers training.

@mistawu66 i use it for jacking off faster

[SaulGilsenan]

Look at me! I'm a prick!

[BootyBot]

@mistawu66 no this a chest workout and utilizes the triceps as a secondary muscle. Its also a workout that makes you more explosive and uses pushing muscles instead of pulling muscles. who the fuck cares if fighters use it for explosive punching? when do you ever punch when youre climbing???

and why the fuck would you want to do workout that works pushing muscles when 99.9% of the time you are PULLING when you are climbing?? you are the ultimate form of stupid.

[Digdigs2]

@BootyBot ...actually, while I agree that this is obviously a chest/tri exercise, there is a lot of point in doing some form of chest/tri you climb. Mantels require this - try bouldering at Font or Castle Hill without it. Locking down to reach a long way requires tri. Gastons that are a long way to the side require tri. Also just balancing out the body generally means one can avoid the climber hunch and avoid injury as the groups used frequently for climbing are better supported.

pliometric chest exersisa it dont work for climb!!!

[tbwilsonky]

to be fair, he could be.

[blinkvirus]

pullups and situps is what you need. do them as slowly as possible or even hold in the middle of a rep for as long as you can

[maevey08]

thats plyometric training, ur only supposed to do it if ya can bench you own body weight other wise ya need to work on strength training or u'll really injure urself....there i do listen in college. if ya wanna train core wat about normal push ups with feet on an uneven surface, wobble board or medicine ball?

[heda0206]

think its more a balancing workout for an underdeveloped triceps.. stupid for becoming better in climbing..

[tbwilsonky]

well he certainly isn't super strong. castle pushups are sorta hard for the unconditioned, but AGAIN these are weak-sauce exercises for developing core-strength for climbing. try front levers for instance.

[tbwilsonky]

this is a weak-sauce core training exercise. if you want to get strong in the middle don't waste your time with this.

[campusmang]

yeah look at how weak he is in this video

[sirchristopher2000]

@campusmang how does this video possibly show weakness???

[Antardrews]

@tbwilsonky what should i do then?



[lightyears00]

@tbwilsonky this is perfect for building core strength and chest muscles, people may also be more inclined to take your advice if you could spell...

[tbwilsonky]

@lightyears00 all i'm saying is these are not specific to climbing. it's okay general exercise, but there are far better ways to spend your time and calories. i'm not precisely clear on how i'm supposed to spell in order to 'woo' readers, but if people can't divine what i mean by 'sorta' then they are likely to have a hard time with following advice at all.

[lightyears00]

@tbwilsonky i didn't mean 'sorta'

the phrase "weak-sauce" he's not making a frigging vindaloo is he?!

[Tiki1597]

you are good in doing that but in climbing it wount help u...maybe while climbing rock chimneys. u have to be strength mainly in fingers, forearm, biceps and sometimes shoulders and then u use every muscle in ur body for saving strength for these muscles in ur hands. do you undestand me? if not write me

[philgar0]

While its true rock climbing requires a lot of arm strength, more importantly one can develop core strength and technique. This allows you to remain tensioned on the rock, instead of swinging wildly and relying on pure arm muscle, which will give out at some point no matter how much you work out. Core strength is vital also for balance, which is much more important than pure strength.

[Sn0wFreak]

dont forget the inner leg muscles
