Climbups and 180s and MUG!

Ahah, well I promised Naim I would make this little video... For a semi-tutorial, it really dosn't explain a thing and just makes me look like a grumpy idiot haha.

I know it was ages ago since this video was posted, but I'm having climb-up problems which contradict the advice given in this video. I can't do climb-ups properly because I'm always too far away from the wall when I pull & kick. If I'm out, then I kick, how can that make me come back in? Wouldn't I just be going more out, as if I was going to do a 180?

@JustElijah

Yeah the video is a poor explanation, perhaps an exaggeration, or maybe just plain way off the mark.

Just get strong at pullups and kick hard with one leg while with the other leg either: a) swing back and up; b) lift the knee hard.

Tiege, why do you claim we should keep our chests up over the wall? I would like you to expand on that.

[Teghead]

Who knows, this is nearly 3 years ago. And I don't rate climbups anymore.

Perhaps because if you don't get your chest above the wall, your weight will not be over the wall, let alone forwards ready for your legs to kick up..? It's all pretty simple, just go outside, do it, and think about where your weight was.

I've watched that video tons of times and i still cant figure out whats wrong... im pretty sure there is something wrong with my technique, i can pull up pretty easily but when i put my entire palm on the wall (to do the deep) i just seem to slide down :S

any advice?

[Teghead]

Uhhm, could you show me a video explaining what you mean, I can't visualise it?

[joshjarman]

i find with doing climbups it's all about how big your hair is.

AFRO CLIMB-UPS = fast.

BALDING CLIMB UPS = slow.

i have a feeling you'll get what i mean.

According to David Belle and many other traceurs, training barefoot is the best thing. It improves your technique so that you're not relying so much on your shoes as your own ability/skill.

[JustElijah]

@Teghead Ok cool, I'll try that. Cheerio.

[JeremeSanders]

@FriedStickMan maybe you aren't close enough to the wall then, you want to put your weight over your palms when you switch to them, unless you have super beast lats and can pull in from then.

i find the best way to not hurt urself doing this is by wearing shoes :p but very impressive
