Getting Stronger Quickly as a Beginner!

Bicep curls?? 😯

Funny he thinks I can do pull ups at the end of my climbing. I can barely hit one before my climbing!

What are those blue trousers your wearing dude?

The video is very good but too fast explanation. Please take a breathe.. thanks for the master class.😊

I get that climbing is the most effective way of learning climbing but what if you can only do it once a week?
Would love to climb more but for now its just impossible.

Bro, ONLY 3 DAYS A WEEK?!?! I can barely go 2/3 times A MONTH. Its close to 15€/20€ every time i go, and i can only climb for 3 hours at BEST

I just want to be able to nothing else I like to have the ability to do stuff

I'm lucky if i can go climbing once a month

👍

Hey @Lattice Training, this is useful, thanks for making it, but I don't feel like route reading is explained in an accessible enough way for actual beginners.

Hangboarding is not more safe than climbing, simply because is focus on one specific muscles and this easily overload them and all tissue around. While climbing you must work with most of your body, and adding psyche and technic is hard to overload specific parts of your body. This advice is bad because it simple push many to contusions, and in first months of climbing specialized trening is not needed, there are many more important stuff to learn.

The alpinist brought me here, I’m inspired. Great video btw!!

👍🏻

Moves for beginners?

This is hilarious.

Don't forget legs, chicken ! ;)

what a badass video man thank you for the info ! im in love with the sport and all i want to do is improve! thank you

Excellent video, just what I was looking for!!

a thing i love doing is playing addon with the group I climb with, and then treating our addon climbs as projects. everyone throws in all kinds of weird moves, its very fun

You need that Russian coach pushing more volume

Such a nice video! Straight to the point, no-nonsense, well presented. Thanks!

The route setters always seem like they are 7 foot 😆

😢

When during a session would you recommend hangboarding? Before, after, in the middle, or on an off day? Thanks

Great video, very helpful for me as a beginner. Something additional that really makes a difference for me: Eating consciously before and after my training.

Beforehand, I make sure I have eaten enough calories to be fit during the climbing session. I am not too picky with where they come from, as long as they keep me full of energy until the end of the session. Afterwards I prepare one healthy, protein-rich meal.

Afterwards, I almost always cook something. It almost always contains one protein rich ingredient (tofu, falafel, other soy-products, a yoghurt afterwards ...), one carbo-hydrate rich ingredient (rice, noodles, wraps, ...), and at least one vegetable (salad, peas, and beans are also great).

Good content

I always tell rookies to spend a lot of time on the Olympic Rings or TRX straps

Very cheap setup to have around the house or gym (<$100 used).

Great for building up the armpit and shoulder groups

Hey lattice team,
Could you make a video about climbing training cycles and progressive overload? I think this would also be interesting for a lot of people on your channel.

I began climbing a few months ago and really only did top rope climbing. But I wanted to mix it up and try bouldering as well. I was able to go as far as V2 when I hit a brick wall. I'm still relatively out of shape so some of the moves required a lot of power and put a ton of strain on my fingers. Now my middle 2 fingers on both hands permanently hurt and I can't even do pullups on a pullup bar without feeling pain in them. I don't really know what to do to fixt that or how to prevent it from happening again in the future... but it's limiting me so much now. I can't even grip some holds anymore because my fingers just hurt too much :(

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for your good advice. It has been a great help to me. Your channel is amazing. Cheers from Switzerland.

Awesome video very helpful I am beginner too

Hello, its been 3 years (covid downtime included) and my ability to train and recover is low. I need 72h of rest otherwise all sorts of niggles appear. Diet, sleep, fueling are all good. Is there a training protocol I should follow to be able to climb with 48h rest periods? I can flash about 50% of V5s in London gyms for reference.

Very nice video. Already watched some of your clips and this was exactly what I was looking for right now! Much appreciated.

Great video and finally, someone who agrees that finger boarding IS safe for beginners so long as you do it in a controlled, and progressive way. I see loads of people throw themselves dynamically onto small holds whilst climbing but then say they won’t do finger boarding because they’ve only been climbing a year or two so it’s too soon 😣

How often do you think you need to be down the gym to improve?
I usually get down there twice a week.

I'd definitely put squats in the off the wall strength training program. Bodyweight squats to begin with, working towards being able to pistol squat like Anna Hazelnutt.

wow altough i knew / do most of the stuff already. i like how d ense this video is. you really have to take a sheet of paper!

It's already one year climbing for me and the thing I was struggling the most is that strength training limited my climbing. Its tough for me to squize 3 climbing sessions plus 2 cardio such as bike, running or swimming during a week. What helped me the most was to strength training only after climbing focusing once a week on pull and push movements and once a week general whole body, core. With this approach my training sessions last around 3 hours. What benefits me the most is to rope climb once a week with experience friend focusing on volume. I totally agree with this video as trying different things I have very similar conclusions. One more thing I think it's worth doing is drills that include footwork on volumes and small holds as it really helps to transition into rock climbing.

I would also like to ask about exercises to include as a beginner climber that can help not getting injured. I had pain in my elbows and still struggle with wrists.

The latih logo looks like a rubiks cube

The ego on the hangboard is such a big take away. The number of people I've seen who have terrible form and just add the weight thinking its doing something. Trust the process not your ego

Mono dead hangs or nothing

1) Climb a Lot
2) Vary Climbing Styles
3) Climb with Others
4) Refine Movement
5) Use good tactics
6) Route Reading
Finger Training of Off the Wall Strength Training

I dont do any training (extra training). Cant fit it in into my busy schedule of working, running and other sports. I only climb. I climb 3 times a week in 3 different gyms in my town so body/head doesnt have time/space to get used to the problems. I climb all types of routes not only boulder but lead as well. I been climbing for 10 months and managed to get to 6C+ in my "first" year. Dont know if its good, but I dont advise anyone in their first year or so to hangboard. Just climb. Have fun and the power/technic will come. :)

Cranking out the content guys!

Only 3 days a week, lol

Just the video I needed

When is the intermediate video dropping guys? For those of us who have been climbing for a few years and want to take it to the next level! Thanks

Great content! :D

Seriously good advice, thanks for sharing!
Only thing I would add is: everyone's motivation for climbing is different. Not everyone wants to get betteer or stronger. It's perfectly fine for someone to simply enjoy climbing easy stuff and chill out with their mates for a couple of hours.
I was one of those, almost forcing my friends to do drills or workouts with me, even though they didn't really want to do it. Don't be me :)
