Are Indoor Rock Climbing gyms IST approved? What kinda physique will I have if I go rock climbing regularly instead of lifting weights? I'm 6'0" 160lbs, somewhere between ottermode and skinnyfat.
Rock Climbing thread I guess.
>climb shit indoors
>fall
>crippled for life
Many such cases
Sad.
Have you always been this much of a pussy or was at it some traumatic event that turned you into one?
you would't say that to my face gay, post body so I can mog you
You're scared of an activity that even little kids do without hurting themselves. The same principles as lifting apply. Use a little bit of common sense and the risk of injury goes to near zero
at the rock climbing gym i was at last, it felt like 35-40% of the climbers there were little kids.
go later on at night when it's mostly adults who got out of work so from 6 to 9 pm
You haven't seen the video of the chink falling off and literally snapping his whole foot off. You see a white nub of bone sticking out, and a dangling foot.
Doesn't happen if climbing statically. Also doesn't happen when rope climbing. Indoor rope climbing is much safer than indoor bouldering
>Doesn't happen if climbing statically
Kek you can hurt yourself doing anything, especially climbing 20 feet off the ground. I'm saying it's common though, but it happens and it's usually bad when it does.
You'll find videos of stupid people hurting themselves doing anything. Doesn't mean it's a common occurence
now please find me another video where the same thing happens. oh you can't? that's weird because i can show 5000 videos where dumb shits cripple themselves from deadlifts
Ya I hate deadlifts too dude, no need to get antisemitic about it.
i'm the guy who posted that first in the IST thread lel, it happened at the gym I go to
Bro, it's damn near impossible to hurt yourself like that bUg man did.
Most climbs have a auto tension thing that won't allow you to hit the ground hard enough to do any of that.
you're talking about an auto belay wall; this is on a bouldering wall where there are no ropes. IMO routesetters fucked up by putting a dyno at the very top of the comp route; high risk moves like that should probably be at the start of the climb, not at the top where things can go wrong.
falling from up there is no big deal with them bigass fall mats, provided you know how to fall
but how the fuck did this dude's foot fall off?! You guys are talking like he shoulda seen that coming all "oh yeah dude if you climb up over 3 yards them feet of yours are comin' right off" what
he had a shit ton of rotational force from jumping outwards from the wall and swinging briefly from the top hold. Ankle injuries are actually some of the most common injuries in a bouldering gym because of bad falls that involve rotation. I had a minor ankle sprain back in 2021 and it was from a fall in a cave feature in a gym; the height of the fall couldn't have been more than 5 feet onto the pads, but my right ankle made contact with the ground on the side in a really unpredictable way.
yeah ankle INJURY
not foot AMPUTATION
same shit just a different degree, also he's a fob gay chink and his bones are probably fucked up from heavy metals poisoning
>lift barbells in gym
>can't complete rep
>crippled for life
there are risks in everything you do, having acrophobia doesn't mean climbing can't be done safely
Whats the point of fitness if you can’t do a 4 ft jump onto foot-thick padding?
>What kinda physique will I have if I go rock climbing regularly instead of lifting weights?
Lanky DYEL.
if you're fat, you'll not be able to do much of it at all and you'll just be fat and stop going
if you're skinny, you'll get shredded forearms but you'll be like 90lbs soaking wet. which unironically works better at trying to get women anyway
it's fun, it's a nice way to meet people, and it will keep you moderately interesting when talking to strangers.
As for physique, it won't be anything special except for your calves and forearms. Don't quit the gym just yet.
i climb. i can climb after a full lifting session and running a 5k and only be slightly hampered. climbing really doesnt give you a good 'workout' in the sense that it will totally burn your muscles out. youll get basically the body you have but a slightly bigger back and good forearms. you should do other stuff if you want to climb and look good.
its fun
I is a very good workout, but you will have to do some additional strength training.
To avoid injury you need to train the muscles used less while climbing (antagonist training). The triceps, chest etc.
To improve beyond a certain level you also need to train vertical and horizontal pulling: inverted rows and pullups, preferably one arm pullups. You can progress to one arm pullups by holding onto a rubber band in the hand not used for the pullup for some extra help.
You also need to train finger strength. This means forearm muscles, tendons and pulleys (these take a loooong time to improve, several years in fact).
And then you also need core stength and flexibility.
If you do all this, you can get very fit as a climber. I bet most people on this board can't do a one arm pullup
climbing is fun and you can get to an enjoyable level without any climbing specific strength training. there is a lot of technique. but eventually you hit a celling that can only be broken with climbing specific strength.
Anyone who lifts should have at least 1 or 2 real physical hobbies and climbing is a good one. It's fun to do solo and with other people, and it's even fun to bring women there on dates
Quite fun. I started recently and go like once or twice per month.
I do a lot of pull ups so it translates well into climbing but still, shit is hard when you don't know the technique.
>What kinda physique will I have if I go rock climbing regularly instead of lifting weights?
Just lean I guess. At least that's the common physique I saw from the top guys.
bouldering is a fun workout and it's also a way to train how to get over your fears, some boulders you can only top after visualizing a lot and controling the voice in your head screaming that you'll fall off and die
Climbing regularly will build your upper body, arms and shoulders but you will still need to strengthen your legs since you use them a lot in climbing, but not in a way that builds muscle. I go to a bouldering focused gym which means it’s more focused on shorter stronger climbs and dynamic movements, when you do more rope climbing it’s more based on endurance
>What kinda physique will I have if I go rock climbing regularly instead of lifting weights?
I love auto-belays and belaying with a partner so much it’s insane. Bouldering is pretty cash too but I like doing mini speedruns up an auto-belay wall and lifting myself up through sheer strength
FINGER STRENGTH
SEX
That is all.
>when you break your boyfriends dick because you gripmaxxxxxxed
I might start going to a rock climbing gym near me
Heard it is a good place to meet fit young ladies with strong grips
Is this true?
Bouldering gyms are good places to meet women. Rope climbing not so much because you have to go with friends. But you need to actually be semi decent at it or you will just be seen as cringe.
i met a fit young woman at a bouldering gym. we have had sex now a dozen times
nice
yes and I heard that if you ask nicely they'll squeeze your penis super hard for you
>What kinda physique will I have if I go rock climbing regularly instead of lifting weights?
Lean with decent arms and wide lats most likely
>decent arms
i see you've never been to a rock climbing gym
Imagine if all you did was pullups/muscle ups That's your physique. Climbing can be part of a balanced breakfast, but it shouldn't be all you eat. Throw in a couple pushup variations, ab exercises, and cardio (running, jump roping, cycling) and you will have a good physique and be very coordinated.
>use CoC hand exercisers and other meme equipment for forearms
>none of it does fucking anything
>start rock climbing/belayed climbing
>suddenly I never need straps for burnout deadlifts anymore
>veiny forearms as a plus
I mean i'm 200lbs but climbing once or twice a week is fucking based. That and it's actually fun, too.
I just deadlifted for the first time in years two weeks ago and was shocked at how much better my grip during the lift got just from climbing. Years ago when I was more of a noob, I would have had to switch to mixed grip at 1.5pl8 just to do working sets of 2.5pl8, but this time, I was able to build up to 3pl8 easily and do it with a normal double overhand grip. I still suck ass at CoC grippers so I really don't know where this extra grip strength is coming from.
Are you too much of a pussy to climb real rocks outside?
Sad
I came to this thread just to see if this was posted. I was no disappointed.
fucking HOW
Snibbidy snabbity here comes gravity
haha thats the first thing that came to mind seeing this thread
>i wonder if someone posted SNAP CITY SHANGHAI(more like hangfly AMIRITE GUIZE TROLOLOL)
Why would you lead with the right hand and not the left?
Fuckin gumby
And crippling tendinitis eventually
Unironically, the hardest workout I've ever done was at a climbing gym.
That will get your cardio going REAL fast.
But the physique isn't that great on its own. Don't quit the gym.
Climbing Gyms are full of decent looking women as a bonus FYI
I took this cute asian girl to the rock gym on sunday. We had a great date and she was all over me. Now I've been reading this PDF about how to give women powerful orgasms and it says you have to be extremely dominant. I took her home and to the bedroom and bent her over my knee and spanked her so hard I think i broke veins in her ass meat. Then i fucked the shit out of her and pulled her hair and stuck my finger in her ass and spat in her mouth and made her swallow it. At one point she had both my balls in her mouth and im holding her hair and my hand actually cramps shut from the rock climbing (id also only eaten two 100 calorie protein yogurts all day, cutting for summer) and i couldnt let go of her hair and she started freaking out and screaming until i could use my other hand to pry my fingers open. Eventually i nutted everywhere all over myself and her and the bed and she goes to the bathroom and cries for a while and says its not gonna work out so i call her an uber. I really liked that girl so im sad and now i have forearm DOMs
