@Syst3m04 kinda just states the obvious: This is a hold…hold it. Now move.

@0buru0 Dead hangs, while popular in the climbing community, are generally considered to be injurious to elbows and shoulders. These two give out information that seems either obvious, or just slightly wrong, such as their use of the campus ladder in another video. You can use equipment however you like, don’t get me wrong, but if you’re creating content to teach newcomers, teach them the proper way to use it, and let them decide if they want to just play around on it, instead.

@Syst3m04 Can I ask you why you’re saying that? I’m finding these videos quite interesting, am I missing something?

Not all of their videos are bad I use some of their grip advice and it works for me..but really rock climbers should do whatever is most comfortable for them, for example I dont like using my hands on a sloped grip so I put my arm over the top of it and use my own arm as a pull up bar, just small things like that are different in rock climbers.

Totally! I’ve only ever seen 1 video set that did any good and had someone who actually knew what they were talking about. The rest of these videos are just plain wrong, or contain useful tips but don’t actually teach you anything. They just show you how THEY do it.

First of all, as with an injury, always go to a physiotherapist for advice.
However, there are some basic things that are quite important and that have helped me lots
- RICE – Rest Ice Compression Elevation – for any injury for 48 hours after injury, and warmth thereafter.
Perhaps the most important being REST. You may have damaged a tendon and they take ages to heal.
But like I said, see a physio

Taping is used to cover gashes/blisters before or after they are created to reduce pain generally.
