Questions in todays video:
1) On the points about mental health, is climbing not already exercise? So shouldn’t those benefits already be gained by climbing often?
2) I've been told that it's best for climbers to keep elbows close to the body when doing push-ups. When I do these, I hear a dull cracking/popping/cartilage sound in my right shoulder, closest to my neck. I don't have any shoulder injuries and there is no pain. Should I be concerned? Am I doing something wrong?
3) I run around 3 times a week on my lunchbreak, but not on climbing days. I climb in the afternoon/evening, around 1h climb + 1h resistance. Is it better for me to run at lunchtime on climb days than the day after? And do even more resistance or climbing the day after on my lunchbreak instead?
4) Can you suggest some exercises for finger training as all the gyms are closed here due to pandemic.
5) When should we chase a pump in climbing training/bouldering?
