The least confusing thing to call it for my brain is the strong af wrist.In common conversation though, calling it neutral would be less confusing

Right. Like everything, it's going to vary by person. The pullup position makes a lot of sense. In a pullup, you're going to naturally have your wrist in the strongest position which will be neutral to light flex. Certainly not extension unless you're a savageThe least confusing thing to call it for my brain is the strong af wrist.
Haha I can do full arm extension one-arm pullups so I might be something of a savage in this particular regard. I can totally do pull-ups with tons of extension, but its not stronger by any means.Right. Like everything, it's going to vary by person. The pullup position makes a lot of sense.

let's see a 1 arm muscle upHaha I can do full arm extension one-arm pullups so I might be something of a savage in this particular regard. I can totally do pull-ups with tons of extension, but its not stronger by any means.
Lol Im terrified to go look to see if this is possible. Well, if you can be fully dynamic it actually might be, but I've always trained far more for static strength in this regard.let's see a 1 arm muscle up
I bouldered hard from 2015 to 2023. Wish I could keep doing it but couldn't do that plus DG or plus pickleball, was too much, not enough rest.Lol Im terrified to go look to see if this is possible.

I used to be an extremely hardcore boulderer, I still try to maintain some semblance of my younger self but its no where close anymore.
At first, I read this as taping your wrist in a particular orientation and see if your wrist breaks. Long day so farWe can solve some of this hyper circular wrist discussion with masking tape.
Tape the wrist flexed, tape the wrist extended. Throw. See if it breaks. Get funky and tape it neutral and see if the tape breaks.
Put some tape on your elbow at what you would consider full extension and then throw and see if it breaks.
So, maybe a person mummified in masking tape head to toe can tell us all of the arcane secrets of the swing...We can solve some of this hyper circular wrist discussion with masking tape.

Outdoors I have sent many v11s, and tons of v10s. Indoors I could climb most anything that my climbing dungeon set in a sane way that was possible, grades indoors are meaningless though imo.I bouldered hard from 2015 to 2023.

I always wanted to train for a 1 arm pullup but I never got around to it because I was always too close to injury from just limit bouldering lol. What grade did you get up to? I'm assuming pretty high since you got to a 1 arm strength.
Haha, well, this thread is basically just a corner to hang out at now so...mehClimbing nerds lol.
I'm sure most disc golfers would benefit from being able to climb.Haha, well, this thread is basically just a corner to hang out at now so...meh
But, I honestly think I benefit from it in disc golf.
Your visual stick game was nice. I think that in the real world for disc golf it does confuse people to ask whether the "stop" is "active" or "passive," in which case some time with your thought experiment is well-spent (IMHO).
Haha, I think they would benefit from being a bit more flexible, and I do think grip strength is a full blown benefit.I'm sure most disc golfers would benefit from being able to climb.
Haha, yeah same about the obsession part. DG is easier on the body overall it seems and one of my first thoughts was, great, maybe I found an athletic hobby I can do for the rest of my life! Outdoor v11 is pretty sick, nice job.Outdoors I have sent many v11s, and tons of v10s.

I had to stop largely because I was tired of finger injuries. Popping pulleys is no fun and takes ages to recover from, and my hobbies require...obsession lol. Taking time off just sucks too bad.
I hear ya, I got hurt early on too. Climbing is super addicting to the right mind, and if you go into it somewhat athletic/strong, its very easy to go too hard too fast. And honestly that never changes if you are obsessive, its always flirting with injury it felt like.Haha, yeah same about the obsession part.

My gym grades were like 1 to 2 softer than outdoor stuff but I got to V8 indoors just before 1 year and with the prior 5 months having to climbing light to recover from tendonitis in both arms from obsessively climbing for the first 5 months straight, lol. Outdoors I shoulda had my first V7 within my first year but only did like 3 outdoor trips and then after getting a few 7s outdoors I kinda became a gym rat and got up to v9 at a gym with respectable grades.
So I came into DG with that same obsession and focus on improving quickly to make up for lost time, hah. Thankfully I got nothing worse than strains in the fingers and knees.
Do you also roll your eyes a bit when you hear people complain about the power grip not being comfortable? Haha, I think to myself, man, don't ever try rock climbing. So many routes outdoors are literally stained with finger blood, lol.
