I have never rock-climbed, only briefly messed about enough to know it's not happening despite my pull-ups peaking with +50kg added weight.
The "not happening" was that my weight distribution feels like it was ripping me off the wall. I just can't get much percentage of my bodyweight supported by my toes because my big back, ass and quads are going in another direction. Turns into an upper body exercise and one-arm pull-ups on a sheer face aren't happening.
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoIf you feel like your weight distribution is ripping you off the wall the problem is learning how to manage your own weight distribution skillfully. Your big ass and back is a benefit here; these will maintain your core tension necessary to keep position. You were probably ass out instead of hips against the wall, which unbalanced you.
