4 dots /V1 : Bump Bouldering
I like to discuss with Chat GPT my climbing progress. 😆
As much as I enjoy my sewing, I also like staying mobile physically.
Since we are in the V1 phase, it gave me a number of movement benchmarks to meet.
Whether it meets the mark and knows what it is talking about is debatable tho. 🤣
As much as I'd like to visit other gyms, if I can't conquer my home gym, visiting other gyms won't be of much service to me. (I like to frequent PBJ)
Movement benchmarks as recommended by Chat GPT:
Based on what you’ve described (V1 / 4-dot, compression difficulty, feet slipping, lower back tightness):
Skill Sets To Work On
1️⃣ Compression (Wall Hugging)
- Generate inward pressure with arms + feet simultaneously
- Keep chest and hips closer to wall
- Maintain tension while reaching
2️⃣ Foot Commitment
- Fully load footholds before moving hands
- Push through the big toe
- Trust the foot instead of pulling harder with arms
3️⃣ Core Tension
- Engage core before reaching
- Prevent lower back arching
- Maintain body line during dynamic movement
4️⃣ Single-Leg Stability
- Stand confidently on one foot
- Keep hips stacked over loaded leg
- Avoid collapsing into lower back
5️⃣ Hip Mobility + Engagement
- Open hips to stay close to wall
- Drive from glutes instead of lumbar spine
- Reduce compensatory lower back tension
6️⃣ Controlled Dynamic Movement
- Small push from legs, not jump from arms
- Commit weight fully before launch
- Controlled landing with active feet
