Powerlifing. . Do you do it.?

 

[Goosey]

[MENTION=10878]jj80[/MENTION]; you need to relax, just enjoy the ride.

 

[Darkoz]

....that's what he said

 

[0ni]

rock climbing is nothing like deadlifting
you don't even need to be that strong to rock climb really, most people are strong enough on this forum

different type of strength

 

[White_Lie]

It's a different strength but I think they were more implying that you should have excellent grip strength if you rock climb?

 

[0ni]

Why
How much crushing strength does it take to hold your body weight
How much finger strength does it take to hold a deadlift

 

[D1cko]

You a rock climber too 0ni?

A genetically gifted one.

 

[Darkoz]

He is indeed blessed with everything

 

[spartacus]

no he is not, only deadlifting and powerlifting.

He was told at school by everyone, one day you will be a great powerlifter, not a footballer, runner, or anything else.

I've seen middle aged fat women climb and it has nothing to do with your ability to hold onto a fucking bar

Get off the beginner climbs then bro.

Harder wall climbs require hand strength. Say anything other then that and make yourself look like more of an idiot.

Implying that hand strength = holding onto a barbell is being an idiot
The two are nothing alike
Does this look like holding onto a deadlift to you?
Me neither, glad we could settle that

Please quote where I said anything about holding onto a barbell when talking about rock climbing. Apology accepted.

You said you saw middle aged fat women rock climbing. Obviously not on a climb of any difficulty so who gives a fuck about it.

Hand strength is important.

 

[D1cko]

I'd also like to see a large/heavy person with little hand strength climb a rocky cliff for an hour...

 

[0ni]

Yeah so important, despite the best rock climber on AusBB having trouble doing it and they guy I linked (Adam Clay) being unable to hold onto 100kg

 

[D1cko]

There's no way an adult male can't hold 100kg...you're full of shit

 

[0ni]

OK sure.

 

[Shrek]

I rock climb with no issues yet my grip strength when deadlifting is ordinary. . Go figure.
