One arm dead hang weakness?
Post Body

So I've been trying to break past V10 and was able to hop into an Alber Ok livestream and ask about it. He said that one arm hang boarding doing dead hangs/lockoffs were really good. So I did that for the first time today and noticed that I am really weak in that aspect.

My campus board is at a 20 degree angle with 15mm (half pad) crimp rails on it, not incut at all so they're sloped the 20 degrees with the wall. And I can campus on them after each climbing session just fine, very controlled while doing so. But simply hanging by 1 arm on a 30mm edge (full pad for me) is impossible. Twice the size and can't even dead hang. Hell, even hanging from a 2 full pad ledge feels pretty tough.

Is this normal? Am I just overestimating what should be possible? I can do 1 arm pullups and i'd say that crimps are my strongsuit (my wall 45 degrees with mostly crimps) so I'm not sure if I just have the wrong idea of what should be possible. Is it like how some people can do a 25 pullups but not a 1 arm pullup yet others can only do 15 pullups but can do 3 1 arm pullups?

You are nutty skinny bro... Anyways yeah that's not a finger strength thing. I'm not an expert but I've heard it's a shoulder stability/scapular thing. Pretty normal, it's really hard to deadhang one arm on a crimp.

Can you one arm lock off on a 1-2 pad edge? It's much easier than dead hanging with one arm...

Also, are you really 6'3 120 lbs? :o
