I (F 33) have been climbing/bouldering for about ten years. My main training routine has been around bouldering within the past few years among with some outdoor climbing. The lockdown forces me once again into exclusively training at home. My training routine of course also includes pull-ups and since I have injured my tendon on my hand/wrist before the gym closed I had to pause and now modify the way I train pull-ups to be (mostly) pain free and to make sure to not damage my tendon again with the training which I have done before. I'm doing now very slow and controlled pull-ups with focus on form and getting the whole range of motion.
The following question came up though when adjusting my pull-up routine:
Is it superior to focus on form and getting the whole range of motion (doing the pull-up slow and controlled) when doing pull-ups to trying to do explosive pull-ups (which are supposed to make you stronger) but ending up jerking when the strength is not there anymore (or not there yet right from the start)?
I am very curious about hearing your opinions on it.
That's a great question.... and I feel like it just depends on what you want. Do you want to better your ability to lock your arm at every part of the motion during climbing? Or do you want to focus on building power like you would trying to do max campus pulls? That is going to depend on your training goals and I guess even cycle
