Foot cuts aren’t core failures — they’re torque events. Effective re-engagement requires stopping rotation, bringing the hips back under the CoM path, placing the foot passively, and rebuilding the kinetic chain before moving again.

Dynamic coordination moves aren’t chaotic — they’re predictable systems driven by CoM trajectory, sequencing, timing and counterforce. Successful coordination requires soft contact, precise absorption and exact hip alignment, not brute power.

Micro-adjustments — tiny changes in wrist angle, hip position, foot rotation and finger placement — dramatically improve friction, stability and force direction. Climbing feels easier when these micro-movements keep the system aligned.

Slopers rely on surface area, pressure direction, and micro-movement — not strength. Proper sloper technique requires inward force, wrist alignment, hip positioning, and precise CoM control. Strength without alignment makes slopers worse.

Heel and toe hooks are lever systems that create counterforce, stabilize rotation, and control the CoM. Their effectiveness depends on force direction, hip engagement, and smooth tension transitions—not strength or “gripping with the foot.”

Dropknees and twistlocks are rotational leverage systems that stabilize the body, increase friction, improve reach, and reduce arm load. They work by repositioning the hips, aligning the force vector, and using inward foot pressure—geometry, not strength.

A deadpoint is a four-phase system: preload, acceleration, float, and catch. Success depends on CoM path, hip geometry, foot vector, and timing—not power. Quiet, controlled deadpoints result from precise mechanics, not strength.

Stability comes from geometry, not muscular tension. When your hips, CoM, and force vectors align with the hold, friction and stability increase automatically. Muscles only maintain good position — they cannot fix bad positioning.
