Foot Cuts & Re-Engagement: How to Restore the Kinetic Chain

Foot Cuts & Re-Engagement: How to Restore the K...

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...

Dynamic Coordination Moves: Timing, Sequencing & CoM Control

Dynamic Coordination Moves: Timing, Sequencing ...

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...

Micro-Adjustments: 1–2 mm Movements That Change Everything

Micro-Adjustments: 1–2 mm Movements That Change...

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...

Sloper Technique: Pressure, Vector Alignment & Micro-Movement

Sloper Technique: Pressure, Vector Alignment & ...

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...

Heel & Toe Hooks: Force Direction, Lever Arms & Stability

Heel & Toe Hooks: Force Direction, Lever Arms &...

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...
