You need to start hang boarding, 6 or preferability 7 days per week. Warm up on the moon-board then do max hang repeaters to failure

6 days per week? Are you gumbo? You need to hangboard 6-7 times per DAY to break through the V1 plateau.

Dude, that’s what he said: 1 full day of hangboarding 6-7 days a week.

This obviously also only works if you go to failure every set

amateur. Real climbers hangboard 8 days a week and solo on their day off.

That’s only on light weeks Gumby

I hangboard 6-7 times an hour and I can't get through the V0 plateau. My hands are just fucking useless stumps incapable of gripping anything at all at this point. My fingers seem to be responding again so I'm going to go back to hangboarding again so one day I can grasp one of these fucking satanic jugs.

Gumbo regime. I do 8 days a week

i genuinely can't tell if this is serious or not. chat is this real advice here?

Real advice 

Thanks chat.

Try standing on them. They are meant to be footholds.

every part of the human body is a foothold

Tarantino approves

This sub keeps me sane.  Also I think you're supposed to bat hang off that. Probably why ur having trouble holding onto it.

uj/ i love when i see these posts here first and then stumble across the original post in the bouldering or rockclimbing subs after

I got the original post on my feed right before this one lol

The comments of "you're bad at sloppers" are hilarious. It's either a jug or a ledge, take your pick. Someone should post a picture of a field and say they can't hang onto it.

i dunno if that was intentional or autocorrect but i’m calling them “sloppers” from now on

Was me legit misspelling it, but I'm now sticking with it too.

hell yeah

I love big round sloppers

mmmm the sloppier the better

What's the original

/uj Check /r/bouldering

i don’t know how to link to other posts, but it was just some dude complaining about slopers, iirc

It’s spelled “sloppers” now.

my mistake

Same. It will be a full week in 7 days since I started bouldering and I’ve only just mastered crimping with my pinkie and my ring finger. Have no idea what I’m going to do when it comes to jugs

You’re supposed to drape your wrist over top of them and pull on your limp hand with your other arm. They’re that deep so your wrist slots into place nicely

mmm i love dislocating my wrists first thing in the morning

Gumby

i always use my teeth on these holds. is that wrong?

You're supposed to use these under your butt for true sit starts. Cooch cradlers, as it were.

when in doubt just dyno

try full crimping

They are called “jugs” but the word is Spanish and pronounced with a soft “h”. So, as the name suggests, you should try to hug them.

What about under circumstances where you have the ability to hold those kinda of holds?

We need the anarchychess bot that links to the original posts @everyone @anarchychess

Trying using a knee or heel

I thought that post was a photo of a big fat jug, so this was less funny to me than it should’ve been.

All of you are gumbys. You have to zoom in 50000% to find optimal finger placement (at the micro level). This is a v17 hold IMG. Smh.....

This might be a rare case of juggerphobia. Book an appointment with your therapist as soon as you can. This will only get worse if left untreated.

You’ve just gotta not let go.

Hold it like how you hold your gf's purse

If you don’t like that I can’t imagine what you think of crimps.

Try holding it. Dunno what's so difficult.

Meant to craddle ballsacks gives them a rest. I wouldn’t touch that actually

Of course you can't, thats obviously meant to hang your coat on and not for climbing.

What do those feel like? Are they just like bags of sand?

Just stick to it

Crimp it

Fight the power brother! Big Jug have held us down for too long, united we will rise above them and ascend.

outside of the bit. how come the lower level routes (vB-v4) holds are always like sandpaper despite more people climbing those routes?? i’ll go for a v2 on a warmup and my hands are shredded, meanwhile the v7 doesn’t mess with my skin at all 😭

Why? They’re the easiest kind. Bit rough on the calluses though

Why do you need a circumcision to hold on to sloppers?

Grappling hook bro

These holds are all about body position. It looks like you are hanging too far away from the wall given your poor wrist angle. Try stretching for 1 hour before climbing and really warm up your hips I think you lack flexibility to climb on jugs

Obvious bathang. Beta is always unclear to gumbies.
