Louis looked better in the first outfit, it was a really good fit
If you're not brushing, you're rushing.
Louis...where are your black and white pants from I unironically love them HAHHAHAH
More videos with Sarah!! Loved her energy, she was so fun to watch!
i personally love the bright sweatshirt and striped pants. Live your best life. Gym wear for men can be so boring! No wonder you guys are ripping your shirts off. You deserve better
Louis, I absolutely love your first outfit.
Love these coaching videos and Sarah was a great student!
She lacked the ankle mobility necessary to sit on the hold with one foot comfortably Round of applause for her tho she was giving it her all in this👏🏽 sesh
WOW Sam and Magnus need to lay off! Looking like a clown is fun
Love this channel, only coaching content I can stomach because it’s not just these niche training tips
I love Louis's clothes!!!!
I appreciate the love, guys! I was absolutely terrified of doing this vid. Lowkey kinda love the sweater myself
they gatta stop putting their mics on their chest, maybe on the side of the collar?
Haha, I'm sorry. I did initially try fixing it to my bra but it kept falling off. My top is a light running singlet so there's nowhere higher to put than this
climbing's gifted hater
Where is the hoodie in the beginning from though its awesome!
I thought the fit was pretty sweet ngl
great shorts!
That fashion looks very wicked
Maybe my gym is inflated.. how is the orange one a v4
The "arm inside/outside the knee" tip was really cool, on that move the difference was massive.
I wonder why a lot of the V grades in the US gyms are so far off compared to the climbing gyms I regularly go to in the Netherlands. Visited the “biggest” boulder gym in the US in Austin and a lot of the V6 grades there were similar to V3/4s over here. Similarly the first V5 in the vid wouldn’t be more than a V3/4 over here. Before I went climbing there I just thought it was a case of “looking easier on video”.
The knee inside vs outside is so subtle, I would never have noticed that difference if he hadn’t pointed it out
Louis: Use your thumbs Ink: Thumbs are aid
Helpful video for my v4 plateau! Though i think that mostly due to my current broken arm. Sarah is a delight to watch figure out improvements so fast.
I think you messed up the sponsor by having such a cool jumper to start with. It was supposed to look bad but you went out the other side and went back to cool. Trousers were awful though 😂
More videos with Sarah! Love her charisma and willingness to think through things and try hard.
Honestly loved the outfit, don't get the hate. The rungne shirt is nice too, but wayy preferred before!
Great tips! Thanks, Louis!
Saw Louis in Manchester depot yesterday filming a vid, happy to say he was dressed like a normal person 😂
Louis, your fashion choices are much better than these sponsored stuff in which you look boring just like everyone else. Be yourself, stay yourself and be proud of being a bit clownish. That's why we love you and your content.❤
That was an awesome and very cute outfit, ❤️ the magnus clothes where pretty boring
I just got my first v8/9 a few months ago- it was raw confidence and piecing it together, just pure projecting. You can pretty much do anything if you believe you can and work to get each piece. Love this coaching and mindset!
I liked the first outfit!
Exactly the video for me 😁😁
I love the addition of a Kilter Board route on these tips videos. It lets us non UK residents have a go at it and really compare our movements with those of the people in the video. Please more of this!
🗽 Your outfit is always a funny start... 😁 .
Well done Sarah. I'm the same as you - took ages to find out that those stubby things on the side of each of your hands can actually be used in climbing. Took me years to discover my own thumbs so I'm pleased that you have been introduced to yours early.
Fantastic vid, learnt so much along with the Sarah. Love your style of teaching!
The elbow inside is not doing any favors on the blue climb.
That intro was a hella good fit.
Magnus got Louis to wear the gear b/c Ink’s sponsorship rates are CRAZY
Colab with Magnus when? 😁
that jumper was fire
#1) put the original outfit back on, it was tight #2) Dont sell out to magnus without making him come on the channel and sell it himself #3) advocate for climbing gyms to become cooperative employee owned companies, join the movement!!
Why does that logo look like a political symbol from say 1930-40’s Germany?
Please do the same video for v2 - v4 :)
What watch do you use? And is that something you use for climbing or something else? Thank you! Love your videos!
Hiya, Sarah here. If you mean my watch, it's a Garmin Fenix! I use it to track all my sports, including climbing. I do a lot of different sports so it's good to know my training status otherwise I'm at a bit of a risk of overtraining
Two things I wish we had in the US: reasonable shipping costs for anything Rungne, and coffee bars at the climbing gym. Also great growl to start the video, Louis! Love all the videos, but I particularly look forward to these coaching videos. Keep up the great work 💚
I got jump scared so hard when she came off the orange v4 it looked like she was a centimeter away from slamming her jaw against the volume 😮 such a great training video though good job Sarah and Louis!
do they sell that sweater on rugne? your fit at the start was killer
