Top 10 Instagram Training Vids of 2018

Aside from seeing friends’ travel pics or photos of their food, dogs or kids, Instagram has offered a way for professional climbers to share with their followers how they train with videos that are both impressive and inspiring.

We compiled ten of the most popular training videos of 2018.

Some you may remember, some you may have missed. Either way, check them out and get psyched!

It’s surprising this vid has “only” 30K views, because it is pretty sick!

This is the thing I have spent the most time, EVER! This campus board was built back in 2010, and I was so ridicoulously weak that I could not do a single move. Interestingly, i won the bouldering World Cup 2010 anyway. 8 years later, a dream that looked so impossible, finally happened. It was only due to the knee injury I have been dealing with in the last 2 months, I have been focusing on campusing and power. Now it is time to be climber again!

During the comp season there’s no time for real training… after a busy few weeks traveling around the world with comps every weekend, even a couple pull ups feel kinda hard ? @madrockclimbing @mammut_absolute_alpine @neprosport
