Lock-Off
Instructions
Start the Climb: Begin climbing one of the selected routes. Lock-Off Technique: As you make each hand move, end the move by locking off on that arm. This means you will hold your arm in a bent position as if doing a partial pull-up. Complete the Route: Work your way to the top, consistently applying the lock-off technique with each hand move.
Notes & Tips
You can maintain the lock-off position while you move to the next hold, or you can lower your body back down to straight arms, depending on your preference. Focusing on locking off will increase the intensity of the climb. Maintain good form to avoid strain or injury. If you find this drill challenging, take it slowly and consider integrating it into your regular climbing sessions gradually. You can use your legs to push yourself into the lock-off move but consider limiting your leg engagement if you can.
