Yo, names jay. ive been “buildering” for about a year. but i had no idea that there was anyone else who did this. I mean i saw those russian wall climbing videos. but i couldnt find anything else about it or where i could find any other wall climbers. anyway found this site and need a little help. when i started wall climbing i was ok, but now i cant seem to get any better, do you guys know certain exercises i could use to improve my skills.

    You could try pull-ups,one armed pull-ups,dips,push-ups,clapping push-ups,arm circles,or handstands,handstand push-ups,sit-ups,walking handstands,clappinng handstand push ups,jumping,and running thats always good and those are the ones off my head but those are some great exercises to do that i also do and almost all of those exercises there help your arms/endurance hope that helped.

    Joe:  You do one arm pull ups and clapping handstand push ups?

    Jay:  If you're after free running, you're probably looking at the wrong website by coming here.

    Yeah I try to stay in shape I'm also a very athletic guy so when I have freetime on my hands i do that.

    I'm delinquent on the site for a week and look what I miss.

    Statistical truism: 1 in 100,000 people can do one armed pull-ups.
    Welcome to the club Joe.  

    Other interesting factoids:

    – I only do one armed pull-ups in my dreams.
    – Alain Robert can do 4 one finger pull-ups in a row.
    – John Long (rock climber) used to do 100 one armed pull-ups a day, holding a 40lbs dumbbell in the other arm.
    – Nobody can do clapping handstand push-ups, that shit is just bananas.

    As for the specific diffs, between free running and buildering…well I could be serious and tell you, but I'd be wasting a perfectly good topic for a future literary work of genius. Right now I simply don't have the time, but thanks for the idea.*

    Another feat of freakishness is the John Gill horizontal press thing.

    Anyway, like I say, only about 10 in a million people can do such stuff. I've got some prolific climber friends who climb well into the 5.13s, and I have yet to personally witness a one armed pull-up by anyone.

    So Joe, if you are telling the truth: good for you. Go climb some crazy shit, take some pictures, and send em in. We could use some more hardcore stuff on buildering.net. Way too many kids climb up to the third step of their parent's stepladders and call it buildering.

    Got a mate who can bust out 4 on each arm.  And that's after climbing for a few hours.  Mentalness.

    There's a couple of guys at the wall who can do em.  not many mind, and most can only churn out one. they've all been climbing for years and are at the top of their game.

    One day…
