Never thought to go bouldering. My son is interested in rock climing/bouldering, this could be the one.

Being so tall def makes it alot harder at home. Those in-door weak pullup bars aren't too bad if you trust your doorframe enough, need to lift the legs alot to get them off the ground to dead hang. For me I suffered from what I've now learned is kyphosis (tight scapula, neck and trap muscles, bicep tendonitis all contributing) and lordosis from tight hip flexors. My ulnar nerve I discovered had been very pinched causing my grip to be weaker than it should be (pinky finger). Massaging with the fingers in the deep tight spots in the armpit, elbow, shoulder seriously works wonders to relieve the pinched nerves, and it works also incredibly well in the groin and knee. Fingers are a mighty weapon here and nerve gliding drills for the ulnar.

Dead hangs complexed with scapular pulls are really the best. The scapular pulls fix everything just needs determination and grit to keep doing it day in and day out. I doubt one of those back things would help much or athletic tape, but just hammer that shit as hard as your pain tolerance can go with massage, foam roller, stretch, moving around flailing like a mad man

Depend on your general shape and age but it’s never to late.

Do it regulary. Once a week. After a year when you make progress regarding skill, you need different muscles than just biceps.

That’s where the healing begins.

Nowdays people sitting in theire office job and don’t have proper movement anymore. Climbing is in our blood. We are still apes.

I'm gonna start doing this for my grip strength & dynamic pull up strength, on top of typical gym pull ups and chin ups

Seems absolutely incredible for grip, training both the crush and pinch grip modes

I Boulder 3times the week. Go for it. It’s amazing

We are monkeys

Hanging is just so fundamental to the human body. We really are monkeys. Sitting in chairs all day ruined us and almost ruined me if I didn't take the active steps and initiative in fixing myself. It's why my ulnar nerve is sh*t because it's actively involved in climbing a rope or bouldering

Some more than others

Try a pool workout, basic swim lane stuff or can even do sports injury focused stuff in the non weight bearing environment. Old timer buddy just walks up the lazy river dodging kids, helped his back out

Also highly recommend rock climbing if you can get into it. Good friend of mine has been in the sport for two decades, looks like a Viking now. Never seen such a big dude grip tiny rock things.
