That's a cool vid. He does some huge spans in there. The thing where he paddles up at the start is cool, but that's way easier to do on small moves. If you look at his max ladder at the end, he's not using any momentum at all. That may be better for doing your personal best, but it's not ideal for training contraction speed IMO. From what I have read, campus training is meant to be plyometric. Doing 1-5-9 in the way that video does it, seems like it's just being done for the number - it may have different benefits, but from what I understand, it's not really going to result in the kind of power gains that would be had from dialing it back to say, 1-4-8 and exploding off the rungs with fast contractions. Which, I guess gets back to the old, why are you campusing in the first place... I've mentioned this elsewhere, but it almost seems like the campus is to climbing as the bench press is to weightlifting. Hanging out on reddit climbharder you get a bunch of people who ask questions like "I can campus 1-5-9, what grade should I be climbing?"

His 5-9 is a one arm pull-up basically. That said his technique looks safe for shoulder, with nice control

Here is a clip of a short standard ladder on smalls from my campus #0 session for spring. This is probably the first season that this felt as solid as it did right off the bat. During my warm up bouldering I was failing on my v-medium problems. My distance was off on the second move but much more precise to the end. Notice the jumbled board. I have to make some sacrifices to space limitations somewhere. Lol http://instagram.com/p/BTH0DNpAjb3
