In reply to: Please tell me, when does having a degree make "you" a qualified expert? Maybe you need to look up the definition of qualified? Honestly mate, stop digging - it's getting embarrassing.

Instead kill two birds with one stone. Do a true nordic ski machine with the incline high, to develop your leg size and strength while also improving cardio and leg endurance. Squats, when done properly, are one of the best exercises you can do. It works your entire body. It also gives you great core strength (balance 300 pounds on your shoulders?) which is very applicable to climbing. It would be stupid of me not to do squats. Unless I had a bad back or a bad knee problem Or unless you wanted to become a good rock climber. Jay

Jay Of course, we all know that if you report a higher level, you, by default, have superior training methods, regardless of the difference between onsight trad, and hangdog sport levels. Clearly, a hangdog sport .12a is "superior" to an onsight, old-school trad .11d. After all, the number is higher. serpico climbs way harder than you, and (if I'm not mistaken) is a proponent of (some) strength training for rock climbers. There is a necessary level of strength to pull harder. To utterly dismiss strength training is, IMO foolish.

In reply to: serpico (if I'm not mistaken) is a proponent of (some) strength training for rock climbers. Some strength training for some rock climbers, I think the majority of climbers don't have the time to prioritise the climbing and fit strength/conditioning sessions in - climbing must come first. For me I like the idea of having my crag time completely devoted to quality movement and then working on the strength component later using weights, floor work, fingerboards, and system boards. Using this approach I've upped my bouldering grade 2-3 grades over the last 2yrs, which at 41 and after nearly 20yrs of climbing is I think a reasonable improvement, and I think I've got at least another grade in me...

There seems to be a lot of miss communication on this website. I didn't ask "How do I build my chest? How do I work my chest?" I know 101 different chest workouts. I just wanted to hear from someone who climbs and lifts together. From what I have seen, people either lift or climb. Not both (unless they are not serious about one)
