Adding muscle and climbing performance

For reference I am 21 yrs old 6 ft tall and weight 160 pounds, do not have any noticeable fat, mostly muscle and mostly toned.

I'm looking to put on more muscle for other sports, and to hopefully prevent future injuries with this additional muscle.

I know this probably won't help my climbing all that much, but will it hurt it? I rarely see super buff climbers, because they weight more and would need to have such a strong grip to hold their own weight.

How will adding more muscle - effect my climbing? I'm on the border of 5.10's and 5.11's and would like to also get better at climbing, however it isn't my main priority at this point in my life

No really though, p8ntballing and sk8tboarding don't require all that much lean muscle so you should be fine.

If I was looking to gain muscle w8 I would make sure I 8 lots of protein and lifted lots of w8s. And don't forget to shock them bi's.

wow some of you guys on this forum are really pathetic... I ask a serious question about climbing and you give me a ridiculous answer having nothing to do with climbing? Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

Apparently you don't either. The internet is a resource of knowledge, and you come here????!!??

Anyway, how was your poorly phrased question serious? You apparently want to gain muscle. So eat more protein and work out more. Jesus christ it's not rocket science. If you lift weights, you'll get bigger. If you run and skateboard, you'll stay lean.


Your "belief" that more muscle will help you avoid injury is another issue entirely, and it has nothing to do with how much muscle mass you have. It has to do with how you use that muscle mass....and no, I refuse to answer the obvious and inevitable question that is about to follow.

Look up, and right. There is a search bar. Type some nouns, maybe some adjectives too. Things will happen, information will come to you. Whether you read and interpret that information is your responsibility, not ours.

OK, ok. More serious answer. (Sorry panda).

Whether or not more muscle will affect your climbing depends.

More important than muscle in climbing is how you use it. Your technique is what will get you up hard climbs, not your strength. There are climbers who are buff - I've known championship winning body builders who climb - and climb well.

There are lean climbers who climb fantastically hard.

Will added mass hurt? Maybe, maybe not.

why don't you just climb more, instead of just sitting around your house all day getting right hand strong... just stop being a dumb-ass and do the work that easy. lift and eat if you want to get bigger. it will do it will do shit for helping you not to get hurt. If any thing you'll have just more weight and more uncontrolled strength.

trolls are so much fun to feed though... and i don't think this was an intended troll some retard is just missing his mommy and needs someone to tell them what to do. I just think the stupid people should just not be allowed to procreate.... Ever see the movie Idicracy. its pretty a documentary on how the world will be when all the retards have the run of the country (not like there smart people in Gov. to begin with)
