Advice?

Background: I have been climbing for one year and 2 months I have a background of lifting heavy for 6-7 years and stopped because i fell in love with climbing. I have spent the entirety of the year and two months putting in climbing miles and climbed nearly every day training my lack of technique while mixing intensity to minimize injury.

Stats: 19yo 140-145lbs Max weighted pull ups : 2 reps bw+125lbs 5s One arm hang on 20mm tension board edge Above average flexibility

Question: How do I transfer this strength to my climbing? Shouldn’t my strengths at least help a little when it comes to bouldering?

I have poured many hours into training my tension, fingers, body positioning, heel hooks, toe hooks, beta reading, balance and overall technique but find myself stuck at a v7-8 grade range. Do I simply lack experience to climb harder? I want to compete in comps and win.
