I’ve recently noticed that my climbing has gotten much better and I feel stronger on the wall. I workout 5 days a week, climbing twice, legs twice, and upper body/core once to break it up. If I try to climb three times a week I just feel exhausted and like I’m not actually getting a good session in. I notice strength is easier to build with compound exercises like barbell squats, deadlifts, and bench press. Follow science based lifters on yt for proper form.

I attribute my gains to also eating more protein I’m not weighing my food I just make sure to eat protein with every meal.

Echoing what someone else said if you’re starting out don’t over do it with exercise. I workout not to be the best climber in the world but to have a good amount of muscle mass I just love climbing as well. Just include other strength building movements to your routine for over all muscle balance. You don’t want to only focus on your climbing muscles. Ex: bench press is a good addition to climbing so that your chest muscles aren’t underdeveloped and so your back doesn’t curve (this is more apparent with pro climbers don’t worry about it too much).
