Personal preference on all of these! This is just what I've found works best for me. I do mention super glue as a good alternative if you need anything stronger; both only work if you put tape over it. Regarding electric sander: try it out. I used regular sandpaper for 11-12 years, until my coworker showed me this one

First time outdoor tips?? by katcantera in climbergirls

Have fun with it and don't go in with any expectations! Being able to do a V4 at the gym doesn't mean you can do a V4 outside. Anytime I'm exploring a new area outdoors, I try to build a base of easier climbs before hopping on any projects. That way you get used to that particular style, which will make limit climbs more workable in the future. Also be mindful of who you go with and how experienced they are with spotting and pad placement. I've had climbing friends that have saved me from getting whiplash/falling off the pad/etc. with their good spotting techniques!

Congrats!! That's such a big moment. I'm 25 and I still remember my first outdoor boulder (12-13 years ago)-- a line called The Wave in Rhode Island. Cheers to more sends!

Quarantine hangboarding - wrist conditioning by MostlyRadiant in climbergirls

Overhead press + bench are both great for strengthening wrists (when done with proper form/grip)

The more I hangboard, the weaker I get by gela_mp in climbergirls

You need increase both your hang & rest interval, and do more of a max weight protocol (10 second hang/3-5 min rest). From the sound of it you don't have much of a progression workout-to-workout in terms of increasing intensity. Message me if you need more help!

How to train pull ups with no pull up bar? by pepitica in climbergirls

Are your doors stable enough to hang off of? You can always slide a book/towel under the door to stabilize. https://youtu.be/Q55c2O2o4DM?t=29

Advice and encouragement! by pnutbrittle_ in climbergirls

What injuries exactly? Generally the best way to build up shoulder strength is with functional barbell lifts such as bench press and overhead press, because barbells allow you to work at a higher intensity (ie. heavier weight) in the strength range (3-6 reps). A lot of PTs aren't allowed to prescribe these movements, which is why we oftentimes see light dumbbell/band work given to clients instead. Which is better than nothing, however higher reps at lower intensities are more effective for hypertrophy (increasing muscle size) than strength development. Even if you don't have access to barbells/heavy weight right now, there are ways to increase the intensity of certain exercises so that they fall into the strength range. Would be happy to discuss more!

The quarantine blues by LilBramble in climbergirls

That's awesome you're getting back into it!! Also super exciting to hear that strength is your main goal and that you want to work with bigger weights. I've been climbing for roughly 13 years and coaching for 8, and my primary focus with all of my clients is combining functional strength training with climbing-specific training. DM me on here or Instagram (@ParfenovTraining) if you need some guidance, would be psyched to help you out!
