Climbers do a lot of random exercises in hopes of getting more power. But the most effective thing they can do is adjust how they lift weights.

Strength training is intimidating, but trust me: If you can climb up a boulder, you can lift something heavy off the ground.

Climbing isn’t that special… physiologically, that is.

Having strength and being able to apply strength are two different things. But your training should work both.

“At a certain point, your muscles can only produce the strength they use when you’re doing a weighted hang when in the presence of that extra weight.”
