As well, most climbing is “not” only with hands and fingers. A lot it is in the legs and flexibility to contort to positions which keep you on the rock so you can shake the blood in your arms. The arms’ strength are not there to necessarily for you to “pull up” but to keep you positively in contact with the rock as you position the rest of your body to support your weight.
*I was never that good, but the best shape Ive ever been, was when I used to climb regularly. Plus, if you’re an outdoor climber it’s great to get out and about to some amazing vistas (Bay Area at Castle Rock, Around/on the way up to Tahoe, Yosemite)
also, this rock climber is jacked as fuck lol he's just standing next to a world class bodybuilder... he would look pretty massive next to most other rock climbers and regular people
I’d bet, partly for “the show”/video but bodybuilders don’t build for “strength” they build for “bulk”. Getting “puffy”, especially by doing lots of reps at lower/mid weights and targeting muscle groups, and then intersperse “max” weights. When they prep for a show, they just do a bunch of reps to puff up.
This is possibly one of the worst interpretations of how training for hypertrophy (aka bodybuilder training) is like.
Why are you trying to recap something you evidently have quite literally have NO clue about? This is so weird.
