there is a boulder hall near me and i plan to go there regulary. anybody here have experience with it? i guess it's a good training for gripstrenght and general upperbody strenght, or is it more like cardio? how do i integrate this into my liftingplan?
is it a good place to meet fit women, since no fatfuck would go climbing?

10/10 for fun will give you forearm, back, ab Doms

sounds good. i'm tall and have huge hands what makes my forearms look small in comparsion. would be great to get bigger forearms.

Climb like a male and it's excellent grip and back work.
Climb like a woman and it's excellent grip and leg work.

>is it a good place to meet fit women
no, it may have a decent 70/30 female/male split but they are only there because their bfs go

dissapointing but bearable

Nothing has got me as shredded as climbing. Honestly makes a 2 hour workout fly by.

I climb regularly for nearly six years now. Met my GF through the hobby, we go to the gym together.
I strongly recommend you to go with someone experienced or hire a coach for your first few times. They'll show you correct form, movement technique, answer beginner questions, can do the route you're struggling with so you have an example, etc.

Its an insane workout. Female climber hands look like something I dont want to have on my dick. I dont even want a fit gf. My gf its meals that are children sized and shes full. Thats perfect

they have a beginners class, 3 sessions over 10 days. planing to do this first to learn and see if i like it.

just thinking about this makes me diamonds.

most chicks go with their boyfriend

great workout tho, difficult and fun, been doing it for years - just make sure to train your antagonists as well otherwise you turn into a hunchback
also: learn and practice good technique from the get-go, don't be afraid to watch others to learn from them and ask them what you're doing wrong; additionally your tendons DO NOT get stronger at the same rate as muscles, it takes atleast 1-2 years for them to develop somewhat so don't overdo it and get injured

It's fucking amazing. Had soreness like you wouldn't believe the day after in all my muscle groups when I went the first time. It works your entire body like crazy and gives you an amazing sense of accomplishment when you beat a course. Definitely will go back and try to work my way up the harder climbs. Just make sure you learn how to land right when falling from super high up. Landed the wrong way on my hand the first time and it fucked up my joints a bit.

See if you can find a bouldering gym that also has weight equipment. The one I go to has barbells, free weights, and a bunch of other stuff like rings and hoops. You can probably make it your main gym in that case, or use it to supplement your workouts at the regular gym.

Fun, will get you fit as fuck if you dedicate yourself to it. Probably will make friends whether you like it or not.

full of shit. climbing works forearms and nothing else

I understand your point but there are exceptions to every rule. I personally get a great jaw workout climbing but thats because I have some quirks in my method.

Lmao, fucking no. Any difficult route works abs and lats like fuck. Any route with overhangs is like asymmetric front levers half the time.

Zero cardio. It's mostly spurts of effort with long rests in between attempts, since it works small muscles so hard. Fun as fuck though. Slightly scary too, which is nice.

Like said, it's great arms, back and core work, decent for legs. Beginner movements have nearly no shoulder involvement, though it starts showing up more often later on.

You need to compensate a lot in push exercises, or you get the stereotypical imbalanced boulderer look: very lean overall, huge but arched upper back, NO pecs at all, small legs and shoulders.

Most routines work decently around that.
e.g. PPL, change the pull day to bouldering, do rows, pullups, accessory work after climbing to finish off.

is right too
take it easy the first year.
It took me 3-5 days to recover to 90% at first, now 2 days is full recovery. Had to take weeks off climbing a few times in the first year due to tendon inflammation.

There's a lot of downtime, and since you're often tackling the same route as other people, you kind of notice yourself chatting. That can lead to friends, careful. And yeah, there's a decent gender ratio compared to most sports, everyone mentions it. In that environment, if you're attractive and only somewhat autistic there's decent odds. But going for that purpose is creepy, desperate, and girls can tell the dishonesty in your second intentions from a glance.

this you?

If you do it right you'd probably look like peak natty ideal. Small with some muscle, super lean and absurdly strong for your size.

this is my goal. i'm 6'4" decent face and with that body i would be in the top 1%

i will go there to work on my body and coordination. meeting girls there is optional but would be the cheery on top.

Former fat fuck here, started climbing 6/7 years ago. Lost a lot of weight and at the same time gained lots of muscle. If possible try climbing as well, more moves that are overall easier, it's more of a cardio training if done right.

M/F ratio is decent, people are up for a talk most of the time.

>lats
now you can really look like you have no delts or pecs
