Compound exercises are always good, you need a lot of leg strength as well.
Pull-ups are obviously great.
I imagine climbing itself gives you enough grip training but otherwise you can do isolation for that too.

I've been bouldering for 8 years. I mostly boulder indoors (i'm into competing). Feel free to ask anything!

>Pull-ups are obviously great.
Pull ups don't help climbing as much as many people think. They can actually just hinder your recovery.

>you need a lot of leg strength as well.
The recommendation is being able to do 5x pistol squats for each leg, and be able to deadlift 2x your bw (anywhere between 1,5-2x is enough really unless you're around pro level)

>what lifts/exercises are good to do in order to get better at climbing?
Is your main goal to be a better climber, or to be good at climbing and lifting? If you want to climb better, you should just climb more and rest or do active recovery when you're not climbing.

Hangboard and campusboard training are handy when you climb around v6 level, but even at that point they are not necessary and mostly it's just better to climb more.

my current routine:
lateral and front raises
cable machine axe crossovers- up and down
bent over tricep extensions
dips
curls, hammer and reverse, and pull ups
shrugs

as for legs, you really don't need strong legs. The tension doesnt come from them, it comes from your pelvis and core. the only way to improve that is climb more, specifically very very slow. Half your grade, and climb those at a sloth like pace. It will make you wicked powerful with your lock-offs as well.

I climb v12, and truly believe the above got me where i am.

Why is the rec pistols x5 vs barbell?
Why is double bw diddly rec'd?

One exercise I do recommend - pistol squat get it to 20 reps.

good advice -- I'm only like a v7/8 climber but the only thing I would add is that doing intense core workouts at the end of climbing sessions has definitely gotten me better. Additionally, climbing doesn't really hit those "push" muscles (pec, tris, shoulders) as much as most fit/zens want for that aesthetic look so on off days I would suggest a good push routine.

Why?

Deadlifts and kettle bell work, things like swings and snatches, has helped me with my climbing.

Just lose weight.

if i don't have a climbing gym in my city, is it okay to just do hangbords and capusboard to train?
should i start climbing outside or what can i do in my case? plz answer

Definitely a viable option. Some of the best climbers I have seen are pretty much twigs that can hold onto things. I don't thing most should worry about cutting weight unless you are looking to get really competitive with climbing or you are over weight to begin with.

Personally I think having a big dead lift is more important than sending V10 routes.

What do you do for active recovery? Are you just talking about cross training? Running, biking, swimming?

>for climbing

Yes you use legs. Do you even climb?

Climbers look ripped and shredded in photos until you realize most of them are 5'6 and

Most of the top ranked bouldering men on IFSC are around 180-190cm tall

Yeah they're ottermode with more functional shoulder and core strength but calling everyone a midget is retarded

>Yeah they're ottermode

Otter mode is twink mode get the fuck out

Get a hang board and climb more

Get clear framed fad glasses, a fishermans beanie, a beer belly, a dyke girlfriend with purple hair and a kid that isn't yours

Then you'll be like all the boulderer basedboys at my gym

Until you're easily climbing 5.12, climbing is the best training for climbing. After that you can supplement based on your goals and projects. Climb more!

Don't forget to go gay

You'll never be an elite climber if you don't twink it up for Jamal

Projecting a little bit new friend?

There is a reason why flags, dykes and nerds gravitate towards climbing. It helps them feel special and unique because the rest of society rightly hates them

twinks are thicc, what are you a fucking hetero?

Do you feel hated and casted out m8?

Also, thinking you are above fags and nerds while posting of this Mongolian Yurt building themed fitness message board.

Ya bro I'm alpha as fuck

yeah but you dont need strong legs for your legs to be strong enough to climb well, theyre already way stronger than your arms without lifting at all

grip training, you should be taught how to put as little work on your arms and legs as possible but grip will always be necessary

4x4s:
pick 4 boulder problems near your limit that you can do and do them back to back. Take a short break and repeat 3 more times.

arc training: climb routes back to back at well below your limit (30% of max strength as some suggest) for 20-40 minutes

repeaters: hangboard 7 sec, rest 3 sec, repeat 6x total. couple min rest, do 5-10 sets.

You don't use quad strength as much as you use glutes and hamstrings. et Tough overhangs where you for example have to put a heel hook over your head and use it to pull yourself up - that's pretty much impossible without those ratios. Neverthless, there's no such thing as "too strong" in climbing. You can be too heavy, but not too strong. It's a strength:weight sport.

I'm myself so gassed out after bouldering, that i can't really do a progressive core workout. I have to do it on an another day or take some time off from bouldering that day.

There's no replacement for climbing. Your best option is to climb outside and when that's not possible, doing a hangoard / campusboard session. But if you're a beginner, you should not do hangboard or campusboard sessions (or you have to be really carefull and well coached how to do it). Your joints are too weak at this point. And outside training is what some pro's prefer for their main training.

Light to medium cardio, yoga, stretching, injury prevention workouts.
