>be me
>have a professor who was a bodybuilder
>he says he's lifted weights for roughly the last 20 years, lifts to this day because it's fun etc etc
>he's early 40s, probably started lifting as a teenager
>i know about this, as we've spoken about weightlifting and shit
>bought a lifting belt yesterday in forest green
>really good looking belt, wanted to show him
>i show him he says
>"bro i wouldn't use that if i were you, you'll end up with weirdly developed core muscles"
>and then goes on to tell me never to deadlift in barefeet, as it causes flat feet
>then says creatine is bad for your liver

guys please tell me he's joking. He was a natty bodybuilder during university and i have a lot of respect for him, but I have the feeling he doesn't know what he's talking about for this.

alright assholes, here's the deal...

i like to boulder. been doing it for quite a while. long enough that the "just climb all the time" advice isn't improving my ability. i rarely do it outdoors because the bouldering gym is closer and the problems change regularly. i'd like to get better at it.

goals: increase a grade soonish, learn better form/balance, get stronger grip and stronger core core.

i am able to hit the bouldering gym 2-4 times per week for up to an hour each time. i have a hangboard at home that i can use whenever. beyond some small freeweights (probably max of 50lbs total), i don't have any other exercise equipment.

how should i spend my time in the gym and at home to achieve those goals? i've tried doing 4x4s at the gym but i end up chasing new routes. i've tried doing traversals and end up doing the same when the gym is packed. i do the intermediate hangboard workouts here: http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/training_giude_10_min.html

but i don't do them on any real schedule. usually i do them when i can't visit the gym and i throw some pushups in there or something and call it good. my warmdown after a climb is 10 pushups, 10 dips, and 30-40 crunches with some stretching.

should i just climb as hard as i can everytime i visit the gym and make sure to use the hangboard and do some yoga to retain flexibility/grip on the days i can't? i'm not sure how to structure all of this. i'm especially not sure how to structure it without blowing out some tendons. it's not for a lack of time, just difficulty in deciding how to get after it.

once i figure that shit out, i need to get my diet under control. i can't seem to get enough calories in me on days when i do climb and then end up eating everything i can fucking find.

thanks in advance for any advice.

What percentage of your calories should come from each meal? How many calories from snacks? Is this whole meme of "eat a bunch of small meals throughout the day instead of one big meal" true or false?
