>Went rock climbing yesterday >Forearm DOMS How good is

your forearms is the only thing preventing you from falling and breaking your neck

what do you think

>>40352817
Rock climbing rocks your forearms like nothing else on god's green earth. Unfortunately, most of what you're building up is finger strength, which doesn't do that much aesthetic-wise. Lots of pro rock climbers have surprisingly small forearms.

>>40352817
Rock climbing well is (almost) all about hanging your weight efficiently off your skeleton, reaching a position which doesn't take much effort to hold (ideally deloading the forearms too). That's why most dedicated rock climbers are skinny with only a few muscle groups showing and noticeable size development. It's a specialized skill, not efficient strength training.

Just do farmer's walks and weighted chins/pullups.

Going rock climbing on Monday for the first time with a few friends.

I've scheduled leg day on the same day and my rest day the day after accordingly.

Anything you can aware me on OP?

Pic related is the physique of a top climber, not aesthetic but lots of core strength, allowing you to do stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K63oS-9rZI4

The forearms doms stop after a couple months training when your efficiency of movement increases.

you will regret doing leg day before climbing. ESPECIALLY calf raises

Hmm well I can't skip it.

Maybe I'll do it after the climbing.

he looks like a fag lol

>>40353056
That is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but that is what peak performance looks like.

>>40353170
If you climb like a beginner you won't even notice.

>>40353056
This just reaffirms my notion that bulk gets in the way of climbing.

The less you weigh and the higher your muscle %age is the easier of a time you will have. Flexibility helps too. Strength training and bulky muscles just get in the way tbqhwy.
